It facilitates the foundation and assembling of the pedestal () on the ground, allowing calibration of its verticality and azimuthal orientation, further serving as a formwork element. Said frame comprises a quadrangular structure (), articulated in at least one of its corners, preferably two, and adapted to surround the pedestal (), which is provided with four horizontal profiles (); calibration bolts () through which the pedestal () is pressed and adjusted in a vertical position; with said bolts () being inserted into nuts (), which are connected to vertical bodies () linked to the profiles (); and plates () linked to those profiles () which feature holes () through which picks () are vertically inserted, designed to be nailed to the ground for fixation and stability of the frame.

Frame for supporting and calibrating a pedestal, preferably for a heliostat

Molding bench for curving mirrors comprising a sheet () supported on a frame by means of a joint system that prevents the sheet () from shifting and moving and to the lower part of which are fixed a series of air pipes () having a general air header pipe () connected to a vacuum pump. The sheet () consists of a square lattice the intersections of which have perforations that match up with a series of suction points of the air pipes (), intended to produce a vacuum in the bench and which have been previously calibrated, such that said bench can be used to manufacture mirrors having any curvature.
