Rotationally driven support unit, particularly rotating drum unit, for use in body-making for motor vehicles, has support body rotatably supported on supporting structure, where support body has multiple support sides for receiving tool

摘要

The rotationally driven support unit (1) has support body (2) rotatably supported on a supporting structure. The support body has multiple support sides (20) for receiving a tool or a work piece to be processed. The support sides extend parallel to rotational axis and are distributed over the periphery of the support body. The support body is rotationally driven by a drive device (6) such that a support side is displaced in a predetermined working position. A unit is provided for storing of brake energy emerging during a braking process to brake the accelerated support body.
