Abstract

The invention relates to a method of producing a support (1) in the form of a prismatic hollow body and a support. The walls of the support (1) are formed by assembling top belt modules (2), bottom belt modules (3), front wall modules (4) and rear wall modules (5) respectively one after the other in the longitudinal direction of the support. Disposed in the interior of the support (1) at distances apart are transverse webs (6) and at least one guide track (7, 9) is provided on the support (1) extending in its longitudinal direction for a unit mounted so that it can move along the guide track. In order to obtain a high precision of the guide tracks (6, 7), the latter are formed by machining regions of the modules (2, 3, 4, 5) to remove material after the modules und transverse webs have been assembled.
