TRANSPORT AND HANDING-OVER ARRANGEMENT FOR DISC-SHAPED SUBSTRATES, VACUUM TREATMENT INSTALLATION AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE TREATED SUBSTRATES

摘要

A transport and handing-over arrangement for disc shaped substrates, comprising a carrier (3) and a take-over arrangement (15). Both are moveable relative to each other. A relatively heavy substrate carrier (7) of magnetisable material is taken-over from the take-over arrangement (15) by distance control of a permanent magnet (17) at the take-over arrangement (15) or is returned therefrom to a carrier (3). The controlled drive of the permanent magnets (17) in the take-over arrangement (15) is performed by means of pneumatic piston/cylinder arrangements (19).
