Description: |
| This is a continuation-in-part of the prior application having Ser. No. 07/835,949 filed on Feb. 20, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,354,158. The invention relates to a machine for locating an operator with respect to an object, and more particularly to a versatile machine tool in which the tool is connected to a vibration isolation device that separates the machine tool from a support structure such as a floor.
Abstract:
A machine tool isolation system is disclosed. The preferred system includes a pair of platforms connected by a plurality of legs. A tool is typically connected to one platform, and a workpiece to the other. The legs are able to move one platform with respect to the other which can create vibrations. A base, typically formed by a plurality of legs, is mounted to one of the platforms to support the two platforms and legs connected therebetween. A vibration isolator is disposed between the base legs and the floor or other support on which the entire system is mounted.
