Bei der überwiegenden Anzahl der bekannten Verfahren werden zur Verbesserung von Barriereeigenschaften des thermoplastischen Kunststoffmaterials durch das Plasma erzeugte Behälterschichten aus Siliziumoxiden mit der allgemeinen chemischen Formel SiOx verwendet. Derartige Barriereschichten verhindern ein Eindringen von Sauerstoff in die verpackten Flüssigkeiten sowie ein Austreten von Kohlendioxid bei CO2-haltigen Flüssigkeiten. In the vast majority of the known methods, container layers made of silicon oxides with the general chemical formula SiO x are used to improve the barrier properties of the thermoplastic plastic material. Barrier layers of this type prevent oxygen from entering the packaged liquids and escape of carbon dioxide in the case of liquids containing CO 2 .
Die bislang bekannten Verfahren und Vorrichtungen sind noch nicht in ausreichender Weise dafür geeignet, für eine Massenproduktion eingesetzt zu werden, bei der sowohl ein geringer Beschichtungspreis je Werkstück als auch eine hohe Produktionsgeschwindigkeit erreicht werden muß. The previously known methods and devices are still not adequate for one Mass production to be used in both low coating price per workpiece as well as a high one Production speed must be achieved.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren der einleitend genannten Art derart anzugeben, daß eine Handhabung der zu behandelnden Werkstücke mit hoher Geschwindigkeit und großer Zuverlässigkeit unterstützt wird.

Durch die relativ zum Kammerboden und zum Kammerdeckel positionierbare Anordnung der hülsenförmigen Kammerwandung ist es möglich, die zu behandelnden Werkstücke auf einem im wesentlichen gleichbleibenden Höhenniveau zu transportieren. Es wird hierdurch die Zeit für eine gemäß dem Stand der Technik durchzuführende Höhenpositionierung der Werkstücke sowie der hierfür erforderliche konstruktive Aufwand eingespart. Der Kammerboden sowie der Kammerdeckel bleiben auf einem gleichen Höhenniveau angeordnet, so daß mit konstruktiv einfachen Mitteln im Bereich des Kammerdeckels ein Mikrowellengenerator zur Zündung des Plasmas und im Bereich des Kammerbodens Zuführeinrichtungen für das Vakuum sowie das Prozeßgas angeordnet werden können. Alle Betriebsmittelzuführungen sowie Energieversorgungen können somit über feste Leitungen erfolgen und es werden Kupplungen oder im Hinblick auf ihre Lebensdauer kritische flexible Leitungen vermieden. Through the relative to the chamber floor and the chamber lid positionable arrangement of the sleeve-shaped chamber wall it is possible to workpieces to be treated on an in substantially constant height level transport. This will make the time for an according height positioning to be carried out according to the prior art of the workpieces as well as the design required for this Saved effort.

Aus der Darstellung in Fig. 1 ist ein Plasmamodul (1) zu erkennen, das mit einem rotierenden Plasmarad (2) versehen ist. Entlang eines Umfanges des Plasmarades (2) sind eine Mehrzahl von Plasmastationen (3) angeordnet. Die Plasmastationen (3) sind mit Kavitäten (4) bzw. Plasmakammern (17) zur Aufnahme von zu behandelnden Werkstücken (5) versehen. From the illustration in FIG. 1, a plasma module (1) can be seen which is provided with a rotating plasma wheel (2). A plurality of plasma stations ( 3 ) are arranged along a circumference of the plasma wheel ( 2 ). The plasma stations ( 3 ) are provided with cavities ( 4 ) or plasma chambers ( 17 ) for receiving workpieces ( 5 ) to be treated.
Die zu behandelnden Werkstücke (5) werden dem Plasmamodul (1) im Bereich einer Eingabe (6) zugeführt und über ein Vereinzelungsrad (7) an ein Übergaberad (8) weitergeleitet, das mit positionierbaren Tragarmen (9) ausgestattet ist. Die Tragarme (9) sind relativ zu einem Sockel (10) des Übergaberades (8) verschwenkbar angeordnet, so daß eine Abstandsveränderung der Werkstücke (5) relativ zueinander durchgeführt werden kann. Hierdurch erfolgt eine Übergabe der Werkstücke (5) vom Übergaberad (8) an ein Eingaberad (11) mit einem relativ zum Vereinzelungsrad (7) vergrößerten Abstand der Werkstücke (5) relativ zueinander. Das Eingaberad (11) übergibt die zu behandelnden Werkstücke (5) an das Plasmarad (2). Nach einer Durchführung der Behandlung werden die behandelten Werkstücke (5) von einem Ausgaberad (12) aus dem Bereich des Plasmarades (2) entfernt und in den Bereich einer Ausgabestrecke (13) überführt. The workpieces ( 5 ) to be treated are fed to the plasma module ( 1 ) in the area of an input ( 6 ) and forwarded via a separating wheel ( 7 ) to a transfer wheel ( 8 ) which is equipped with positionable support arms ( 9 ). The support arms ( 9 ) are arranged pivotably relative to a base ( 10 ) of the transfer wheel ( 8 ), so that a change in the distance of the workpieces ( 5 ) can be carried out relative to one another. As a result, the workpieces ( 5 ) are transferred from the transfer wheel ( 8 ) to an input wheel ( 11 ) with a greater distance between the workpieces ( 5 ) relative to one another relative to the separating wheel ( 7 ). The input wheel ( 11 ) transfers the workpieces ( 5 ) to be treated to the plasma wheel ( 2 ). After the treatment has been carried out, the treated workpieces ( 5 ) are removed from the area of the plasma wheel ( 2 ) by an output wheel ( 12 ) and transferred to the area of an output section ( 13 ).
Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 sind die Plasmastationen (3) jeweils mit zwei Kavitäten (4) bzw. Plasmakammern (17) ausgestattet. Hierdurch können jeweils zwei Werkstücke (5) gleichzeitig behandelt werden. Grundsätzlich ist es hierbei möglich, die Kavitäten (4) vollständig voneinander getrennt auszubilden, grundsätzlich ist es aber auch möglich, in einem gemeinsamen Kavitätenraum lediglich Teilbereiche derart gegeneinander abzugrenzen, daß eine optimale Beschichtung aller Werkstücke (5) gewährleistet ist. Insbesondere ist hierbei daran gedacht, die Teilkavitäten zumindest durch separate Mikrowelleneinkopplungen gegeneinander abzugrenzen. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the plasma stations ( 3 ) are each equipped with two cavities ( 4 ) or plasma chambers ( 17 ). As a result, two workpieces ( 5 ) can be treated at the same time. Basically, it is possible to make the cavities ( 4 ) completely separate from one another, but in principle it is also possible to delimit only partial areas from one another in a common cavity space in such a way that an optimal coating of all workpieces ( 5 ) is ensured. In particular, it is contemplated here to separate the partial cavities from one another at least by means of separate microwave couplings.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Plasmamoduls (1) mit teilweise aufgebautem Plasmarad (2). Die Plasmastationen (3) sind auf einem Tragring (14) angeordnet, der als Teil einer Drehverbindung ausgebildet und im Bereich eines Maschinensockels (15) gelagert ist. Die Plasmastationen (3) weisen jeweils einen Stationsrahmen (16) auf, der Plasmakammern (17) haltert. Die Plasmakammern (17) weisen zylinderförmige Kammerwandungen (18) sowie Mikrowellengeneratoren (19) auf. Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a plasma module ( 1 ) with a partially constructed plasma wheel ( 2 ). The plasma stations ( 3 ) are arranged on a support ring ( 14 ) which is designed as part of a rotary connection and is mounted in the area of a machine base ( 15 ). The plasma stations ( 3 ) each have a station frame ( 16 ) which holds plasma chambers ( 17 ). The plasma chambers ( 17 ) have cylindrical chamber walls ( 18 ) and microwave generators ( 19 ).
In einem Zentrum des Plasmarades (2) ist ein Drehverteiler (20) angeordnet, über den die Plasmastationen (3) mit Betriebsmitteln sowie Energie versorgt werden. Zur Betriebsmittelverteilung können insbesondere Ringleitungen (21) eingesetzt werden. A rotary distributor ( 20 ) is arranged in a center of the plasma wheel ( 2 ), via which the plasma stations ( 3 ) are supplied with operating resources and energy. Ring lines ( 21 ) can be used in particular for the distribution of operating resources.
Die zu behandelnden Werkstücke (5) sind unterhalb der zylinderförmigen Kammerwandungen (18) dargestellt. Unterteile der Plasmakammern (17) sind zur Vereinfachung jeweils nicht eingezeichnet. The workpieces ( 5 ) to be treated are shown below the cylindrical chamber walls ( 18 ). Lower parts of the plasma chambers ( 17 ) are not shown for the sake of simplicity.
Fig. 4 zeigt eine Plasmastation (3) in perspektivischer Darstellung. Es ist zu erkennen, daß der Stationsrahmen (16) mit Führungsstangen (23) versehen ist, auf denen ein Schlitten (24) zur Halterung der zylinderförmigen Kammerwandung (18) geführt ist. Fig. 4 zeigt den Schlitten (24) mit Kammerwandung (18) in einem angehobenen Zustand, so daß das Werkstück (5) freigegeben ist. Fig. 4 shows a plasma station ( 3 ) in perspective. It can be seen that the station frame ( 16 ) is provided with guide rods ( 23 ) on which a carriage ( 24 ) for holding the cylindrical chamber wall ( 18 ) is guided. Fig. 4 shows the carriage ( 24 ) with the chamber wall ( 18 ) in a raised state, so that the workpiece ( 5 ) is released.
Im oberen Bereich der Plasmastation (3) ist der Mikrowellengenerator (19) angeordnet. Der Mikrowellengenerator (19) ist über eine Umlenkung (25) und einen Adapter (26) an einen Kopplungskanal (27) angeschlossen, der in die Plasmakammer (17) einmündet. Grundsätzlich kann der Mikrowellengenerator (19) sowohl unmittelbar im Bereich des Kammerdeckels (31) als auch über ein Distanzelement an den Kammerdeckel (31) angekoppelt mit einer vorgebbaren Entfernung zum Kammerdeckel (31) und somit in einem größeren Umgebungsbereich des Kammerdeckels (31) angeordnet werden. Der Adapter (26) hat die Funktion eines Übergangselementes und der Kopplungskanal (27) ist als ein Koaxialleiter ausgebildet. Im Bereich einer Einmündung des Kopplungskanals (27) in den Kammerdeckel (31) ist ein Quarzglasfenster angeordnet. Die Umlenkung (25) ist als ein Hohlleiter ausgebildet. The microwave generator ( 19 ) is arranged in the upper region of the plasma station ( 3 ). The microwave generator ( 19 ) is connected via a deflection ( 25 ) and an adapter ( 26 ) to a coupling channel ( 27 ) which opens into the plasma chamber ( 17 ). In principle, the microwave generator ( 19 ) can be coupled both directly in the area of the chamber cover ( 31 ) and via a spacer element to the chamber cover ( 31 ) with a predeterminable distance to the chamber cover ( 31 ) and thus in a larger surrounding area of the chamber cover ( 31 ) , The adapter ( 26 ) has the function of a transition element and the coupling channel ( 27 ) is designed as a coaxial conductor. A quartz glass window is arranged in the region of a junction of the coupling channel ( 27 ) in the chamber cover ( 31 ). The deflection ( 25 ) is designed as a waveguide.
Das Werkstück (5) wird von einem Halteelement (28) positioniert, das im Bereich eines Kammerbodens (29) angeordnet ist. Der Kammerboden (29) ist als Teil eines Kammersockels (30) ausgebildet. Zur Erleichterung einer Justage ist es möglich, den Kammersockel (30) im Bereich der Führungsstangen (23) zu fixieren. Eine andere Variante besteht darin, den Kammersockel (30) direkt am Stationsrahmen (16) zu befestigen. Bei einer derartigen Anordnung ist es beispielsweise auch möglich, die Führungsstangen (23) in vertikaler Richtung zweiteilig auszuführen. The workpiece ( 5 ) is positioned by a holding element ( 28 ) which is arranged in the region of a chamber base ( 29 ). The chamber base ( 29 ) is designed as part of a chamber base ( 30 ). To facilitate adjustment, it is possible to fix the chamber base ( 30 ) in the area of the guide rods ( 23 ). Another variant is to attach the chamber base ( 30 ) directly to the station frame ( 16 ). With such an arrangement, it is also possible, for example, to design the guide rods ( 23 ) in two parts in the vertical direction.
Fig. 5 zeigt eine Vorderansicht der Plasmastation (3) gemäß Fig. 3 in einem geschlossenen Zustand der Plasmakammer (17). Der Schlitten (24) mit der zylinderförmigen Kammerwandung (18) ist hierbei gegenüber der Positionierung in Fig. 4 abgesenkt, so daß die Kammerwandung (18) gegen den Kammerboden (29) gefahren ist. In diesem Positionierzustand kann die Plasmabeschichtung durchgeführt werden. FIG. 5 shows a front view of the plasma station ( 3 ) according to FIG. 3 in a closed state of the plasma chamber ( 17 ). The carriage ( 24 ) with the cylindrical chamber wall ( 18 ) is lowered compared to the positioning in FIG. 4, so that the chamber wall ( 18 ) has moved against the chamber bottom ( 29 ). The plasma coating can be carried out in this positioning state.
Fig. 6 zeigt in einer Vertikalschnittdarstellung die Anordnung gemäß Fig. 5. Es ist insbesondere zu erkennen, daß der Kopplungskanal (27) in einen Kammerdeckel (31) einmündet, der einen seitlich überstehenden Flansch (32) aufweist. Im Bereich des Flansches (32) ist eine Dichtung (33) angeordnet, die von einem Innenflansch (34) der Kammerwandung (18) beaufschlagt wird. In einem abgesenkten Zustand der Kammerwandung (18) erfolgt hierdurch eine Abdichtung der Kammerwandung (18) relativ zum Kammerdeckel (31). Eine weitere Dichtung (35) ist in einem unteren Bereich der Kammerwandung (18) angeordnet, um auch hier eine Abdichtung relativ zum Kammerboden (29) zu gewährleisten. FIG. 6 shows the arrangement according to FIG. 5 in a vertical sectional view. It can be seen in particular that the coupling channel ( 27 ) opens into a chamber cover ( 31 ) which has a laterally projecting flange ( 32 ). A seal ( 33 ) is arranged in the area of the flange ( 32 ) and is acted upon by an inner flange ( 34 ) of the chamber wall ( 18 ). In a lowered state of the chamber wall (18) therethrough, a seal is made of the chamber wall (18) relative to the chamber lid (31). A further seal ( 35 ) is arranged in a lower region of the chamber wall ( 18 ) in order to ensure a seal here also relative to the chamber bottom ( 29 ).
In der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Positionierung umschließt die Kammerwandung (18) die Kavität (4), so daß sowohl ein Innenraum der Kavität (4) als auch ein Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) evakuiert werden können. Zur Unterstützung einer Zuleitung von Prozeßgas ist im Bereich des Kammersockels (30) eine hohle Lanze (36) angeordnet, die in den Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) hineinverfahrbar ist. Zur Durchführung einer Positionierung der Lanze (36) wird diese von einem Lanzenschlitten (37) gehaltert, der entlang der Führungsstangen (23) positionierbar ist. Innerhalb des Lanzenschlittens (37) verläuft ein Prozeßgaskanal (38), der in der in Fig. 6 dargestellten angehobenen Positionierung mit einem Gasanschluß (39) des Kammersockels (30) gekoppelt ist. Durch diese Anordnung werden schlauchartige Verbindungselemente am Lanzenschlitten (37) vermieden. In the positioning shown in FIG. 6, the chamber wall ( 18 ) encloses the cavity ( 4 ), so that both an interior of the cavity ( 4 ) and an interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) can be evacuated. To support a supply of process gas, a hollow lance ( 36 ) is arranged in the area of the chamber base ( 30 ) and can be moved into the interior of the workpiece ( 5 ). The lance ( 36 ) is positioned by a lance slide ( 37 ) which can be positioned along the guide rods ( 23 ). A process gas channel ( 38 ) runs inside the lance slide ( 37 ) and, in the raised position shown in FIG. 6, is coupled to a gas connection ( 39 ) of the chamber base ( 30 ). This arrangement avoids hose-like connecting elements on the lance slide ( 37 ).
Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 zeigen die Anordnung gemäß Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 in einem angehobenen Zustand der Kammerwandung (18). In diesem Positionierungszustand der Kammerwandung (18) ist es problemlos möglich, das behandelte Werkstück (5) aus dem Bereich der Plasmastation (3) zu entfernen und ein neues zu behandelndes Werkstück (5) einzusetzen. Alternativ zu der in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Positionierung der Kammerwandung (18) in einem durch Verschiebung nach oben erreichten geöffneten Zustand der Plasmakammer (17) ist es auch möglich, den Öffnungsvorgang durch eine Verschiebung einer konstruktiv modifizierten hülsenförmigen Kammerwandung in vertikaler Richtung nach unten durchzuführen. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show the arrangement of FIG. 5 and FIG 6 in a raised state of the chamber wall (18).. In this position of the chamber wall ( 18 ), it is possible to remove the treated workpiece ( 5 ) from the area of the plasma station ( 3 ) and to insert a new workpiece ( 5 ) to be treated. As an alternative to the positioning of the chamber wall ( 18 ) shown in the drawings in an open state of the plasma chamber ( 17 ) achieved by displacement upwards, it is also possible to carry out the opening process by displacing a structurally modified sleeve-shaped chamber wall downwards in the vertical direction.
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt der Kopplungskanal (27) eine zylinderförmige Gestaltung und ist im wesentlichen koaxial zur Kammerwandung (18) angeordnet. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the coupling channel ( 27 ) has a cylindrical design and is arranged essentially coaxially with the chamber wall ( 18 ).
Fig. 9 zeigt den Vertikalschnitt gemäß Fig. 6 in einer vergrößerten teilweisen Darstellung in einer Umgebung der Kammerwandung (18). Zu erkennen ist insbesondere das Übergreifen des Innenflansches (34) der Kammerwandung (18) über den Flansch (32) des Kammerdeckels (31) und die Halterung des Werkstückes (5) durch das Halteelement (28). Darüber hinaus ist zu erkennen, daß die Lanze (36) durch eine Ausnehmung (40) des Halteelementes (28) hindurchgeführt ist. FIG. 9 shows the vertical section according to FIG. 6 in an enlarged partial illustration in the vicinity of the chamber wall ( 18 ). In particular, the overlap of the inner flange ( 34 ) of the chamber wall ( 18 ) over the flange ( 32 ) of the chamber cover ( 31 ) and the holding of the workpiece ( 5 ) by the holding element ( 28 ). In addition, it can be seen that the lance ( 36 ) is guided through a recess ( 40 ) in the holding element ( 28 ).
Die Fixierung des Werkstückes (5) durch das Halteelement (28) ist in der nochmals vergrößerten Darstellung in Fig. 10 zu erkennen. Das Halteelement (28) ist in eine Führungshülse (41) eingesetzt, die mit einer Federkammer (42) versehen ist. In die Federkammer (42) ist eine Druckfeder (43) eingesetzt, die einen Außenflansch (44) des Halteelementes (28) relativ zur Führungshülse (41) verspannt. The fixation of the workpiece ( 5 ) by the holding element ( 28 ) can be seen in the enlarged illustration in FIG. 10. The holding element ( 28 ) is inserted into a guide sleeve ( 41 ) which is provided with a spring chamber ( 42 ). A compression spring ( 43 ) is inserted into the spring chamber ( 42 ) and clamps an outer flange ( 44 ) of the holding element ( 28 ) relative to the guide sleeve ( 41 ).
In der in Fig. 10 dargestellten Positionierung ist ein an der Lanze (36) montierter Schubteller (45) gegen den Außenflansch (44) geführt und drückt das Halteelement (28) in seine obere Endpositionierung. In dieser Positionierung ist ein Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) gegenüber dem Innenraum der Kavität (4) isoliert. In einem abgesenkten Zustand der Lanze (36) verschiebt die Druckfeder (43) das Halteelement (28) relativ zur Führungshülse (41) derart, daß eine Verbindung zwischen dem Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) und dem Innenraum der Kavität (4) geschaffen ist. In the positioning shown in FIG. 10, a thrust plate ( 45 ) mounted on the lance ( 36 ) is guided against the outer flange ( 44 ) and presses the holding element ( 28 ) into its upper end position. In this positioning, an interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) is insulated from the interior of the cavity ( 4 ). In a lowered state of the lance ( 36 ), the compression spring ( 43 ) displaces the holding element ( 28 ) relative to the guide sleeve ( 41 ) in such a way that a connection between the interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) and the interior of the cavity ( 4 ) is created.
Ein typischer Behandlungsvorgang wird im folgenden am Beispiel eines Beschichtungsvorganges erläutert und derart durchgeführt, daß zunächst das Werkstück (5) unter Verwendung des Eingaberades (11) zum Plasmarad (2) transportiert wird und daß in einem hochgeschobenen Zustand der hülsenartigen Kammerwandung (18) das Einsetzen des Werkstückes (5) in die Plasmastation (3) erfolgt. Nach einem Abschluß des Einsetzvorganges wird die Kammerwandung (18) in ihre abgedichtete Positionierung abgesenkt und zunächst gleichzeitig eine Evakuierung sowohl der Kavität (4) als auch eines Innenraumes des Werkstückes (5) durchgeführt. A typical treatment process is explained below using the example of a coating process and carried out in such a way that the workpiece ( 5 ) is first transported to the plasma wheel ( 2 ) using the input wheel ( 11 ) and that the sleeve-like chamber wall ( 18 ) is inserted in a pushed-up state of the workpiece ( 5 ) into the plasma station ( 3 ). After the insertion process has been completed, the chamber wall ( 18 ) is lowered into its sealed position and, at the same time, both the cavity ( 4 ) and an interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) are evacuated at the same time.
Nach einer ausreichenden Evakuierung des Innenraumes der Kavität (4) wird die Lanze (36) in den Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) eingefahren und durch eine Verschiebung des Halteelementes (28) eine Abschottung des Innenraumes des Werkstückes (5) gegenüber dem Innenraum der Kavität (4) durchgeführt. Ebenfalls ist es möglich, die Lanze (36) bereits synchron zur beginnenden Evakuierung des Innenraumes der Kavität in das Werkstück (5) hinein zu verfahren. Der Druck im Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) wird anschließend noch weiter abgesenkt. Darüber hinaus ist auch daran gedacht, die Positionierbewegung der Lanze (36) wenigstens teilweise bereits parallel zur Positionierung der Kammerwandung (18) durchzuführen. Nach Erreichen eines ausreichend tiefen Unterdruckes wird Prozeßgas in den Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) eingeleitet und mit Hilfe des Mikrowellengenerators (19) das Plasma gezündet. Insbesondere ist daran gedacht, mit Hilfe des Plasmas sowohl einen Haftvermittler auf eine innere Oberfläche des Werkstückes (5) als auch die eigentliche Barriereschicht aus Siliziumoxiden abzuscheiden. After sufficient evacuation of the interior of the cavity (4) the lance (36) is retracted into the interior of the workpiece (5) and by a shift of the holding element (28) a partitioning of the interior of the workpiece (5) relative to the interior of the cavity ( 4 ) performed. It is also possible to move the lance ( 36 ) into the workpiece ( 5 ) synchronously with the beginning of the evacuation of the interior of the cavity. The pressure in the interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) is then further reduced. In addition, the positioning movement of the lance ( 36 ) is at least partially already carried out parallel to the positioning of the chamber wall ( 18 ). After reaching a sufficiently low vacuum, process gas is introduced into the interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) and the plasma is ignited with the aid of the microwave generator ( 19 ). In particular, it is intended to use the plasma to deposit both an adhesion promoter on an inner surface of the workpiece ( 5 ) and the actual barrier layer made of silicon oxides.
Nach einem Abschluß des Beschichtungsvorganges wird die Lanze (36) wieder aus dem Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) entfernt und die Plasmakammer (17) sowie der Innenraum des Werkstückes (5) werden belüftet. Nach Erreichen des Umgebungsdruckes innerhalb der Kavität (4) wird die Kammerwandung (18) wieder angehoben, um eine Entnahme des beschichteten Werkstückes (5) sowie eine Eingabe eines neuen zu beschichtenden Werkstückes (5) durchzuführen. After the coating process has been completed, the lance ( 36 ) is removed from the interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) and the plasma chamber ( 17 ) and the interior of the workpiece ( 5 ) are ventilated. After reaching the ambient pressure within the cavity ( 4 ), the chamber wall ( 18 ) is raised again in order to remove the coated workpiece ( 5 ) and to enter a new workpiece ( 5 ) to be coated.
Alternativ zur erläuterten Innenbeschichtung von Werkstücken (5) können auch Außenbeschichtungen, Sterilisationen oder Oberflächenaktivierungen durchgeführt werden. As an alternative to the described inner coating of workpieces ( 5 ), outer coatings, sterilizations or surface activations can also be carried out.
Eine Positionierung der Kammerwandung (18), des Dichtelementes (28) und/oder der Lanze (36) kann unter Verwendung unterschiedlicher Antriebsaggregate erfolgen. Grundsätzlich ist die Verwendung pneumatischer Antriebe und/oder elektrischer Antriebe, insbesondere in einer Ausführungsform als Linearmotor, denkbar. Insbesondere ist aber daran gedacht, zur Unterstützung einer exakten Bewegungskoordinierung mit einer Rotation des Plasmarades (2) eine Kurvensteuerung zu realisieren. Die Kurvensteuerung kann beispielsweise derart ausgeführt sein, daß entlang eines Umfanges des Plasmarades (2) Steuerkurven angeordnet sind, entlang derer Kurvenrollen geführt werden. Die Kurvenrollen sind mit den jeweils zu positionierenden Bauelementen gekoppelt. The chamber wall ( 18 ), the sealing element ( 28 ) and / or the lance ( 36 ) can be positioned using different drive units. In principle, the use of pneumatic drives and / or electrical drives, in particular in one embodiment as a linear motor, is conceivable. In particular, however, it is contemplated to implement curve control to support exact movement coordination by rotating the plasma wheel ( 2 ). The curve control can be carried out, for example, in such a way that control cams are arranged along a circumference of the plasma wheel ( 2 ), along which curve rollers are guided. The cam rollers are coupled to the components to be positioned.
