Abstract: The invention relates to a low-pressure coating system and a method for coating particle or fibre collectives by means of physical or chemical vapour phase deposition. A deagglomeration unit is used, by means of which the particle or fibre collective is separated and then coated. These particles are used for example as active material for batteries and capacitors and as 3D printing powder or colour pigments. The fibres are used for example for textiles, membranes, filters or composite materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine tool as well as to a method for operating the machine tool. The machine tool comprises a workpiece carrier (20) that can be incrementally rotated about an incremental advance axis (22) and has several carrier sides (25). A first workpiece chuck unit (26) for holding a workpiece in a first position (P1) and a second workpiece chuck unit (27) for holding a workpiece in a second position (P2) are arranged on each carrier side (25). In each angular position or incremental advance position of the workpiece carrier (20), one carrier side (25) is in a loading station (30), one carrier side (25) is in an unloading station 31, and the respectively other carrier sides (25) are in respectively one work station (32). A workpiece changing device (34) is provided, said device moving a partially machined workpiece (16a) out of the first position (P1) in the unloading station (31) into the second position (P2) in the loading station.
