Woodworking machine with linear direct drive

a, b, a, ba, ba, b, a, ba, bThe aim of the invention is to provide a robust, simple woodworking machine. To achieve this, the invention provides a machine comprising at least one linear direct drive, which contains a primary part with a first element for generating a first magnetic field and at least one additional element for generating an additional magnetic field. The first element for generating the first magnetic field is positioned, in particular, in such a way in relation to the additional element for generating the additional magnetic field that the first magnetic field overlaps the additional magnetic field. The machine also comprises a secondary part, which comprises magnetic return elements and is devoid of magnetic sources. According to the invention, the primary part and/or the secondary part is or are suitable for guiding or placing at least one workpiece and/or for guiding and/or placing at least one tool for machining the workpiece.
