Abstract
Machine tool structure designed to reduce the noise incident to operation. The invention is illustrated and described as applied to a vertical broaching machine in which the frame structure is modified by supporting the operating components on a vertical slab or thick plate reinforced with longitudinally extending ribs and including an open truss type support rather than the conventional hollow or enclosed columnar frame in common use.
Claims15
A machine tool characterized in minimal noise production during operation, said tool having a generally rectangular, heavy, solid, unitary, metal, slab-like main support plate, rib means integrally secured to one side of said plate and extending from one transverse edge at least substantially to the opposite edge of said plate and spaced inwardly from the remaining longitudinal edges of said plate, a first machine component rigidly secured to one side of said plate, an open truss-like frame structure connected to said plate, and said frame structure including means extending to the bottom of said plate to provide support for said plate directly from a supporting floor, and a second machine tool component in operative juxtaposition to said first component.
