WHY CHOOSE BILZ FOR MACHINE INSTALLATION
With years of experience in machine installation, BILZ is your reliable partner. Our expertise, combined with state-of-the-art technology, ensures optimal alignment of your machines – regardless of size or complexity. We understand that every production environment is unique and has specific requirements for machine installation. Therefore, we offer customized solutions tailored exactly to your needs. A key part of our consulting service regarding vibration isolation and machine installation is the measurement of vibration emissions and immission levels on-site. Based on the measurement results, we can provide recommendations for the optimal installation location and develop vibration control measures for the safe operation of the machine. For example, by using a platform (casting plate) under the machine bed, we can increase the inherent stiffness and optimize the center of gravity of the entire system. This type of indirect machine mounting enables improved vibration isolation and, compared to foundation isolation, increases the flexibility of the machine’s installation location.
Our highly qualified technicians have in-depth knowledge and extensive practical experience in the precise positioning and leveling of machines, ensuring long-term stable and safe operation.
Moreover, we place great emphasis on close collaboration with our clients. From the first consultation to final acceptance, we guide you step by step and provide expert support throughout the process. Our project planning is designed to minimize downtime and disrupt production processes as little as possible.
Last but not least, many successfully completed projects and the high satisfaction of our clients speak for themselves. Industry leaders in automotive, aerospace, and general mechanical engineering trust BILZ when it comes to the precise installation of their production equipment.

FAQ Machine Installation
How can I precisely level my machine?
Bilz has various height-adjustable and self-locking solutions for this purpose, e.g. the integration of levelling elements for a machine installation with vibration-isolation and structure-borne sound insulation. The maintenance-free machine feet ensure an easy and precise alignment of machines and they are available in many different models. The levelling range depends on the chosen bolt length and it can be adjusted according to your individual requirements.
How do you achieve the optimum set-up of an industrial machine on uneven ground?
So-called precision levelling wedges facilitate the fast alignment of machines with a levelling precision in the 1/100-mm range. The strong self-locking capacity of the levelling wedges reduces autonomous shifting occurring under vibration forces. The bolted-on wedges remain in place even when the machine is lifted, so that a flexible machine installation is significantly simplified. Furthermore, the high-quality precision mounting wedges of Bilz offer the possibility to compensate floor unevenness of +/-3°. Find information here about the different type series.
What has to be considered when moving an industrial machine?
Moving machinery always presents an opportunity to scrutinise and optimise the current machinery set-up. Questions: Nature of the floor / substrate? Is the installation site on a solid floor or on a floor slab? Are there sensitive instruments in the vicinity? Our experts would be happy to advise you.
Which points regarding vibration-insulated machine installation should be considered when planning a new production area?
The following questions should be considered: How often do the machines have to be moved? What masses and forces are at play? Nature of the floor / substrate? Is the installation site on solid ground or on a floor slab? An advantage if you plan well at the beginning: Sensible vibration-optimised configuration of the machine is also possible, e.g. by means of an oscillating foundation. Find out more about a Bilz solution by means of oscillating foundation – the exact layout of the foundation ensures an efficient solution for the long-term fault-free operation of the machine.
How can I set up my machine outdoors with vibration isolation?
A special challenge is the vibration-isolating installation of machines outdoors – due to the effects from the weather, it is important to use wind- and weather-resistant material for the machine installation. Specifically suited for this purpose are, e.g. levelling elements made of stainless steel. Together with the matching fastening bolts, they make for a tried and proven combination for use outdoors. You can find various stainless-steel versions in our product range.
