Description: |
| Abstract:
In the machine tool field, particularly in the case of heavy machine tools, it has been common practice heretofore to utilize plane sliding ways between the bed of the machine and the table. It has also been a practice, in such machine tools, to employ replaceable non-metallic wear plates on the load bearing areas of the ways and which involve hand scraping operations to produce th final way surfaces.
A general object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved way construction finding particular, but not exclusive, utility in supporting major members of heavy machine tools such as planer millers and which will be conducive to precision operation with minimum power required to drive such members longitudinally of the ways.
Claim:
This invention relates to machine tools, and more particularly to a new and improved machine tool way construction for mounting a reciprocable table, as in a planer miller. |
