Abstract:
1. Method of producing a print head support in the form of a prismatic hollow body, the walls of which are formed by assembling top belt modules, bottom belt modules, front wall modules and rear wall modules respectively one after the other in the longitudinal direction of the print head support, and transverse webs are provided in the interior of the print head support spaced at distances apart from one another, and at least one guide track is provided on the print head support extending in its longitudinal direction for a print head mounted so that it can move along the guide track, wherein the modules constituting the individual walls are disposed respectively one after the other in the longitudinal direction of the print head support, and the abutment points formed as a result are offset with points at which an abutment point of adjacent modules is disposed in the longitudinal direction, and the at least one guide track is formed by machining regions of the modules to remove material after the modules and transverse webs have been assembled, the machining occurring across at least several of the modules connected in the longitudinal direction.
