Abstract
A method for machining components ( ) which do not contain magnetic material is provided. The method comprises placing the component ( ) on at least one clamping magnet arranged on a machining table, whereby at least one clamping element ( ) in a magnetic material is arranged on that side of the component ( ) which faces the clamping magnet. The clamping element ( ) is activated by and cooperates with the clamping magnet to fix the component ( ) in its position. The technical problem of improving the effectiveness of the material throughput of the method and reducing the space requirements of the device for carrying out the method is solved by having the clamping element match the form of the component ( ). The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method.
