Abstract
A medical device has a device component that is connected to a mount, which includes elements that can be moved relative to one another in a motorized fashion, and a control and computing unit which controls the motorized relative movements of the elements. A position identification arrangement is allocated to the control and computing unit which supplies signals to permit determination by the control and computing unit of lines in space with different directions, along which the device component can be moved in a motorized fashion, at least indirectly, by the mount.
