Abstract
A portable cross tie end plating machine adapted to drive a nail plate into one end of a tie. The machine is designed to end plate one end of the tie at a time after the end of the tie has been squeezed together to close the cracks therein. The tie is fed onto an infeed table on the machine and is then moved onto a pair of tie transporter arms which lower the tie downwardly into the machine onto stationary platens. A pair of movable platens squeeze one end of the tie together and a nail plate is then driven into the end of the tie by a hydraulic ram. After the nail plate has been driven into the end of the tie, the transporter arms lift the tie upwardly out of the machine and deposit the tie on the outfeed table. The machine is designed to accommodate ties up to eighteen feet in length and to accommmodate ties having various dimensions.
