Abstract
Abstract A work station for orientation of a workpiece is described, the work station including a substantially plane mounting table (24) for the mounting thereon of a workpiece. The table (24) is adapted to perform a rotary movement about an axis perpendicular to its plane, and a translatory movement in a plane co-planar with its own plane. Drive means (28,30,32,34) effects the rotary and the translatory movement, an imaging axis parallel to the axis of rotation being located in the plane defined by the translatorv movement performable by the axis of rotation as part of the table (24). Any location on the workpiece can be brought into alignment with the imaging axis by at least one of the movements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A work station for orientation of a workpiece, comprising: a substantially plane mounting cable (24) for the mounting thereon of a workpiece, said table being adapted to perform a rotary movement about an axis perpendicular to its plane, and a translatory movement in a plane co-planar with its own plane; drive means (28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42) for effecting said rotary and said translatory movement, and an imaging axis parallel to said axis of rotation and located in the plane defined by the translatory movement performable by said axis of rotation as part of said table (24), wherein, by at least one of said two movements, any location on said workpiece can be brought into alignment with said imaging axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A work station for orientation of a workpiece, comprising: a substantially plane mounting cable (24) for the mounting thereon of a workpiece, said table being adapted to perform a rotary movement about an axis perpendicular to its plane, and a translatory movement in a plane co-planar with its own plane; drive means (28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42) for effecting said rotary and said translatory movement, and an imaging axis parallel to said axis of rotation and located in the plane defined by the translatory movement performable by said axis of rotation as part of said table (24), wherein, by at least one of said two movements, any location on said workpiece can be brought into alignment with said imaging axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The work station as claimed in claim 1, wherein said imaging axis constitutes at least a portion of an imaging means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The work station as claimed in claim 2, wherein said imaging means is a video camera (44).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
