The present apparatus includes a device for the mounting of the functional elements, characterized in that the device has apparatus for keeping the functional elements constantly in their operative position in relation to their workpiece section presently to be processed on the processing path by altering their position during a relative displacement with any desired change of direction. A method for tracing a processing path is also provided. The method includes tracing a processing path by a plurality of functional units arranged in succession one behind another in the path direction and moved along the path. The functional units are aligned on the path independently of each other by positioning means individually assigned to them.
