Abstract
The invention relates to a processing apparatus, a “process bench”, for processing a workpiece transported on a work carrier, having a base module and at least one process module which can be inserted into the base module at a point within an accommodating region. Each process module processes, assembles or tests workpieces, for example also pharmaceutical and medico-technical products. The processing apparatus is characterized in that the base module comprises a support device which is designed to accommodate process modules or functional modules at any desired point or at a multiplicity of predetermined points within the accommodating region.
