A first link arranged lengthwise on the first strip has a higher bending/flexural strength than the first strip, the first link specifically not serving for the supplying of, or the control/drive of, the processing- or inspection head (171), the supply line being a hose, a capillary, an electrical line or an optical glass-fibre.
