Apparatus for machining, especially drilling of structural shapes

摘要

An apparatus for drilling structural shapes such as angles, I-beams and H-beams has sliders shiftable transversely to the beam along vertical and horizontal members of a frame through which the beam is passed. At least one of the sliders can have a rotatable carrier whose axis is perpendicular to the web or flange being drill and from which a respective drilling unit is radially offset. The longitudinal position of drilling is determined by the angular position of the carrier and any transverse offset is compensated by movement of the respective slider.
