Abstract: A displaceable carriage (10) and a linear guide for guiding the carriage, which includes a first guide path slideway (13, 31) and a second guide path slideway (32). To form the first slideway (13, 31), the carriage (10) includes at least one pocket (13), which slides along the first guide path part (31) and can hold lubricant under pressure to create a relieving force on the carriage (10). The second guide path part (32) includes an island-shaped surface to create a frictional force on the carriage (10). A pressure medium held in the at least one pocket (13, 14, 15) creates the relieving force, whereby the first slideway (13, 31) relieves the load on the second slideway (11a, 12a, 12b, 32).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a machine tool, such as a grinding machine, and to a method for measuring a workpiece in a machine tool. The machine tool may comprise a workpiece mount (14), a tool unit (28), a measuring device (48) and a control device (56) that is connectable to the measuring device (48) and the tool unit (28), wherein the measuring device (48) is received at the tool unit (28) and comprises at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68), wherein the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68) is received at a support piece (80) that provides a plurality of defined predetermined locations for the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68), and wherein the control device (56) is arranged to detect signals that are triggered by the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68) when touching a workpiece (96), and to determine on the basis of an actual location of the tool unit (28) an actual position of the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68).

Abstract: The positioning device includes at least one displaceable carriage, liquid slide bearings on which the carriage is displaceable, and a carriage drive. The latter includes a first linear motor including a first primary part and a first secondary part that is opposite thereto and located in a first plane, and a second linear motor including a second primary part and a second secondary part that is opposite thereto and located in a second plane. The two linear motors are arranged in inclined positions such that the two planes are different and form an intersecting angle.

Abstract: The positioning device comprises at least one displaceable carriage (10), liquid slide bearings (12a, 16a; 12b, 16b) on which the carriage is displaceable, and a carriage drive. The latter comprises a first linear motor comprising a first primary part (20a) and a first secondary part (21a) that is opposite thereto and located in a first plane (19a), and a second linear motor comprising a second primary part (20b) and a second secondary part (21b) that is opposite thereto and located in a second plane (19b). The two linear motors are arranged in inclined positions such that the two planes are different and form an intersecting angle.
