Abstract

A hand-held power tool for machining a workpiece, comprising a drive motor, a tool holder, which can be driven by the drive motor, and which is for a working tool for machining the workpiece, and a guide element having a guide surface for guiding the hand-held power tool on the workpiece in a working direction, wherein the tool holder is mounted via a bearing arrangement such that it moves relative to the guide element and the tool holder can be driven by a servo motor arrangement, wherein the hand-held power tool can be swivelled via the bearing arrangement about at least one adjusting swivel axis passing through the guide surface at an angle, in particular at a right angle, for the relative adjustment of the tool holder relative to the guide element, wherein the hand-held power tool has a control device for controlling the servo motor arrangement.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hand-held power tool for machining a workpiece, the power tool comprising:
a drive motor,
a tool holder drivable by the drive motor, and the tool holder being for a working tool for machining the workpiece, and
a guide element having a guide surface, the guide surface guiding the hand-held power tool on the workpiece in a working direction along which the working tool is moved to machine the workpiece,
wherein the tool holder is mounted via a bearing arrangement such that the tool holder moves relative to the guide element and said tool holder is drivable by a servo motor arrangement, wherein the hand-held power tool is configured to be swivelled via the bearing arrangement about at least one adjusting swivel axis passing through the guide surface at an angle, for relative adjustment of the tool holder relative to the guide element, wherein the bearing arrangement comprises at least two linear bearings with each of the linear bearings having a bearing linear axis, and each of the bearing linear axes is oriented transversely to the working direction,
wherein the hand-held power tool has a control device for controlling the servo motor arrangement, the control device adjusting a position of the tool holder relative to the guide element and maintaining a swivel position relative to the at least one adjusting swivel axis; and
wherein the control device adjusts the tool holder relative to the guide element wherein the tool holder maintains an angular position relative to the working direction when the tool holder is adjusted relative to the guide element transversely to the working direction.

2. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one operating handle for adjusting the guide element in the working direction or against the working direction, wherein the servo motor arrangement and the bearing arrangement are arranged between the tool holder and the at least one operating handle.

3. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the working tool includes a cutting tool with a flat shape, and the drive motor is configured for rotatably driving the tool holder.

4. The hand-held power tool according to claim 3 , wherein the control device controls the servo motor arrangement for a parallel movement of the cutting tool relative to the guide element in a plane parallel to a flat side of the cutting tool.

5. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to adjust the tool holder relative to the guide element in such a way that the tool holder maintains the angular position relative to an at least two-dimensional coordinates system, the at least two-dimensional coordinates system being independent of a workpiece marker provided on the workpiece.

6. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting swivel axis is not stationary relative to the guide element.

7. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the servo motor arrangement comprises a first servo motor and a second servo motor.

8. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the servo motor arrangement includes at least one linear drive.

9. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising a display device for displaying an actual position, set by the servo motor arrangement, of the tool holder and/or of the working tool arranged on the tool holder and/or for displaying a target position, to be set by the servo motor arrangement, of the tool holder and/or of the working tool arranged on the tool holder.

10. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the servo motor arrangement and/or the bearing arrangement does not project laterally in front of the guide surface of the guide element.

11. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing arrangement comprises three rotary bearings.

12. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the tool holder is provided on a drive unit of the hand-held power tool comprising the drive motor and the drive unit is mounted movably relative to the guide element via the bearing arrangement.
