Summary of the invention
In order to address the above problem, applying device of the present invention, central configuration between the pair of parallel guide rail has the substrate-placing workbench, the the 1st and the 2nd type travel mechanism is but that benchmark, left and right symmetrically are erected between the above-mentioned guide rail also independent ambulation to observe width center line with the substrate-placing workbench of above-mentioned guide rail quadrature on the plane, and gap nozzle liftably remains in the 1st and the 2nd the type travel mechanism.
Adopt this structure, during with a gap nozzle coating, can supply with coating liquid, therefore, do not need stand-by time, can shorten the productive temp time to another gap nozzle.
In addition, the moving area in the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd type travel mechanism in the position of leaving the substrate-placing workbench, disposes predistribution portion, cleaning part and standby portion in turn, thereby can keep the state of gap nozzle well.
In addition, above-mentioned type travel mechanism comprises the drive division that engages with each guide rail; And when the walking of this drive division, stop the beam that is erected to gap nozzle transmission distortion between the drive division, and like this, a door type travel mechanism is difficult to produce distortion during walking, even some distortion a little, this distortion also can stop to the gap nozzle transmission by beam.
The invention effect
According to the present invention, during with a gap nozzle coating, coating liquid can be supplied to another gap nozzle, can obtain the applying device of excellent in efficiency.In addition, according to the present invention, plant bulk can be so not big, and, even door type travel mechanism walks at a high speed, can not produce baneful influence to gap nozzle yet.
