1. A guide device for at least one shuttle of a planar motor, the guide device comprising:
a first end and a second end; and
a pose course of the at least one shuttle defined between the first end and the second end, where the first end defines an introductory pose of the at least one shuttle and the second end defines an exit pose of the at least one shuttle;
wherein the first end is positionable on a first stator of the planar motor so that the introductory pose corresponds to an operationally controllable pose in relation to the first stator, and wherein the second end is positionable on one of the first stator or a second stator of the planar motor so that the exit pose corresponds to an operationally controllable pose with respect to the one of the first stator or the second stator,
wherein the pose course comprises at least one pose, which is an operationally non-controllable pose with respect to the stators of the planar motor, and the at least one shuttle is supported and stabilized in the at least one operationally non-controllable pose.
