Machine tool e.g. welding robot, indexing method, involves drilling hole through hole of base plate, using piercing tool introduced into hollow sleeve, and introducing positioning unit in drilling to be indexed in position

摘要

The method involves positioning a machine-tool e.g. welding robot, on the ground. A hole (112) is drilled through a hole (106) of a base plate (102) to extend into the ground using a piercing tool introduced into a hollow sleeve (104). A positioning unit (107) is introduced in the drilling to be indexed in a position. The positioning unit is then fixed in the hole (112). An independent claim is also included for a machine stand.
