[0029] Tool chassis is frame structure, and the outer frame is closed rectangular, and there are cross beams and vertical beams staggered distribution in the inside, so as to improve overall rigidity and stress uniformity, for example, 2 vertical beams are symmetrically arranged in the middle of the frame, and 6 cross beams are arranged between the frame and the vertical beam, the specific number of vertical beams and cross beams here is not specifically limited. Cross beam, vertical beam and frame include but are not limited to being combined into shape by welding, riveting.
