Abstract
A portal type coordinate measuring machine includes a column on each side of a measuring table which is movable by a synchronous belt drive connected to each column. A drive motor is centrally mounted on a bridge portion overlying the columns and it drives a horizontal shaft which extends to each column and effects the rotation of a drive pinion which engages a gear belt which extends parallel to each column and is carried by the column. The drive includes a toothed belt or gear belt which is disposed parallel to the guiding ways for the columns and has its ends firmly clamped on the bridge and an active central portion which extends around a drive pinion which is tensioned on respective sides of the drive pinion by tension rolls.
