  • Publication number: 20200384641
    Abstract: A processing device with a processing head including a processing unit designed as a tool and/or applicator unit, in particular a printer unit, and a first positioning device for moving the processing head in order to position the processing unit with a first accuracy at a specified processing position. The processing head has a second positioning device and the processing device is adapted to position the processing unit at the specified processing position with a second accuracy using the second positioning device, the second accuracy being higher than the first accuracy, so that the lower accuracy of the first positioning device is compensated for by the positioning with the second positioning device.

  • Patent number: 10729299
    Abstract: A suction device, having a suction unit for generating a suction flow and having a suction-device housing, in which a dirt-collecting chamber is arranged, which has a suction inlet and is flow-connected to the suction unit via at least one filter and a suction-extraction channel arrangement, wherein at least one external-air inlet, which can be closed by an external-air valve, is arranged on the suction-extraction channel arrangement between the filter and the suction unit, wherein the external-air valve has an external-air-valve body for closing the external-air inlet, which external-air-valve body can be moved, by movement of an actuating element along an actuation path. A transmission is arranged between the actuating element and the external-air-valve body, which transmission enables movement of the actuating element.
