Zusammenfassung:THE INVENTION RELATES IN PARTICULAR TO THE SEPARATION AND TRANSPORTATION OF A DISC SHAPED SUBSTRATE (102; 202) SUCH AS E.G. A SOLAR WAFER. THE INVENTION IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT SEPARATIONS TAKE PLACE WITHIN A FLUID, AND THAT ADHESION FORCES RESULTING FROM A THIN FLUID FILM DEVELOP BETWEEN A GRIPPER (108; 208) AND THE SUBSTRATE TO BE SEPARATED (102; 202) THAT ENABLE ADHERANCE TO THE GRIPPER (108; 208). THROUGH UNLOADING PERPENDICULAR TO THE FEED DIRECTION (105; 205) OR PARTICULARLY IN PARALLEL TO THE PLANAR DESIGN OF THE SUBSTRATES (102; 202), A VERY GENTLE AND EFFICIENT SEPARATION OF DISC SHAPED SUBSTRATES (102; 202) IS POSSIBLE WITH A SHORT CYCLE TIME.
