Device for processing a component, carriage for the device, and method for operating the device

An apparatus for processing a component, comprising:

• a travel carriage with
• a frame defining along a longitudinal direction a translation axis along which the travel carriage is translationally movable forwards and backwards,
• a bogie which relative to the frame about a rotation axis is rotatably connected to the frame and to which the component is attachable,
• a first translation-permanent magnet device which is attached to the frame and which has permanent magnets arranged along the longitudinal direction,
• a rotation-permanent magnet device which is mounted on the bogie, defines a circumferential direction extending around the rotation axis, and has permanent magnets arranged along this circumferential direction, and
• a carriage-side longitudinal guide device which is attached to the frame,
• a stationary travel carriage guiding device which has a guide device-side longitudinal guide means which is complementary to the carriage-side longitudinal guide means and by means of which the travel carriage is guided translationally,
• a first translation-electromagnet device mounted on the travel carriage guide device and having electromagnets arranged along the longitudinal direction which magnetically cooperate with the permanent magnets of the first translation-permanent magnet device;
• a first rotation-electromagnet device mounted on the travel carriage guide device and having electromagnets arranged along the longitudinal direction which magnetically interact with the permanent magnets of the rotation-permanent magnet device, and
• a controller, which is connected to the first translation-electromagnet device and to the first rotation-electromagnet device for activating the electromagnets thereof, to follow the translational movement of the travel carriage along the translation axis by means of the magnetic interaction of the electromagnets of the first translation-electromagnet device with the permanent magnets of the first translation-permanent magnet device to control the rotational movement of the bogie about the axis of rotation by means of the magnetic interaction of the electromagnets of the first rotation-electromagnet device with the permanent magnets of the rotation-permanent magnet device.
