The invention relates to a method for transporting a product (), wherein a carrier () is used for receiving and carrying the product (), at least one variable is detected that is representative for a moving state of the carrier () and thus, the moving state of the carrier () with or without product (), prior to, during, and/or after a transport process of the carrier (), (a) from a variable representative of a change in the moving state of the carrier (), and/or (b) from a variable representative for a means for reaching and/or maintaining a moving state of the carrier () with or without product (), the mass of the product () is determined.

Method for transporting a material, multi-dimensional drive, and processing device

A method of controlling a linear motion system has a linear synchronous motor comprising a stator and at least two carrier units moveable in relation to the stator, the stator comprising a number of coil units, each of the at least two carrier units comprising a magnetic unit including an array of alternate-pole magnets having a regular magnet pole-pitch, wherein in order to form a train the at least two carrier units are arranged relative to each other so that the mutual distance between two identically poled magnets of two different magnetic units is an integer multiple of the magnet pole-pitch.
