Abstract

According to various embodiments, a transport arrangement (100) can have: a first winding tube coupling (WD02) for coupling the first winding tube; a frame (702) which provides a first mounting position and a second mounting position for the first winding sleeve coupling (WD02); a second bobbin coupler (WD01) rotatably supported by the frame (702) for coupling the second bobbin; two processing rollers (CD01, CD02) each rotatably supported by the frame (702); wherein when the tape substrate is wrapped by means of the two processing rollers (CD01, CD02) from the first winding sleeve to the second winding sleeve and/or from the second winding sleeve to the first winding sleeve: the two processing rollers (CD01, CD02) differ in their respective direction of rotation, if the first winding tube coupling (WD02) is rotatably mounted in the first assembly position, and the two processing rollers (CD01, CD02) match in their respective direction of rotation, if the first winding tube coupling (WD02) is rotatably mounted in the second assembly position.

Description

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a transport arrangement, a vacuum arrangement, a control device, a method and a use.

In general, a substrate, for example a glass substrate, a metal substrate and/or a polymer substrate, can be treated (processed), e.g. coated, so that the chemical and/or physical properties of the substrate can be changed. Various coating methods can be used to coat a substrate, such as vapor deposition, e.g., chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or physical vapor deposition (PVD), e.g., sputtering, thermal evaporation, or electron beam evaporation.

In general, flexible substrates in the form of a strip (e.g. metal strip, film strip or glass strip) can be processed in a continuous system, e.g. coated (and/or otherwise treated) in a film coating system. In this case, for example, a strip substrate can be transported through a coating area by means of a transport arrangement. The transport arrangement can be set up, for example, in such a way that the tape substrate is processed from roll-to-roll (also referred to as R2R), the tape substrate being unwound from a first substrate roll, being transported through the coating area and, after coating, onto a second Substrate roll is wound up again (also referred to as a winder or re-winder). The coating system can have a vacuum chamber so that the strip substrate can be coated in a vacuum. The substrate roll can, for example, be introduced into the vacuum chamber or discharged from it, so that the vacuum chamber has to be ventilated cyclically in order to exchange the belt substrate.

According to various embodiments, a transport arrangement, a vacuum arrangement, a control device, and a method are provided that increase the flexibility of the transport arrangement. These can, for example, reduce the effort involved in coating a substrate either on one or both sides. Clearly, the transport arrangement, the vacuum arrangement, the control device, and the method can provide that the transport configuration for one-sided coating can be converted into a transport configuration for two-sided coating and vice versa with little effort.

This means, for example, that thicker layers can be applied, intermediate ventilation of the substrate is not necessary (e.g. to turn the substrate or refill coating material), less mechanical stress is introduced into the substrate.

For example, a vacuum deposition system may be used to deposit one or more layers onto a tape substrate using chemical and/or physical vapor deposition. In order to efficiently implement large-area deposition on correspondingly large-area strip substrates, the strip substrate can be transported through a number of coating areas by means of guide rollers, with a coating process being able to be carried out in each coating area of the number of coating areas while the substrate is being transported. The coating process may include coating and/or pre-treating the substrate.

In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In this regard, directional terminology such as "top", "bottom", "front", "back", "front", "rear", etc. is used with reference to the orientation of the figure(s) being described. Because components of embodiments can be positioned in a number of different orientations, the directional terminology is used for purposes of illustration and is in no way limiting. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is understood that the characteristics of the various exemplary embodiments described herein may be combined with one another unless specifically stated otherwise. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

Within the scope of this description, the terms “connected”, “connected” and “coupled” are used to describe both a direct and an indirect connection (e.g. ohmic and/or electrically conductive, e.g. an electrically conductive connection), a direct or indirect connection and a direct or indirect coupling. In the figures, identical or similar elements are provided with identical reference symbols, insofar as this is appropriate.

According to various embodiments, the term "coupled" or "coupling" can be understood in the sense of a (e.g. mechanical, hydrostatic, thermal and/or electrical), e.g. direct or indirect, connection and/or interaction. For example, several elements can be coupled to one another along an interaction chain, along which the interaction can be exchanged, e.g. a fluid (then also referred to as fluid-conductingly coupled). For example, two elements coupled together can exchange an interaction with each other, e.g., a mechanical, hydrostatic, thermal and/or electrical interaction. A coupling of several vacuum components (e.g. valves, pumps, chambers, etc.) to one another can include that they are coupled to one another in a fluid-conducting manner. According to various embodiments, "coupled" may be understood to mean a mechanical (e.g., physical) coupling, such as by means of direct physical contact. A clutch may be configured to transmit mechanical interaction (e.g., force, torque, etc.).

Controlling can be understood as intentional influencing of a system. The current state of the system (also referred to as the actual state) can be changed according to a specification (also referred to as the target state). Regulation can be understood as control, whereby a change in the state of the system due to disturbances is also counteracted. Clearly, the controller can have a forward-pointing control path and thus clearly implement a sequence control that converts an input variable (e.g. the specification) into an output variable. However, the controlled system can also be part of a control circuit, so that a control is implemented. In contrast to the purely forward-oriented sequence control, the regulation has a continuous influence of the output variable on the input variable, which is brought about by the control loop (feedback). In other words, regulation can be used as an alternative or in addition to the control, or regulation can take place as an alternative or in addition to the control. The state of the system (also referred to as the operating point) can be represented by one or more controlled variables of the system, the actual value of which represents the actual state of the system and the target value (also referred to as the reference value) the target state of the system represented. In a regulation, an actual state of the system (e.g. determined based on a measurement) is compared with the target state of the system and one or more controlled variables are influenced by means of a corresponding manipulated variable (using an actuator) in such a way that the deviation of the actual state is minimized from the target state of the system.

Within the scope of this description, a metal (also referred to as a metallic material) can have (or be formed from) at least one metallic element (ie one or more metallic elements), for example at least one element from the following group of elements: copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Titanium (Ti), Nickel (Ni), Silver (Ag), Chromium (Cr), Platinum (Pt), Gold (Au), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminum (Al), Zirconium (Zr), Tantalum (Ta), Molybdenum (Mo), Tungsten (W), Vanadium (V), Barium (Ba), Indium (In), Calcium (Ca), Hafnium (Hf), Samarium (Sm), Silver (Ag), and/or lithium (Li). Furthermore, a metal can have or be formed from a metallic compound (eg an intermetallic compound or an alloy), eg a compound of at least two metallic elements (eg from the group of elements) such as bronze or brass, or eg a compound of at least one metallic element (eg from the group of elements) and at least one non-metallic element (eg carbon), such as steel.

According to various embodiments, a substrate can be transported as a tape (also referred to as a tape substrate or tape-shaped substrate) from substrate reel to substrate reel (also referred to as reel-to-reel) and processed in the process.

Examples of processing (also referred to as treating) the tape substrate include: cleaning the tape substrate, coating the tape substrate, irradiating (e.g., using light, coherent light, UV light, particles, electrons, ions, etc.) the tape substrate, modifying the surface chewing the ribbon substrate, heating the ribbon substrate, etching the ribbon substrate, and annealing the ribbon substrate.

The tape substrate may have a width (cross-transport dimension) in a range from about 30 cm to about 500 cm, or a width greater than about 500 cm. Furthermore, the tape substrate can be flexible. Clearly, a tape substrate (also referred to herein simply as a substrate) can be any substrate that can be wound onto a roll and/or can be processed from roll-to-roll, for example. Depending on the elasticity of the material used, the tape substrate can have a material thickness (also referred to as substrate thickness) in a range from approximately a few micrometers (e.g. from approximately 1 μm) to approximately a few millimeters (e.g. up to approximately 10 mm), for example in a range from approximately 0.01mm to about 3mm.

According to various embodiments, the substrate may be or will be coated with a coating material. The coating material may include or be formed from at least one of the following materials: a metal; a transition metal, an oxide (e.g. a metal oxide or a transition metal oxide); a dielectric; a polymer (e.g., a carbon-based polymer or a silicon-based polymer); an oxynitride; a nitride; a carbide; a ceramic; a semimetal (e.g. carbon); a perovskite; a glass or vitreous material (e.g., a sulfidic glass); a semiconductor; a semiconductor oxide; a semi-organic material, and/or an organic material. The coating material for coating the substrate can be provided by means of a processing device.

According to various embodiments, the substrate may include or be formed from at least one of the following: a ceramic, a glass, a semiconductor (e.g., an amorphous, polycrystalline, or single-crystal semiconductor, e.g., silicon), a metal (e.g., aluminum, copper, iron, steel, platinum, gold, etc.), a polymer (e.g. plastic) and/or a mixture of different materials, such as a composite material (e.g. carbon fiber-reinforced carbon, or carbon fiber-reinforced plastic).

According to various embodiments, the substrate may include or be formed from a plastic film, a semiconductor film, a metal film and/or a glass film, and optionally be or become coated. The substrate can optionally have fibers, for example glass fibers, carbon fibers, metal fibers and/or plastic fibers, for example in the form of a woven fabric, a net, a knitted fabric, a knitted fabric, or as a felt or fleece.

The tape substrate can be processed in a vacuum chamber (also referred to as a processing chamber). The vacuum chamber can be coupled (e.g. gas-conducting) to a pump arrangement, e.g. When fired, the vacuum chamber can, for example, be set up to be airtight, dust-tight and/or vacuum-tight. The pumping system (comprising at least one vacuum pump, e.g. a high vacuum pump, e.g. a turbomolecular pump) can make it possible to pump part of the gas out of the interior of the processing chamber, e.g. out of the vacuum region.

According to various embodiments, the vacuum chamber can be set up in such a way that a pressure in a range from about 10 mbar to about 1 mbar (in other words, rough vacuum) can be provided or less, for example a pressure in a range from about 1 mbar to about 10 ^-3 mbar (in other words fine vacuum) or less, for example a pressure in a range from about 10 ^-3 mbar to about 10 ^-7 mbar (in other words high vacuum) or less, for example a pressure of less than high vacuum, e.g. less than about 10 ^-7 mbar.

According to various embodiments, the transport assembly described herein may include a plurality of rollers (also referred to as rollers) and multiple core clutches. For example, each winding sleeve coupling of the plurality of winding sleeve couplings can have a coupling device for coupling to a winding sleeve. For example, the coupling device of each winding sleeve clutch of the plurality of winding sleeve couplings can have a clamping device (e.g. having a sleeve mandrel, a mandrel, an expanding mandrel, a cone clamping element, and/or a segmented mandrel) for clamping the respective winding tube.

According to various embodiments, the vacuum chamber can have a plurality of rotary feedthroughs, each rotary feedthrough of which provides a mounting position for a winding sleeve coupling. For example, the vacuum chamber can have a chamber wall with a plurality of rotary unions, each rotary union being coupled to exactly one winding sleeve clutch of the plurality of winding sleeve clutches for transmitting a torque to the winding sleeve clutch by means of the rotary union from outside the vacuum chamber.

According to various embodiments, the several winding sleeve couplings can essentially be set up in the same way, so that the winding sleeves can be interchanged with one another. Substantially similar can be understood as identical or at least so similar that the differences between the several winding sleeve couplings are so small or few that the interchangeability of the winding sleeves is maintained. In other words, there can optionally be small differences between the several winding sleeve couplings, which, however, do not impair their functionality in relation to the winding sleeves. For example, the winding sleeves can be set up essentially in the same way.

For example, the winding sleeve couplings can have the same outer diameter or can be adjusted to this. This can provide for a core of the appropriate inner diameter to fit onto each core coupling of the multiple core couplings, e.g., when multiple cores of uniform internal diameter are used.

According to various embodiments, the distance between immediately adjacent winding sleeve couplings of the plurality of winding sleeve couplings can be in a range from approximately 1 m to approximately 5 m.

Each roller of the transport arrangement can have a rotating body or be formed from it and be rotatably mounted. According to various embodiments, the transport arrangement described herein can be set up to transport the substrate along a transport path several meters long and to deflect it several times in the process. For this purpose, the transport arrangement can have at least one guide roller (also referred to as a guide roller). According to various embodiments, the at least one guide roller can be at least one of the following types of guide rollers: a deflection roller; a spreader roll; a measuring roller; and/or a pull roller. At least the traction roller may be a powered (i.e. active) idler roller. Alternatively or additionally, the deflection roller; the spreader roller and/or the measuring roller can be a non-driven (i.e. passive) guide roller. Optionally, depending on requirements, one or more than one guide roller, e.g. one or more than one spreader roller, can be driven directly or indirectly. For example, a spreader roll may be a concave idler roll (or rollers) and provide for the tape substrate to be transported smoothly (flat) and graphically less buckling or warping of the tape substrate. For example, a tension roller may provide for a predefined tension to be placed on the tape substrate. A pull roller may have a rubberized surface, e.g., it may be or will be coated with a rubber.

Optionally, a guide roller can be set up as a measuring roller. The measuring roller can have at least one sensor which can be set up to detect a mechanical variable, the mechanical variable representing a mechanical stress in the substrate. The mechanical quantity can include, for example, a mechanical interaction with the substrate, e.g., a mechanical force to or from the substrate (e.g., a torque). As an alternative or in addition, the mechanical variable can have a rotational speed of the measuring roller. In other words, the measuring roller can be set up to detect a mechanical variable which represents a mechanical tensile stress in the substrate and/or its gradient and/or transient.

Optionally, the transport arrangement can have one or more train control routes (for train decoupling), e.g. implemented by means of the control device. The or each tension control draw frame can have at least one measuring roller, one tension roller and the control device. The control device can be set up to control and/or regulate a rotational speed and/or a torque of the traction roller on the basis of the mechanical variable, e.g. according to a specification. The control device can also be used to control and/or regulate several train control routes together. In the case of a sensitive substrate, the mechanical tensile stress (also referred to as web tension), which is transferred from the guide rollers and/or winders to the substrate, can be controlled and/or regulated by means of the or each tension control path.

As described above, the transport arrangement can provide a transport path along which the substrate is wrapped. Reconfiguring the transport arrangement may include changing the transport path, e.g., its start and/or end point.

In the following, for easier understanding, reference is made to the state of the transport arrangement when the substrate is placed in it (also referred to as the operating state). However, the substrate does not necessarily have to be inserted, e.g. when the transport arrangement is being serviced or the substrate is changed. What has been described for the substrate and its spatial profile can apply analogously to the transport path and vice versa.

According to various embodiments, the tape substrate may include or be formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Alternatively or additionally, the strip substrate can be or will be coated with aluminum. An aluminum-coated substrate made of polyethylene terephthalate can, for example, be installed as a current collector in a battery.

1 12 illustrates a transport assembly 100 according to various embodiments in a schematic side view or cross-sectional view, wherein the transport assembly 100 is in a first transport configuration. 2 12 illustrates the transport assembly according to various embodiments 200 in a schematic side view or cross-sectional view, wherein the transport assembly is in a second transport configuration.

The transport arrangement 100 can have several winding tube couplings WD01, WD02. The plurality of winding sleeve clutches WD01, WD02 can have at least one variable winding sleeve clutch WD02 (also referred to as first winding sleeve clutch WD02) and one invariable winding sleeve clutch WD01 (also referred to as second winding sleeve clutch). Each of the winding sleeve couplings WD01, WD02 can be set up for coupling (picking up and holding) a winding sleeve. For this purpose, each winding sleeve coupling of the plurality of winding sleeve couplings WD01, WD02 can be mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation 101a.

A winding sleeve (also referred to as a spool or substrate winding sleeve) can be understood as a tubular support by means of which a flexible substrate is stored or wrapped in the form of a winding, i.e. wound up into a winding (also referred to as a substrate winding or tape substrate winding) or unwound from the winding can. For example, a winding sleeve can be used to wrap around a substrate 102, e.g., wound onto or unwound from it. The flexible substrate 102 can be wrapped between two winding sleeves on the winding sleeve couplings WD01, WD02, e.g. from a first winding sleeve to a second winding sleeve.

Furthermore, the transport arrangement 100 can have several (e.g. two) processing rollers CD01, CD02, against which the substrate 102 rests during operation and the transport path is deflected. Each processing roller CD01, CD02 can thus provide a curved section of the transport path 111, along which the wrapping of the substrate 102 can take place.

Optionally, the transport arrangement 100 can have at least one rotatably mounted guide roller 122 on which the substrate 102 rests during operation. The substrate 102 can be deflected, guided and/or pulled by means of the at least one rotatably mounted guide roller 122. The at least one rotatably mounted guide roller 122 can have, for example, at least 2 guide rollers 122, for example at least 2 guide rollers 122, for example at least 5 guide rollers 122, for example at least 10 guide rollers 122, for example at least 15 guide rollers 122, for example at least 20 guide rollers 122.

The deflection of the substrate 102 by means of a guide roller and/or by means of a processing roller CD01, CD02 can have an angle (clearly the difference between the incoming transport path and the outgoing transport path). The angle can also be referred to as the minimum wrap. The angle may be greater than about 10°, such as greater than about 20°, such as greater than about 30°.

According to various embodiments, the substrate may be unwound from a first substrate winding core and wound onto a second substrate winding core (also referred to as over-wrapping). Alternatively or additionally, the substrate can be unwound from the second substrate winding core and wound onto the first substrate winding core (also referred to as rewinding). For example, the wrapping can include the first substrate winding sleeve being coupled to the first winding sleeve coupling WD02 or the second winding sleeve coupling WD01. For example, the wrapping can include the second substrate winding sleeve being coupled to the second winding sleeve coupling WD01 or the first winding sleeve coupling WD02.

Optionally, the wrapping may be multiple, e.g., comprising one or more than one pair of forward wrapping and reverse wrapping. This achieves that the substrate 102 is wound onto a substrate winding sleeve and then unwound from it again (also referred to as multiple wrapping).

In the first transport configuration, the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 can be rotatably mounted in the first assembly position 151, eg below the invariable winding sleeve coupling WD01 and/or below the transport area 157, or at least the winding sleeve can be mounted on this. As can be seen, in this case the substrate runs around the first processing roller CD01 counterclockwise (also referred to as left-handed) and clockwise (also referred to as designated clockwise) around the second processing roller CD02.

This achieves that the substrate 102 rests with a first substrate surface 1020 (also referred to more clearly as top side) on the first processing roller CD01 and with a second substrate surface 102u (referred to more clearly as underside) on the second processing roller CD02. The top 102o and the bottom 102u may denote those opposite substrate surfaces of the substrate that face each other when the substrate is rolled up.

Thus, the two processing rollers CD01, CD02 can differ from each other in their direction of rotation when the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 is rotatably mounted in the first assembly position.

In the second transport configuration, the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 can be rotatably mounted in the second assembly position, e.g. next to the invariable winding sleeve coupling WD01 and/or above the transport area 157, or at least the winding sleeve can be mounted on this. As can be seen, in this case the substrate runs counterclockwise around the first processing roller CD01 and counterclockwise around the second processing roller CD02.

This ensures that the substrate 102 rests with the first substrate surface on the first processing roller CD01 and on the second processing roller CD02.

The direction of rotation of the two processing rollers CD01, CD02 can thus match when the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 is rotatably mounted in the second assembly position.

The first mounting position 151 can be provided by means of a first mounting base 112a. The second mounting position 153 may be provided by a second mounting base 112b. The two mounting bases 112a, 112b are in each case invariant components of the frame (remaining in place, for example, during reconfiguration) and, if they are not used, can be blind-flanged, for example.

As can be seen, at least the transport area 157 can be arranged between the two mounting bases 112a, 112b, through which the transport path (e.g. a section of the transport path) runs and/or in which one or more than one guide roller 122 is arranged. For example, one or more than one guide roller 122 can be arranged between the two mounting bases 112a, 112b in order to redirect a portion of the transport path. The section of the transport path can lead from the first processing roller CD01 (also referred to as the process roller) to the second processing roller CD02.

Each of the two core clutches WD01, WD02 and each of the two processing rollers CD01, CD02 can be driven according to the transport configuration (then also referred to as active rollers). For this purpose, the transport arrangement 100 can have a corresponding drive device, which is set up to set each of the two winding sleeve clutches WD01, WD02 and each of the two processing rollers CD01, CD02 into a rotational movement (by supplying a torque to them).

The axes of rotation 101a of the winding tube couplings WD01, WD02 can be axis-parallel to one another, e.g. parallel to the direction of the axis of rotation 101. The axis of rotation 101a of the at least one guide roller 122 can be axis-parallel to the axes of rotation 101a of the winding tube couplings WD01, WD02, e.g. parallel to the direction of the axis of rotation 101. The axis of rotation 101a of each processing roller CD01, CD02 can be axis-parallel to the axes of rotation 101a of the winding sleeve couplings WD01, WD02, e.g. parallel to the direction of the axis of rotation 101.

In principle, the transport arrangement 100 can be reconfigured (also referred to as reconfiguration). Reconfiguring the transport assembly 100 may include moving the transport assembly 100 from the first transport configuration to the second transport configuration or from the second transport configuration to the first transport configuration.

In a first application example, the reconfiguration of the transport arrangement 100 can include relocating the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02, e.g. to the first assembly position 151 or to the second assembly position 153.

For example, the transport assembly 100 can be brought from the first transport configuration to the second transport configuration by moving the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 from the first assembly position to the second assembly position. To do this, the variable coil sleeve coupling WD02 can be removed from the frame (e.g. the first mounting base 112a) and remounted on the frame (e.g. on the second mounting base 112b) in the second mounting position.

For example, the transport arrangement 100 can change from the second transport configuration in be brought into the first transport configuration by bringing the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 from the second assembly position 153 to the first assembly position 151. For this purpose, the variable coil sleeve coupling WD02 can be removed from the frame (eg the second mounting base 112b) and remounted in the first mounting position on the frame (eg on the first mounting base 112a).

In a second application example (not shown), the reconfiguration of the transport arrangement 100 can include the transport arrangement 100 having two variable winding sleeve couplings WD02, of which a first variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 is in the first mounting position (e.g. mounted on the first mounting base 112a) and a second variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 in the second mounting position (eg mounted on the second mounting base 112b). In the second application example, reconfiguring the transport assembly 100 may include relocating the core and coupling it to, for example, the first variable core coupler WD02 or the second variable core coupler WD02.

More illustratively, reconfiguring the transport assembly 100 in the second application example may include relocating only the core rather than the entire core clutch. Here, inter alia, reference is made to the first application example, it being possible for what was described for the first application example to apply analogously to the second application example and vice versa.

3 12 illustrates a vacuum assembly 300 according to various embodiments in a schematic side view or cross-sectional view, including the transport assembly 100 in the first transport configuration. 4 4 illustrates the vacuum assembly 300 according to various embodiments 400 in a schematic side view or cross-sectional view having the transport assembly 100 in the second transport configuration. It can be understood that the transport arrangement 100 can also be provided as an independent component, for example separately from a vacuum arrangement 300 .

The vacuum arrangement 300 can have a vacuum chamber 802 in which the rollers of the transport arrangement 100 are arranged, e.g. the plurality of winding core clutches WD01, WD02 and/or the plurality of processing rollers CD01, CD02 and/or the at least one guide roller 122.

The driving device can optionally be arranged outside of the vacuum chamber 802 . In that case, a housing wall of the vacuum chamber can have a rotary union (e.g. provided by means of a flange) per active roller, which couples the drive device to the active rollers. For example, the drive device can be coupled to the multiple winding tube couplings WD01, WD02 and/or to the multiple processing rollers CD01, CD02.

For example, each of the two mounting bases 112a, 112b can have a corresponding rotary feedthrough.

The vacuum arrangement 300 can be set up to process the substrate. The processing may include permanently altering the substrate. The processing can include, for example, adding material to the substrate (eg coating the substrate), heating the substrate (ie supplying thermal energy to the substrate), cooling the substrate (ie removing thermal energy from the substrate), chemically and/or or to electrically alter (eg, to dope), and/or to remove material from the substrate (eg, to etch the substrate).

The vacuum arrangement 300 can be set up to process (e.g. to coat) the substrate 102 on one side when the variable winding sleeve coupling WD02 is rotatably mounted in the second mounting position; and to process (e.g. to coat) the strip substrate on both sides when the first winding sleeve coupling WD02 is rotatably mounted in the first assembly position.

Optionally, the processing may include performing the multiple wrapping, e.g., performing one or more than one pair of forward wrapping and reverse wrapping. This can be done, for example, if changing the substrate per wrapping is not sufficient or if the substrate is to be changed several times, e.g. step by step, for another reason.

For example, when a plastic substrate is coated (e.g., with metal), stress can be applied to the plastic from the coating. This can be counteracted by coating the plastic on both sides. This can be repeated one or more times, for example, in order to build up a coating layer by layer (e.g. to gradually increase the layer thickness) without the mechanical stress becoming too great.

In order to heat and/or cool the substrate (also known more generally as tempering net), one or more than one of the processing rollers CD01, CD02 can be set up as a tempering roller, which will be described in more detail later.

For processing, the vacuum arrangement 300 can alternatively or additionally have a first processing device 402a, which is assigned to the first processing roller CD01, and a second processing device 402b, which is assigned to the second processing roller CD02. In other words, the vacuum assembly 300 may have two pairs, each pair having a processing device and a processing roller associated with each other. In the following, reference is made more generally to one of the pairs, it being possible for what has been described to apply analogously to the first processing device 402a and/or the second processing device 402b.

According to various embodiments, each processing device can be set up for coating at least one substrate (i.e. one substrate or several substrates). For example, a processing device can be set up to provide a gaseous coating material (e.g. a material vapor) and/or liquid coating material, which can be deposited, for example, on the at least one substrate to form a layer (also referred to as coating). A processing device may include at least one of the following: a sputtering device, a thermal evaporation device (e.g., a laser beam evaporator, an arc evaporator, an electron beam evaporator, and/or a thermal evaporator), a precursor gas source, a liquid phase nebulizer. A sputtering device can be set up to atomize the coating material by means of a plasma. A thermal evaporation device can be set up to convert the coating material into a gaseous state of aggregation by means of thermal energy. Depending on the nature of the coating material, sublimation and/or evaporation of the coating material can take place. In other words, the thermal evaporation device can also sublimate the coating material. A liquid phase atomizer can be set up for applying a coating material from the liquid phase, e.g., comprising or formed from a dye.

The pair's processing device may be configured to process a portion of the ribbon substrate on the pair's processing roller. For example, the pair's processing device may include a coating material source configured to provide and emit a coating material toward the pair's processing roller.

In the following, reference is made to a processing device (then also referred to as an electron beam processing device), which is set up to convert the coating material into the gas phase using an electron beam 412 (also referred to as electron beam evaporation) in order to provide a gaseous coating material. The electron beam processing device can have, for example, a crucible in which the coating material is arranged as a coating material source. By analogy, what has been described for the electron beam processing device can also apply to a differently configured processing device.

According to various embodiments, the tape substrate 102 may include or be formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Alternatively or additionally, the coating material can include aluminum or be formed from it. A conductive substrate can thus be provided very efficiently and cost-effectively, for example.

In principle, the substrate can bear against the first processing roller CD01 with the first substrate surface, so that the second substrate surface of the substrate is transported past the first processing device 402a facing the latter. This achieves that the second substrate surface is processed by means of the first processing device 402a.

If the transport arrangement 100 is in the first transport configuration, the substrate can rest against the second processing roller CD02 with the second substrate surface, so that the first substrate surface of the substrate is transported past the second processing device 402b facing the latter. This achieves that the first substrate surface is processed (e.g. coated) by means of the second processing device 402b. As a result, the first substrate surface and the second substrate surface are processed (also referred to as two-sided processing) per pass of the wrapping. The two-sided processing can have, for example, that (e.g. per pass of the wrapping) the first substrate surface and the second substrate surface are processed (e.g. coated) the same number of times.

If the transport arrangement 100 is in the second transport configuration, the substrate can bear against the second processing roller CD02 with the first substrate surface, so that the second substrate surface of the substrate is transported past the second processing device 402b facing the latter. This achieves that the second substrate surface is processed (eg coated) by means of the second processing device 402b. As a result, the per pass of the wrapping second substrate surface processed several times (also referred to as one-sided processing). The one-sided processing can have, for example, that the second substrate surface is processed more frequently than the first substrate surface (eg per pass of the wrapping).

The tempering roller can be set up so that thermal energy is supplied to and/or withdrawn from it, e.g. For this purpose, the tempering roller can have a tempering device or be coupled to a tempering device, with the tempering device being set up for extracting and/or supplying the thermal energy. For example, the temperature control device can have a resistive heater for supplying the thermal energy. Alternatively or additionally, the temperature control device can have a fluid circuit for extracting and/or supplying the thermal energy. Alternatively or additionally, the temperature control device can be set up to emit a gas by means of the peripheral surface of the roller. This achieves that the substrate is better thermally coupled to the peripheral surface of the roller.

For example, the transport arrangement 100 can have two cooling rollers CD01, CD02, which are set up to cool the substrate 102.

For example, the frame can be part of the vacuum chamber 802 or can be or will be arranged in it. For example, the vacuum chamber 802 may include a chamber wall that is part of the frame. The chamber wall can optionally be set up as a chamber cover, which can be removed from a chamber housing of the vacuum chamber. A vacuum seal can be arranged between the chamber housing and the chamber lid.

The chamber cover can have a chassis, for example, so that it can be moved.

For example, the frame may have the chamber wall and a support wall spaced apart from each other. Then each roller of the transport arrangement can be mounted with a first side of the roller on the chamber lid and with a second side of the roller mounted on the support wall of the frame. For example, the entire transport assembly 100 can be moved out of and back into the chamber housing. This makes reconfiguration easier.

For example, the drive device can be mounted on the chamber wall, e.g. outside of the vacuum chamber 802.

Optionally, a supply device (not shown) can be arranged in the vacuum chamber 802 between the two coating material sources 402a, 402b (e.g. between the two crucibles), which is set up to supply the coating material to one or more than one of the two coating material sources 402a, 402b (also known as referred to as refeeding), for example without having to open the vacuum chamber 802 . This extends the life of the vacuum assembly 300.

Alternatively or additionally, the process gas can include or be formed from a reactive gas, e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon and/or carbon. The process pressure can form from an equilibrium of process gas, which is supplied by means of the gas supply and extracted by means of the pump system 602 .

Optionally, the vacuum arrangement 300 can have a supply device for supplying the temperature control device, eg for supplying it with a temperature-controlled fluid or with electrical energy. For example, the supply device outside of the processing chamber 802 can be arranged. For example, a heating or a cooling medium can be fed to the temperature control device (eg the processing roller) and removed again from it.

According to various embodiments, the vacuum chamber 802 may include a vacuum chamber housing having a chamber opening to expose the interior of the vacuum chamber 802 . The chamber opening can expose the interior of the vacuum chamber 802 in the rotation axis direction 101, for example. The vacuum chamber 802 can have the chamber cover to close the chamber opening.

The drive device 506 can also have a control device 508 which is set up to control the or each motor 516 of the drive device. The or each motor 516 of the drive device 506 can be controlled or regulated by means of the control device 508, e.g. by means of a control signal generated by a control device 508.

The controller 508 may be configured to drive each motor 516 according to the particular transport configuration in which the transport assembly 100 is. For this purpose, the drive device 506 can be switched between a first drive mode and a second drive mode.
