  • Apparatus for the production of exposed and metallized substrates
    Patent number: 6023042
    Abstract: A disc lacquering station, a laser beam recorder, a developing station and a metallizer are arranged in tandem. A cassette station (7) for the intermediate storage of substrates precedes and another follows the laser beam recorder. The cassette station (7) has a fixedly installed buffer magazine (9) for substrates and an extra magazine (10), removable from the apparatus, for additional substrates. In this manner substrates can be taken with the extra magazine from the cassette station preceding the laser beam recorder, recorded on a separate laser beam recorder, and then air-locked back into the production apparatus.
