The workstation has a patient support device (2) comprising a patient table (8) and a robot (31). A master control device (23) activates a slave control device (33) such that the slave control device moves into a robot arm (32) during motion of an attaching device (25) of another robot (21). The slave control device executes another motion for another attaching device (34) of the former robot. The patient table and an imaging medical apparatus (RE, RQ) i.e. X-ray device, are oriented relative to each other in a constant manner based on the latter motion of the slave control device.
