Abstract
Machine for producing three-dimensional structures on a substrate having at least two individual aggregate components, includes a machine frame whereon the aggregate components are mounted at predetermined relative positions, the machine frame being of one-piece light-weight construction and having fitting devices for the individual aggregate components, the fitting devices being formed at the predetermined relative positions on the machine frame.
Claims12
In a machine for producing three-dimensional structures on a substrate having a plurality of individual aggregate components, a machine frame whereon the aggregate components are mounted at predetermined relative positions, the machine frame comprising:
- a one-piece light-weight frame having fitting devices formed thereat for securing the individual aggregate components to said one-piece frame, said fitting devices being formed at predetermined relative positions on said one-piece frame;
- and
- said fitting devices including a plurality of press roller fitting devices, a paper transport fitting device, sheet-feeding fitting devices and sheet delivery fitting devices.
Method for manufacturing a machine frame for accepting thereon individual aggregate components of a machine for producing three-dimensional structures on a substrate, which comprises:
- manufacturing a solid frame-work of light-weight structural material;
- forming thereon a plurality of fitting devices for the aggregate components by non-reactive precision processing;
- and
- during the forming step, applying laser beams for precision-finishing recesses in the solid frame-work and projections on the solid frame-work, respectively, to form the fitting devices.
