    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for changing a workpiece carrier device in a production plant for coating substrates. The method comprises the steps of:



    displacing a workpiece carrier device by means of a robot from a supply zone to a processing zone;
    releasably coupling the workpiece carrier device to the production plant via a coupling interface of the workpiece carrier device by further displacing the workpiece carrier device by means of the robot,
    wherein for releasably coupling the workpiece carrier device to the production plant, a connecting arm of the workpiece carrier device is coupled to a connection section of the production plant, thereby fixing the connecting arm in a fixed position relative to the connection section, and
    wherein for releasably coupling the workpiece carrier device to the production plant, a drive shaft of the workpiece carrier device is coupled to a driving shaft of the production plant, thereby connecting the drive shaft to the driving shaft in a rotatably drivable manner.

    摘要: A device for separating interconnected transport boats that are movable in a first plane in an intended direction of motion includes a substantially oval, non-circular separation disk aligned parallel to the first plane and connected to a rotary drive and a lifting device via a drive shaft. The separation disk is movable by means of the lifting device in the direction of the transport boats to be separated in order to engage with a corresponding total recess in the transport boats to be separated. In addition, the separation disk is rotatably movable in, and/or parallel to, the first plane by means of the rotary drive in order to separate the transport boats to be separated from each other by rotating the separation disk.

    摘要: A method and a device for producing ingots from metal or metal alloy. The method and the device are suitable for producing ingots from nickel, titanium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, zirconium, hafnium, or alloys thereof and alloys of the metals in continuous casting methods. The device has an ingot chamber, which is suitable for receiving multiple cast ingots and for allowing the ingots to cool in the ingot chamber. For this purpose, the ingots are arranged in the ingot chamber in a horizontally movable manner on ingot tube section.
