Planar drive device, and method for operating a planar drive device
A planar drive device having a first platform and having a second platform, which platforms are movable in an X-Y plane on a work bench, wherein the first platform has a frame, a transmission and a working platform for the arrangement of a work tool, wherein the transmission permits an adjustment of the distance of the working platform with respect to the X-Y plane, wherein the second platform has a frame and a drive member which is coupled in terms of movement at least indirectly to the working platform such that the distance of the working platform from the X-Y plane is adjustable by changing a distance between the two platforms within the X-Y plane. The work tool can be transferred into at least two different working states by relative movement of the platforms in the X-Y plane.
