Abstract
A lithographic apparatus comprises an object table for receiving an object, an actuator for moving the object table and a handler for transferring the object to or from the object table. The apparatus is provided with a controller operable connected with the actuator and/or the handler. The controller is programmed and/or arranged to drive the actuator and the handler so as to provide that the object table and the handler substantially follow each other in a direction perpendicular to a transfer direction during transfer in the transfer direction of the object to or from the object table.
