Abstract

The invention relates to a method of transferring an object 2 from a first drive unit 100 to a second drive unit 200 in a linear transport system 1 in a transfer region 4 between the first drive unit 10 and the second drive unit 20. The first drive unit 10 has a first coil unit 11 and the second drive unit 20 has a second coil unit 21. Due to a magnetic field generated by the respective coil units 11, 12, a rotor 100, 200 is moved along the drive unit 10, 20. The object 2 is first fixed to the first rotor 100 by means of a first connection. The method comprises the following steps: * synchronizing the movement of the first rotor 100 and the second rotor 200 such that the first rotor 100 and the second rotor 200 move in a coordinated movement trajectory in the transfer region 4; * forming a second connection between the object 2 and the second rotor 200 in the transfer region 4; * releasing the first connection. The first connection between the first rotor 100 and the object 2 is generated by means of a first holding element 110. The second connection between the second rotor 200 and the object 2 is generated by means of a second holding element 210.
