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

Precision leveling wedge

I believe that is the manufacturer of the unit in the picture.
