Abstract: A table top broach machine comprising a table top; at least one support member positioned below and mounted to the table top; a drive mechanism operatively connected to at least one sealed drive spindle. The drive mechanism is positioned below the table top and configured to attach to at least one of the table top and the support member; and a base is positioned below and connected to the support member. The base is in fluid communication with and positioned below the table top.
Abstract: A linear blind broaching machine (10) includes a base (22), a broaching ram assembly (24), a linear tool slide (26) supported on the base by linear antifriction bearings (90) and a support block (92) mounted between the base and the linear tool slide below a broaching ram of the broaching ram assembly to provide support to the linear tool slide during blind broaching. The linear tool slide has an elongated construction including an elongated positioning block (114) against which blind broaches are laterally positioned, and an electric servomotor (108) drives the linear tool slide (26) to provide indexing thereof between broaching movements of the broaching ram. A roller screw drive (54) driven by an electric servomotor (56) drives a broaching ram (44) supported by linear antifriction bearings 46.
