  • Device and method for vacuum coating
    Patent number: 10767261
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for vacuum coating substrates in a vacuum chamber, comprising an elongated evaporator array having a plurality of evaporator elements arranged along a longitudinal axis and a first substrate carrier unit which is associated with the evaporator array and has a first pylon that can be rotated about a first axis and contains retaining means for substrates, wherein an angular offset of less than 10° is present between the longitudinal axis and the first rotational axis. The device is characterised in that at least one second substrate carrier unit is provided, which is associated with the evaporator array and has a second pylon that can be rotated about a second axis and contains retaining means for substrates, wherein an angular offset of less than 10° is present between the longitudinal axis and the second rotational axis.
