Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a machining station for machining platelike workpieces (1) by means of at least one tool, in particular a drilling station for machining at least one circuit board, as well as to a method for controlling or identifying a platelike workpiece (1). The machining station has at least one X-ray radiation source (3), at least one detector (4) and a table (2) that can be positioned between the X-ray radiation source (3) and the detector (4), on which the workpiece (1) to be machined can be fastened. The table (2) has a receiving plate (6) made out of a material permeable to X-rays (5), in particular a plastic. The receiving plate (6) has at least one suction port (11) for extracting air and a distribution grid, which is connected in terms of flow with the at least one suction port (11) and consists of several channels (10) unilaterally open in a support surface (9) with beveled and/or rounded edges (13) and/or of inclinedly running through openings (14).

Abstract: An automated machine tool with a workpiece carrier for receiving a printed circuit board, at least one drilling station for processing printed circuit boards, and a mechanism for sequentially applying individual printed circuit boards onto the workpiece carrier and for removing printed circuit boards from the workpiece carrier.

Abstract: The invention concerns an automated machine tool with a workpiece carrier (1) for receiving a printed circuit board (3, 3?), at least one drilling station (8) for processing printed circuit boards, as well as a mechanism for sequentially applying individual printed circuit boards (3, 3?) onto the workpiece carrier (1) and for removing printed circuit boards from the workpiece carrier. Further, the invention concerns a method for drilling reference bores into printed circuit boards (3, 3?).
