Abstract

Guide device for shuttles of a planar motor has a first end and a second end and defines a pose course of a shuttle between the first and second end. The first end, which defines an introductory pose of the shuttle, is arrangeable on a first stator of the planar motor so that the introductory pose corresponds to an operationally controllable pose in relation to the first stator. The second end, which defines an exit pose of the shuttle, is arrangeable on the first stator or a second stator of the planar motor so that the exit pose corresponds to an operationally controllable pose with respect to the first or second stator. The pose course includes at least one pose which is an operationally non-controllable pose with respect to stators of the planar motor. The guide device supports and stabilizes the shuttle in the at least one operationally non-controllable pose.
