Abstract
A cartesian-type machine tool, particularly but not exclusively a laser machine, includes an operating head disposed at the end of a main beam which is cantilevered on a fixed support structure and is movable, relative to the fixed structure, in the direction of its own longitudinal axis. A considerable part of the weight of the main beam is supported by an auxiliary beam movable parallel to the main beam and cantilevered on the fixed structure, by support means which transmit the substantial part of the weight of the main beam to the auxiliary beam without rigid constraints of distance between the main beam and the auxiliary beam.

A cartesian-type machine tool, particularly but not exclusively a laser machine, including a support structure, a main beam which is cantilevered on the support structure and is movable relative to the support structure in the direction of its own longitudinal axis, and an operating head disposed at the end of the main beam and movable in at least two directions at right-angles to one another, wherein it also includes an auxiliary beam which is movable parallel with the main beam and is cantilevered on the support structure, and support means through which the auxiliary beam supports a considerable part of the weight of the main beam and of the operating head and which can transmit the main part of the weight of the main beam to the auxiliary beam without rigid constraints of distance between the main beam and the auxiliary beam.
