The invention relates to an adjusting device for spatially adjusting the position of an object, comprising a plurality of plate elements which are arranged one over the other and which have radial guide structures that engage into one another at mutually facing sides, wherein at least one pair of movement plates and a pair of inclination plates are arranged on a base. The movement plates have a constant thickness, and the respective upper radial guide structures and lower radial guide structures of each movement plate are offset eccentrically relative to one another. The inclination plates have a variable thickness, and the respective upper radial guide structures and lower radial guide structures of each inclination plate are arranged concentrically to one another.

A hydrostatic linear guideway includes a rail, a slider coupled to the rail, and two load blocks disposed between the rail and the slider. A load portion of each load block is spaced from the groove wall of an outer groove of the rail and has an oil chamber facing toward the groove wall of one respective outer groove of the rail, such that an oil film is formed between the rail and each load block. A bearing portion of each load block is abutted against the groove wall of an inner groove of the slider so that the two load blocks are moved synchronously with the slider. Thus, the hydrostatic linear guideway of the present invention has the oil chamber defined in each load block and does not require additional processing of the slider, achieving the purpose of reducing the difficulty of the manufacturing process.

For a turning machine (1) that can be used for rotary turning, the tool holder (20) is hydrostatically mounted. A method corresponding to this is described, and it is provided to use a hydrostatic bearing (8, 9) for the damping of mechanical vibrations of a tool holder (20) and/or for the permanent mounting of a tool holder (20) of a turning machine (1).

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).

A device for treating or acting on workpiece surfaces by means of an actuator, such as a cutting or engraving laser or a nozzle for applying oils, paints, adhesives, dyes, or etchants is disclosed. An ultrasonic levitation force field is generated by means of a sonotrode, which is coupled to the actuator into a working unit, such that the movably suspended working unit is supported on the workpiece surface in a hovering manner. The ultrasonic levitation force field allows a highly precise positioning of the working unit relative to the workpiece surface so as to allow a precise treatment or machining of the workpiece surface.
