Abstract: Mecanum wheeled vehicle for transporting a payload, having multiple, mecanum wheel drives (2), in each case including at least one mecanum wheel and at least one electromotive, drive, having control means (13) configured for controlling the mecanum wheel drives (2) for an omnidirectional operation, having a chassis (6), the weight force of which can be supported on a base (U) via the mecanum wheels (3) as well as via support means (6) of the vehicle provided additionally to the mecanum wheels (3), wherein the mecanum wheels (3), together with the assigned drives, are mounted resiliently relative to the chassis using force storage means (4) for limiting the weight force proportion of the chassis (5) to be supported via the mecanum wheels (3) on the base (U) and a possible payload (10) to be carried by the chassis.

Abstract: A mecanum-wheeled vehicle (1), in particular for transporting a load, comprising a chassis (5) extending along a longitudinal axis (L) and a width axis (B) oriented perpendicular to the same, said chassis comprising at least four mecanum wheel drives (2; 2a to 2d) which can be controlled via control means (13) for carrying out an omnidirectional operation of the mecanum-wheeled vehicle (1), wherein the chassis (5) has a first chassis section (21a) with at least two (2a, 2b) of the mecanum wheel drives (2; 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and a second chassis section (21b) with at least two (2c, 2d) of the mecanum wheel drives (2; 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d).

Abstract: A Mecanum wheel having a first wheel rim (2) which bears a multiplicity of rollers (4) which are arranged adjacent to one another in a circumferential direction and which are in each case mounted so as to be rotatable about a roller axis of rotation (38) arranged at an angle with respect to a first wheel rim axis of rotation (24), wherein said Mecanum wheel is characterized by a second wheel rim (3) which can be driven together with the first wheel rim (2) by means of a common drive shaft (33) and which bears a multiplicity of rollers (4) which are arranged adjacent to one another in a circumferential direction and which are in each case mounted so as to be rotatable about a roller axis of rotation (38) arranged at an angle with respect to a second wheel rim axis of rotation (25), which second wheel rim is connected to the first wheel rim (2) via damping means (7) formed so as to permit a limited relative movement of the first and the second rim (3) relative to one another.

Abstract: The tool support comprises a basic structure (8;108) on which a slide (5;105) is movable in a controlled manner transversely to the spindle axis (7;107), two tool holders (6) being mounted on said slide (5;105) which are displaceable parallel to each other and serving to hold different tools (9,9?;109,109?), said holders (6,6?;107,107?) being selectively displaceable in the direction of the spindle axis (7;107) or away from that axis through an angle of 90° with respect to the direction of movement of the slide (5;105), and further comprising driving means (1,2,3,3?;100,102,106,106?,103) to displace the slide (5;105) and the tool holders (6,6?;107,107?) along their axis of movement (Y,Z) into a predetermined working position.
