Does the computer calculate the shim change for soft foot or do you have to calculate that still?

[@PRUFTECHNIKGroup]

When each machine foot is individual loosened the alignment computer measures the amount of change/lift at the respective foot. Depending on the determined type of soft foot this could be the amount to be placed under the specific machine foot.
