Abstract
A positioning unit includes two control carriages and a work carriage, it being possible to move the two control carriages and the work carriage on tracks that extend in parallel with one another. There is a working arm being articulated on a work base point on the work carriage and a control arm being articulated on a control base point on each of the control carriages. The control arms are articulated on the working arm at a control point of the working arm, the control point being spaced apart at a predefined lambda distance (d) from an end of the working arm that forms a working-point end and faces away from the work base point, and the two control base points and the work base point defining a triangle. At least two carriages of the two control carriages and the work carriage are movably arranged on a shared guide.

A positioning unit (1, 101, 201, 301) comprising two control carriages (2, 3, 202, 203, 502) and a work carriage (4, 204, 304, 404),
- the two control carriages (2, 3, 202, 203, 502) and the work carriage (4, 204, 304, 404) being configured to be movable on tracks that extend in parallel with one another,
- a working arm (5, 305, 405) being articulated on a work base point (8, 308) on the work carriage (4, 204, 304, 404) and a control arm (6, 7) being articulated on a control base point (9, 10) on each of the control carriages (2, 3, 202, 203, 502),
- the control arms (6, 7) being articulated on the working arm (5, 305, 405) at a control point (11) of said working arm, the control point (11) being spaced apart at a predefined lambda distance (d) from an end of the working arm (5, 305, 405) that forms a working-point end (12) and faces away from the work base point (8, 308), and
- the two control base points (9, 10) and the work base point (8, 308) defining a triangle,
- wherein
- at least two carriages of the two control carriages (2, 3, 202, 203, 502) and the work carriage (4, 204, 304, 404) are movably arranged on a shared guide (13, 213, 513).
