Ball feet allow machine guards to be floor mounted
The Item adjustable ball foot mounting has been designed for where cell guards or enclosures are floor mounted, rather than fitted to a machine structure, and have to accommodate uneven floors
The system consists of a base profile to which is fitted a spring-loaded hinged lid profile, both of which are cut to length as necessary.
The holding force of the hinged lid can be varied by the number of leaf springs fitted, and is improved by an elastomer retaining cord captive within the extrusion.
Applications can range from a simple portable A4 clipboard, up to large units to hold permanent work instructions, flip charts, or A0 drawings, with or without glazed panels.
The base profile is compatible with the Item Line-8 kit system and by means of a standard spring clip can be push-fitted onto any suitable Item profile.
This makes it easy to mount the document holders on workbenches or trackside equipment as desired.
A variety of popular sizes are available straight from the catalogue in either clipboard or picture frame format.
All parts are available ex-stock from the Ripley factory. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
