ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for carrying, positioning and operating relatively unwieldy machine tools, such as heavy multiple-head drilling assemblies, upon massive flanged work-pieces, such as structural members for bridges, in order to more efficiently perform required operations upon the work-pieces, such as the pre-drilling of girders and their associated splice plates in a fabrication yard prior to field erection of the structure into which they will be assembled. The tool-carrying apparatus utilizes the work-piece itself as a supporting track and is provided with self-contained mechanism for propelling the apparatus to successively desired positions along the work-piece, with self-contained mechanism for releasably securing the apparatus in a desired position upon the work-piece, with self-contained mechanism for adjusting the tool vertically or/and tiltably relative to the work-piece, and with self-contained mechanism for shifting the tool toward and away from the work-piece, as well as self-contained mechanism for operating the tool itself.
