In summary, a mechatronics student from South Africa is seeking help identifying a device used for leveling equipment. The device is adjustable and uses a bolt to increase its thickness. It is called a precision leveling wedge and is manufactured by Farrat. Four of these devices are used at each corner of a piece of machinery for accurate leveling and stability.

Hi all
I'm a second year mechatronics student in South Africa.
I'm currently doing vacation training and need a little help identifying a device.

Attached is a picture, rough dimensions:
Height: 30 - 50mm (adjustable)
Width: 120mm
Length: 170mm (fully extended vertically)

It uses a bolt (approx M10) which is tightened to pull the middle wedge between the two outer wedge, hence increasing it's thickness.
4 are used, one at each corner of a piece of machinery. They allow for accurate leveling of the equipment and are extremely sturdy.

Does anyone have an idea of the device's real name??

Thank you
Roscoe
