Publication number: 20230132956Abstract: The disclosure relates to a transport system including two flat transport devices which are arranged perpendicularly to each other. Each transport device has a stator, along the plane of which at least one carrier can be moved. At least one support is provided for receiving a payload. The support can be brought into form-fitting engagement with the horizontal carrier via a first engagement means and into form-fitting engagement with the vertical carrier via a second engagement means. The two form-fitting engagements are designed such that the support is supported against each carrier against the force of gravity and is prevented from horizontally moving or rotating, and the support is transferred between the two transport devices only by means of the aforementioned movement functions of the two pertinent carriers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventor: Martin Reinisch
