摘要:
A vacuum treatment system (1) for treating workpieces has a treatment chamber (10) that can be evacuated and in which a low-volt arc-discharge device is placed, with at least one locking loading/unloading aperture and at least one coating source placed on one side wall of the treatment chamber. It also has a device for producing a magnetic field to create a remote magnetic field and at least one workpiece holder to hold workpieces. A target-shutter arrangement (8, 8′) is designed so that when uncovered, the distance between the shutter (8) and the target (12) is less than 35 mm, thus allowing ignition and operation of a magnetron or cathode spark discharge behind the target, but preventing ignition of auxiliary plasma when the target (8) is turned off.

A planet system workpiece support for a vacuum treatment apparatus includes a sun system rotatable in the vacuum treatment apparatus about a sun system axle to be coupled to a drive. At least one planet system is rotatable on planet axle and is supported on the sun system. The planet system has a driving coupling for driving the planet system and the support has at least one moon system supported on the planet system and rotatable about a moon axle with a driving connection to the sun system. At least one workpiece is received on the moon system and the driving connection is established, at least during operation, uninterruptedly between sun system and moon system.
摘要:
A vacuum treatment workpiece support and method for a vacuum treatment apparatus, uses a sun system that is rotatable with respect to the apparatus about a sun system axle. The sun system is coupled to an apparatus-side drive. At least one planet system supported on the sun system, is rotatable about a planet axle and is provided with a driving coupling with respect to the apparatus. At least one moon system is supported on the planet system, and is rotatable about a moon axle with a driving connection to the sun system. A receiver for at least one workpiece is provided on the moon system. The driving connection is established, at least during operation of the apparatus, in an uninterrupted manner, between the sun system and the moon system.
摘要:
A vacuum coating installation has at least a central distribution station which can be evacuated and has a transport arrangement driven in a controlled manner essentially along a plane, for the material to be treated. One operating station for the distribution station as well as at least two processing stations for the material to be treated are provided. The three or more stations communicate by way of operating openings with the distribution station, through which openings the material to be treated can be transported from one station into the other by the transport arrangement for the material to be treated. The material to be treated is formed by individual workpiece holders of the installation, each having a plurality of workpiece supports. On at least one of the processing stations, a drive and a driving connection, which can be established and released in a controlled manner, between the drive and the workpiece supports of a workpiece holder introduced in the processing station is provided for ensuring a three-dimensional workpiece processing in the processing station.
