Abstract
The invention relates to a method for processing a planar objectwith the aid of a planar drive system, wherein the planar drive systemcomprises at least a stator assemblyeach comprising a plurality of coil groupsfor generating a stator magnetic field, a stator surfaceabove the stator assembly, and a rotor. The rotorcomprises a plurality of magnet unitsfor generating a rotor magnetic field, wherein the rotoris movable above the stator surfacewith the aid of an interaction of the stator magnetic field with the rotor magnetic field in a first directionand/or a second directionparallel to the stator surfaceand/or is movable in a third directionperpendicular to the stator surface, wherein a toolis arranged at the rotor, wherein the planar objectis arranged between the stator surfaceand the rotor, with the following steps:
