I need help figuring out anchor lengths needed for my application

I need help figuring out anchor lengths needed for my application

I am mounting a robot and I need to verify my anchor lengths to make sure the floor is thick enough to hold. I have a max weight of 500kg and a max reach of 81in from center of anchor pattern. I am using (4) 3/4 anchor rods with HIT-HY-R Adhesive. The Concrete has some cracks so my anchors will range from a min of 15in spread to a max of 46in. The base plate is 1.75in thick. We are having core samples done to know the thickness and composition of the floor. What is needed for thread/floor length. What would the pull out force be.
See attached Ref. pic.
Thanks.

Eric,

For design help, engineers typically utilize our free PROFIS Anchor software to perform calculations based on the specific conditions of the project. PROFIS Anchor can be accessed through this link.

Pullout/bond strength can also be found in the product’s ICC-ES Evaluation Report which is available here.
