A device for moving a working tool including a support structure provided with a first and a second rectilinear guide, a first and a second support trolley, a first and a second support arm joined to each other and compass-articulated and pivoted respectively on the first and second trolley. The first support arm includes a first element and a second element that are parallel to each other and of equal length, each having a first end rotatably hinged on a respective first and second part projecting from the first trolley and a second end rotatably hinged on connecting brackets between the second ends, in such a way that the connection axis between the first ends and the connection axis of the second ends are parallel to the aforementioned longitudinal axis in any working condition.

A track control apparatus includes an interpolation/acceleration and deceleration calculating unit that interpolates a commanded route and calculates a post-acceleration and deceleration interpolation route, an axis distributing unit that generates a position command for each movable axis from the post-acceleration and deceleration interpolation route, a servo-response calculating unit that calculates a servo response to the position command, a tangential-direction-servo-response calculating unit that obtains a tangential direction servo response from the post-acceleration and deceleration interpolation route, a reference-point generating unit that obtains a reference point from the tangential direction servo response, a position-vector correcting unit that corrects the position command for each movable axis to output a post-correction position command for each movable axis, and a servo control unit that outputs motor driving torque such that each movable axis follows the corresponding post-correction position command.

A positioning device to position, during in vehicle construction, a vehicle body component having at least one locating bore. The positioning device includes a locating pin having a conical end designed to be guided axially through a locating bore of the vehicle body component to centre and position the vehicle body component. The locating pin is mounted in a radially floating manner.

A roller guide wheel contains a single set of spherical bearings and is constructed with a precision outer race machined into the guide wheel interior and an inner race formed by the surfaces of two conically-tapered set screws that affix the roller guide wheel within a housing made part of a stage slider. The roller guide wheel, which contacts a rail on one side of the stage body and exhibits a non-nutating axis of rotation, serves as way for the translating slider. The way on the opposing side of the slider is a set of v-groove contacts that make sliding contact with a rail on the corresponding side of the stage body. A flexure is machined into the slider permitting preload of the slider contacts points with the rails. The stage geometry permits a large slider through-hole and the use of alternative way mechanisms with the roller guide wheel.
