Device and method for processing a gas turbine component

2:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• the movement about and/or along the external axis is controlled by the control device.

3:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• the subspace corresponds to a sectional surface of the component.

4:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• the subregion or the subspace corresponds to at most 50% of the corresponding work envelope.

5:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• the subregion or the subspace corresponds to a discrete value within the corresponding work envelope.

6:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• the limited movement comprises at least one limited rotational movement about the at least one limited axis.

7:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• the limited axis comprises at least one vertical axis.

8:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
• component-specific subspaces are stored on a data carrier.

9:

• The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising
• a protective gas apparatus,
• the protective gas apparatus being configured such that its protective effect is limited to the subspace.

10:

• A method for repairing a component, wherein
• the repair is carried out using the apparatus according to claim 1.

11:

• The method according to claim 10, wherein
• a processing point on the component is moved within a workspace into a predefined subspace by a movement along and/or about the external axis, and
• the processing point is then processed by the processing tool that is moved within the subspace.

12:

• The method according to claim 10, wherein
• the subspace is formed by a sectional surface of the component, and
• during processing, the processing tool is only moved in the plane of the sectional surface.
