Abstract:
1. A machine for carrying out machining operations on two rectangular frameworks arranged one above the other and extending horizontally, said machine using at least one power tool and comprising: a machine base having a length and a width, both extending in a horizontal direction; two framework guide supporting devices mounted on said base frame, each guide supporting device including an elongate horizontal support frame mounted on said base frame; two horizontally extending guide arrangements mounted one above the other on each horizontal support frame, said guide arrangements being adapted to guide and support respectively said two rectangular frameworks for intermittent horizontal movement relative to said machine in the lengthwise direction of the base frame; a tool supporting mechanism including a horizontal support beam mounted for sliding movement on said base frame in the widthwise direction of said base frame; at least one power tool for carrying out machining operations on said frameworks; and a transporting mechanism mounted on said horizontal support beam, supporting said at least one power tool, and capable of moving said at least one power tool both horizontally on said support beam in said lengthwise direction of the base frame and vertically relative to said base frame and said support beam; wherein during use of said machine, said at least one power tool can carry out one or more machining operations on said two frameworks and said two frameworks are supported one above the other on said two guide arrangements.
