Abstract: A jig that allows a user to register a digital design to features on the jig such that a tool with image-based positioning capability, based on the features, can accurately perform a task on a workpiece based on the digital design. The jig may include elements to allow a user to accurately align the jig relative to features, such as corners or edges, of the workpiece. When working with workpieces having a similar geometry, the jig may be moved from one workpiece to the next to allow the user to perform different tasks, using different digital designs, without needing to reconfigure the jig or perform additional set-up on each new workpiece.

Abstract: A hand-held machine tool, in particular a sanding machine, including a rod-type handle element for the user to grip and a processing head which is moveably mounted on the handle element by means of a joint assembly. The processing head has an electric drive motor for driving a tool holder provided for holding a processing tool and a speed-reducing gearbox between the drive motor and the tool holder, the gearbox being designed to achieve a reduction in speed of an output of the drive motor relative to a speed of the tool holder. The drive motor is a brushless motor and a power supply system for the drive motor is arranged at a distance from the drive motor on the handle element, the power supply system being connected to the drive motor by means of a cable arrangement.

Abstract: Workstation for performing a task on a workpiece using a tool. Some implementations of the invention allow an adjustable shelf to be used to position a workpiece on the workstation. Some implementations of the invention include a support bar for partially supporting a tool as the task is performed on a workpiece coupled to the workstation. Some implementations of the invention allow a workpiece to be positioned at a reference location or orientation relative to the workstation. Some implementations of the invention allow a tool to perform an action based on determining the position of the tool relative to the workstation using computer vision techniques to analyze a feature of the workstation.

Abstract: A hand-held machine tool, in particular a sanding machine, including a handle element for the user to grip and a processing head which has an electric drive motor for driving a tool holder provided for holding a processing tool, the hand-held machine tool having a power supply system for supplying power to the drive motor by means of a cable arrangement, via which the drive motor and the power supply system are interconnected. A protection circuit including at least one electric disconnector is arranged on the drive motor, in order to disconnect a connection between at least one electric cable of the cable arrangement and a phase of a field coil arrangement of the drive motor, which phase can be supplied with current via the cable.
