A power tool, in particular a hand-held power tool, including a support section for setting down the power tool on a substrate, in particular on a workpiece and/or a guide element. The power tool has a support detection device and is designed to detect, by the support detection device, a first support state, in which the power tool is supported on the substrate by way of at least one first region of the support surface, and/or a second support state, in which the power tool is not resting on the substrate by way of at least the first region, and to determine an operating state of the power tool on the basis of the detected support state.

Electric tool

A power tool with a rotatable tool designed as a saw blade or a milling cutter, including a sensor device for detecting a mechanical quantity, the mechanical quantity having a force, an acceleration, a velocity, a deflection, a deformation and/or a mechanical stress, and the mechanical quantity being dependent on a force emanating from the tool, and a control device communicatively coupled to the sensor device, which control device is adapted to recognize a kickback event based on the detected mechanical quantity, where the control device is adapted to selectively determine a first recognition function or a second recognition function different from the first recognition function based on a function determination information, and to perform the recognition of the kickback event based on the detected mechanical quantity using the determined recognition function.

Power tool, system, and method

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.

Hand-held power tool having a bearing arrangement

A mobile machine tool including a guide element, having a guide surface, for guiding the machine tool and a workpiece surface of the workpiece to one another along a machining path. The machine tool includes a drive unit having a drive motor for driving a tool receptacle arranged on the drive unit for receiving a work tool and a detection device for detecting at least one workpiece reference which is associated, with respect to a machining path, with a machining start point where the work tool starts the machining of the workpiece or with a machining end point where the work tool ends the machining of the workpiece. The tool receptacle is designed for rotationally driving the work tool about an axis of rotation and for adjusting a penetration depth of the work tool into the workpiece by means of a depth adjustment device between depth adjustment positions.

Hand-held machine tool

A power tool, including a support structure, a pivot bearing arranged on the support structure, a shaft mounted on the support structure via the pivot bearing, a rotatable tool coupled to the shaft, in particular a saw blade, milling cutter or grinding wheel, a strain gauge arrangement for detecting a mechanical quantity which depends on a force emanating from the tool, and a control device which is adapted to recognize an event and/or a state of the power tool according to the detected mechanical quantity. The strain gauge arrangement is arranged on a stationary structure section coupled in a force-transmitting manner to the pivot bearing and is not arranged on the pivot bearing.

Power tool and method

A handheld power tool with a rotatable tool, in which the handheld power tool is a saw blade or milling cutter. The handheld power tool includes a sensor device for detecting a mechanical vector quantity. The mechanical vector quantity includes a force, an acceleration, a velocity, a deflection, a deformation and/or a mechanical stress and the mechanical vector quantity depends on a force emanating from the handheld tool. The handheld power tool also includes a control device which is communicatively coupled to the sensor device and is adapted to recognize an event and/or a state of the power tool according to a direction and/or change of direction of the mechanical vector quantity detected by the sensor device.
