According to Fig. 1 coating mechanism section 3 is described.As previously described, coating mechanism section 3 has long nozzle 30 on width.Nozzle 30 is installed on the width on the long lifting body 34.In nozzle 30, be formed with finedraw mouth 31 at the width of total length almost, and finedraw mouth 31 is in front end (lower end) upper shed of nozzle 30.Supply with coating fluids to nozzle 30, and in conveying substrate W, discharge coating fluids from finedraw mouth 31, thus, can be coated with coating fluid on the width with respect to the almost total length of substrate W.And the front end of nozzle 30 is gap with short transverse and corresponding state with respect to the substrate W that is transferred.
According to above conveying mechanism section 2 and coating mechanism section 3, substrate W is from the state of the upper surface suspension specified altitude of floating platform 20, and under this state, the lower surface of the width end E of substrate W is adsorbed by adsorbing mechanism 25.The base component 23 that carries this adsorbing mechanism 25 moves horizontally along track 21, and substrate W is transferred to horizontal direction thus, carries in the way at this, discharges coating fluid and forms coated film from nozzle 30 with respect to substrate W upper surface.
In addition, be provided with pillar 33 as the part of coating mechanism section 3 in the width both sides, the lifting body 34 of nozzle 30 be installed to be set up across the mode between the pillar 33,33.Pillar 33 also has when having the function at width both ends of supporting elevation body 34 as the function of the guide of direction induction lifting body 34 up and down.And coating mechanism section 3 comprises makes the lifting drive division 32 of lifting body 34 along pillar 33 to the short transverse lifting.Lifting drive division 32 is separately positioned on the pillar 33 of both sides, and the back and forth movement cylinder that is moved up and down independently by the width end that makes lifting body 34 consists of.In addition, this lifting drive division 32 can move according to the control signal of coming self-control device 4, if the lifting drive division 32 of width both sides moves simultaneously, then can make nozzle 30 to the short transverse parallel, in addition, can move to regulate by the lifting drive division 32 that only has a side posture (adjusting operation) of nozzle 30.For example, when nozzle 30 is inclined relative to horizontal, can eliminate this inclination by regulating operation.
Can carry out coating fluid is coated on coating operation on the substrate W by the apparatus for coating 1 with above structure, but in order to improve the quality (making uniform film thickness) of the coated film that forms at this substrate W with coating fluid, preferably, nozzle 30 is parallel with respect to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of substrate W, and the gap of nozzle 30 and substrate W is constant on width.
Therefore, for example nozzle 30 is taken off when changing from lifting body 34, should be made the posture of the nozzle 30 after the replacing be the adjusting operation of level.So, in order to regulate the posture of nozzle 30 with respect to the horizontal plane, as shown in Figure 2, apparatus for coating 1 comprises the sensor 7 for detection of the height and position of the width end 35 of nozzle 30.And this sensor 7 together is equipped on the base component 23 with adsorbing mechanism 25.In addition, base component 23 is arranged on the width both sides, and thus, sensor 7 also is arranged on the width both sides, and these sensors 7,7 in both sides are configured on the same straight line (imaginary line) that extends to width.In addition, on each base component 23 of width both sides, sensor 7 is carried in the mode of rectilinear form on throughput direction and row arrangement with adsorbing mechanism 25.
Because sensor 7 is equipped on the base component 23, therefore by the lower position that makes base component 23 move to nozzle 30 can make sensor 7 be positioned at nozzle 30 under.In addition, the position of base component 23 is to manage by control device 4, by the control of control device 4, can make sensor 7 be positioned at nozzle 30 under on the position.
As shown in Figure 4, the sensor 7 of present embodiment is touch sensor, comprise the width end 35 that can touch nozzle 30 the lower surface contact shoe 8 and be used for to measure from datum level H0 to contact shoe the measuring instrument 9 of the height and position of 8 front end, touch the lower surface of the end 35 of nozzle 30 by the front end that makes contact shoe 8, can measure from datum level H0 to nozzle the height h of the lower surface of 30 end 35 with measuring instrument 9.In addition, in the present embodiment, datum level H0 is the upper surface 20a of floating platform 20.
And, on the width both sides measured based on sensor 7, from datum level H0 to nozzle the height value h of the lower surface of 30 end 35, and its measured value exported on the control device 4.Control device 4 can be obtained the poor of height h according to this measured value, and can make nozzle 30 be the adjusting operation of level according to this difference.
In addition, in order to carry out this adjusting operation, in the time of can being the height and position when the width end 35 by sensor 7 gaging nozzles 30, from the included air injection 26(of section of base component 23 with reference to Fig. 2) spray compressed air and make base component 23 be the state of suspension with respect to track 21, but, in the present embodiment, in order to regulate operation, control device 4 by control so that be equipped on the sensor 7 of base component 23 be positioned at nozzle 30 under stop all from the compressed-air actuated injection of air injection section 26 during the state of position.As previously described, be used for spraying compressed-air actuated mattress 27 and be the state that slightly suspends from the upper surface 21a of track 21, by stopping compressed-air actuated injection, air injection section 26 is the state (being in the state that suspends and be disengaged) that contacts with the upper surface 21a of track 21.That is, in order to regulate operation, make the base component 23 of suspension be the state that is seated track 21.
Further, when stopping the compressed-air actuated supply to all air injection sections 26, control device 4 to valve 17(with reference to Fig. 3) transmit control signal and carry out the switching of stream, and by control all air injection sections 26 are connected with stream 16 with exhaust.Thus, when making base component 23 be seated on the track 21, the air that residues in all air injection sections 26 outwards can be discharged (to atmosphere opening).
Even stop from the compressed-air actuated injection of air injection section 26 by control device 4 and base component 23 is seated on the track 21, if but air residual is in the air injection 26(of section mattress 27) in, then base component 23 still is the state of suspension, therefore base component 23 is seated on the track 21 reliably.At this moment, when carrying out described adjusting operation, can't make base component 23 be in specific height and position and its repeatability can't be guaranteed, result, measured value generation error at every turn.
But, in the present embodiment, can use air flow circuit 16 to outside drain by exhaust the compressed air that residues in air injection section 26, therefore, base component 23 is seated on the track 21 reliably, and, this state can be reproduced reliably when carrying out described adjusting operation at every turn.In addition, compressed air uses air flow circuit 16 to outside drain by exhaust, and thus, base component 23 can promptly be seated on the track 21.Therefore, can promptly measure with sensor 7.
