Abstract

A manufacturing method of a head leading member, which is provided in a printing machine including a head for discharging an ink toward a working surface, in order to lead the head in a main travelling direction, and the manufacturing method of a head leading member including: a base member fixing step in which a base member, being like a plate, is fixed to a frame extending in the main travelling direction; a guiding reference surface shaping step in which a surface of the base member, in a state of being fixed to the frame, is so manufactured as to be a plane, being along the main travelling direction, in such a way as to shape a guiding reference surface; and a guide member supporting step in which a guide member for leading the head is set in such a way that the guiding reference surface supports the guide member.

Claims (21)

1. A manufacturing method of a head leading member, which is provided in a printing machine including a head for discharging an ink toward a working surface, in order to lead the head in a main travelling direction, and the manufacturing method of a head leading member comprising:

a base member fixing step in which a base member, being like a plate, is fixed to a frame extending in the main travelling direction;

a guiding reference surface shaping step in which a surface of the base member, in a state of being fixed to the frame, is so manufactured as to be a plane, being along the main travelling direction, in such a way as to shape a guiding reference surface; and

a guide member supporting step in which a guide member for leading the head is set in such a way that the guiding reference surface supports the guide member.

2. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 1 , wherein the guiding reference surface is shaped by way of a cutting process in the guiding reference surface shaping step.

3. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 2 , wherein

the frame is shaped by way of a bending process for a metal plate.

4. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 3 , wherein

the guide member is fixed to the frame, by use of a fixing member, provided so as to pass through the base member.

5. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 2 , wherein

the guide member is fixed to the frame, by use of a fixing member, provided so as to pass through the base member.

6. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame is shaped by way of a bending process for a metal plate.

7. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 6 , wherein

the guide member is fixed to the frame, by use of a fixing member, provided so as to pass through the base member.

8. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of the base members is provided;

the base members are placed, having a clearance at intervals, in the main travelling direction; and

the guide member is placed so as to stride over the plurality of base members.

9. The manufacturing method of a head leading member according to claim 1 , wherein

the guide member is fixed to the frame, by use of a fixing member, provided so as to pass through the base member.
