Abstract:
Device for producing a relative motion with two translational degrees of freedom between a spindle means and a retaining element, said spindle means having a spindle which bears a tool and is attached to a second base part, said retaining element for holding a workpiece and is attached to a first base part, at least one of the two base parts is movable in a straight line with respect to the other along a linear guide with a first translational degree of freedom; and a support for bearing the spindle means, said support is coupled to the second base part to be able to swivel by means of a swivel joint around a swivel axis which is located at right angles to the linear guide, such that the spindle means can be moved by actuating the swivel joint with a second translational degree of freedom on a circular path, wherein the support is made in the manner of a box in order to form a three-dimensional support structure with high stiffness.
