A conveying device includes a transport body configured to carry or hold a wafer, and a stator relative to which the conveying device is designed to move the transport body at least two-dimensionally on a conveying surface. The stator includes several movably arranged actuating magnets, each of which is connected to the stator via an actuating element, and the actuating element is configured to change a position and/or an orientation of the connected actuating magnets relative to the stator. The transport body includes at least two stationary magnets which are connected to the transport body such that the stationary magnets are immovable relative to the transport body, and the stator and the transport body are magnetically coupled by the stationary magnets and the actuating magnets. The device conveys the transport body relative to the stator by controlled positioning and/or orientation of the actuating magnets via the actuating elements.

Conveying device for conveying at least one wafer

A transport system and a system for moving permanent-magnet-excited transport bodies by an inductively excited magnetic field includes induction coils, a movably supported first reluctance element, and an actuator. The induction coils are configured for a current to flow through the induction coils in order to drive the transport bodies in a plane without contact. The actuator is configured to bring the first reluctance element from a first position into a second position. The permanent magnetic field of a transport body located over the first reluctance element experiences a lower magnetic resistance in a magnetic circuit through the first reluctance element in the second position than in the first position.

Safety system for an assembly for moving transport bodies

The invention relates to a conveying arrangement comprising at least one mover () which has at least one magnet (), preferably a permanent magnet, and cooperates with a drive surface () so that the mover () can be slidably and/or rotatably moved with respect to the drive surface () in at least two degrees of freedom, at least one protective device () being provided and arranged between the drive surface () and the mover ().

Conveying arrangement

An electromagnet-operated conveying device includes a movable conveying element, at least one permanent magnet, and a cleaning device. The at least one permanent magnet is arranged on the conveying element for the onward movement of the conveying element. The cleaning device is configured to remove particles from a surface of the at least one permanent magnet.
