Claims17
An apparatus for processing a workpiece with ultrasound, comprising
- a base frame;
- a slide that is linearly displaceable on the base frame;
- a tool holder that is movable relative to the slide and that is connected to the slide via two parallel leaf springs;
- and
- a lifting device that is arranged between the base frame and the tool holder and that causes a lifting movement of the tool holder relative to the slide, wherein
- with the lifting device, both the slide can be moved relative to the base frame and, when the slide is fixed, the tool holder can be moved relative to the slide.

A method for processing a workpiece using an apparatus, the apparatus comprising a base frame;
- a slide that is linearly displaceable on the base frame;
- a tool holder that is movable relative to the slide and that is connected to the slide via two parallel leaf springs;
- and a lifting device that is arranged between the base frame and the tool holder and that causes a lifting movement of the tool holder relative to the slide, wherein with the lifting device, both the slide can be moved relative to the base frame and, when the slide is fixed, the tool holder can be moved relative to the slide, wherein
- a) the slide is first moved by a feeding stroke by the lifting device,
- b) the slide is then stopped, and
- c) the tool holder is moved relative to the slide by the lifting device when the slide is stopped.
