Nach dem Ausrichten Abdrückring der Justierschraube auf Bodenplatte festschweißen und mittels der Zylinderschrauben die Anlage fixieren.

Still my text on profile machinery. Is this simply a gasket?

spring washer


Explanation:
is what this looks like to me, although I'm not too sure of my ground. I am not convinced one would weld a spring washer to the baseplate of your machine, but anything's possible...

By the way, what is it "profiling"?

Another \"BTW\": I don\'t THINK it is a gasket - but again, I\'m not sure...

I wonder actually if it is better described as a \"locking ring\", if it\'s intended to hold the machinery both level and in place, as it seems to be part of the adjusting device.
