Abstract

Examples include a processing machine for processing a substrate. At least one alignment segment is arranged before at least one processing unit of the processing machine. The at least one alignment segment includes a plurality of transport sections following one another in the transport direction. The at least one alignment segment includes a dedicated drive for axially adjusting at least one of the transport section. The at least one transport section includes at least one first transport sub-section and at least one second transport sub-section in the transverse direction. The first transport sub-section and the second transport sub-section are drivable relative to one another at differing speeds in the circumferential direction. The alignment segment includes a transport section that includes the dedicated drive for axially adjusting the transport section and the transport sub-sections that can be driven relative to one another at differing speeds.
