Abstract

A control process for an at least partially axially hammering and rotating electric hand-held machine tool ( 1 ) in which an electromagnetic clutch ( 4 ) arranged in the flow of force between an electric motor ( 2 ) and a tool receptacle ( 3 ) is controllably connected to computing device ( 5 ) connected to sensors ( 6 a , 6 b , 6 c ), wherein the clutch ( 4 ) is repeatedly alternately opened and closed in at least one process step controlled by the computing device ( 5 ).

Claims (5)

1. A control process for an at least partially axially hammering and rotating electric hand-held machine tool ( 1 ) wherein an electromagnetic clutch ( 4 ) arranged in the flow of force between an electric motor ( 2 ) and a tool receptacle ( 3 ) is controllably connected to computing means ( 5 ) connected to at least one sensor ( 6 a , 6 b , 6 c ), wherein the clutch ( 4 ) is repeatedly alternately opened and closed in at least one process step controlled by the computing means ( 5 ).

2. The control process of claim 1 , wherein the clutch ( 4 ) is alternately opened and closed at a frequency between 20 Hz and 100 Hz in the process step.

3. The control process of claim 1 , wherein the process step is initiated in the event of an impending tool blockage detected by the computing means ( 5 ) via the sensor ( 6 a , 6 b , 6 c ), with respect to one of a rotation of a housing ( 7 ) of the electric hand-held machine tool ( 1 ), slippage of the clutch ( 4 ), and detection of metal.

4. The control process of claim 1 , wherein the process step can be initiated manually by a switch ( 8 ) that is connected to the computing means ( 5 ) and that can be actuated manually.

5. An electric hand-held machine tool with an at least partially axially hammering and rotating driving means of a tool receptacle ( 3 ) wherein an electromagnetic clutch ( 4 ) that is controllably connected to computing means ( 5 ) connected to at least one sensor ( 6 a , 6 b , 6 c ) is arranged in the flow of force between an electric motor ( 2 ) and a tool receptacle ( 3 ), wherein the electromagnetic clutch ( 4 ) is controllable by computing means ( 5 ) using a control process wherein the clutch ( 4 ) is repeatedly alternately opened and closed in at least one process step controlled by the computing means ( 5 ).
