Abstract: In a method for coating of disc-shaped data storage media with a coating medium at least one coating nozzle is moved quickly by a first movement into the vicinity of a coating medium application location at the inner area of a storage medium and subsequently the at least one application nozzle is moved slowly by a second movement to the location of application. The coating medium is applied at the location of application and is distributed by a centrifugal force resulting from rotation of the storage medium. The device for coating disc-shaped data storage media with a coating medium has a rotatable support for the storage medium and at least one coating nozzle comprising a drive unit for moving the at least one coating nozzle across the storage medium to a location of application of the coating medium. The drive unit is a hydraulic arrangement with a first hydraulic cylinder for a first, fast movement and a second hydraulic cylinder for a second, slow movement of the at least one coating nozzle.

Abstract: A device for coating substrates has a capillary slot which is used in a first step to apply lacquer to the substrate. In a second step, the lacquer layer thickness of the substrate is reduced and made more uniform by spinning in a spinning device.

Abstract: A device for coating a plate has an open channel being open in an upward direction and a device for supplying a liquid to the open channel. The liquid in the open channel forms an convexly curved portion projecting upwardly from the open channel. A device for transporting a plate at a close distance past the open channel is provided, with which a surface to be coated of the plate facing the convexly curved portion of the liquid is guided such that a thin film of the liquid is deposited on the surface to be coated by adhesion effects. Another device for lacquering or coating plates or disks has a capillary slot that is filled with a liquid coating medium. The plate to be coated is advanced across the capillary slot with the surface to be coated facing downwardly so that due to the capillary effect a thin layer is deposited on the surface of the plate.
