Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022200094A1] The invention relates to a conveying device designed to convey one or more payloads, more particularly wafers, by means of transport bodies. The transport bodies can be floatingly moved and positioned over a transport surface of a stator. The moving and positioning are preferably carried out with respect to all six degrees of freedom. The transport body has a movable boom or a movable manipulator or a movable robotic arm. At the end effector thereof, the payload can be deposited or fastened. In developments, the payload can also be processed and/or checked. The processing and/or checking can also be carried out by an end effector of an additional transport body of the same conveying device.
