The invention relates to a compressed gas-operated apparatus, which comprises a tool unit and a receiving unit for accommodating the tool unit, wherein the tool unit comprises a stator and a rotor that is rotatingly drivable about a rotational axis relative to the stator while being applied with compressed gas, wherein the tool unit is deflectable relative to the receiving unit from a starting position that is predeterminable by means of the receiving unit into one or more deflection positions. In order to provide a compressed gas-operated apparatus of that type, with which an increased process security can be ensured, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the apparatus comprises a sensor device for determining a deflection state of the tool unit relative to the receiving unit. The invention also relates to a compressed gas machining system.
A compressed gas-operated apparatus comprising a tool unit and a receiving unit for accommodating the tool unit, the tool unit comprising a stator and a rotor that is rotatingly drivable about a rotational axis relative to the stator while being applied with compressed gas, the tool unit being deflectable relative to the receiving unit from a starting position that is predeterminable by means of the receiving unit into one or more deflection positions, wherein the apparatus comprises a sensor device for determining a deflection state of the tool unit relative to the receiving unit, wherein a deflection position and a deflection direction of the tool unit relative to the receiving unit is determinable by means of the sensor device, wherein a rotational speed of the rotor relative to the stator is determinable by means of the sensor device, and wherein the apparatus comprises a storage device for storing at least one of a deflection state determined by the sensor device and a rotational speed determined by the sensor device.
A compressed gas machining system, comprising a compressed gas-operated apparatus and a holding device being at least one of moveably configured and controlled, the apparatus comprising a tool unit and a receiving unit for accommodating the tool unit and being held on the holding device by way of the receiving unit, wherein the tool unit comprises a stator and a rotor that is rotatingly drivable about a rotational axis relative to the stator while being applied with compressed gas, wherein the tool unit is deflectable relative to the receiving unit from a starting position that is predeterminable by means of the receiving unit into one or more deflection positions, and wherein the apparatus comprises a sensor device for determining a deflection state of the tool unit relative to the receiving unit, wherein a deflection position and a deflection direction of the tool unit relative to the receiving unit is determinable by means of the sensor device, wherein a rotational speed of the rotor relative to the stator is determinable by means of the sensor device, and wherein the apparatus comprises a storage device for storing at least one of a deflection state determined by the sensor device and a rotational speed determined by the sensor device.
