A processing station for two-dimensional substrates including at least two processing units and at least two conveyor lines for substrates arranged in parallel to another, wherein both the processing units are placed between the two conveyor lines, and an arrangement for moving the substrates from the conveyor lines to the processing units and back is provided. The arrangement includes four linear conveyor units each having at least one substrate support, wherein a first linear conveyor unit leads from the second conveyor line to the first processing unit, a second linear conveyor unit leads from the first conveyor line to the first processing unit, a third linear conveyor unit leads from the first conveyor line to the second processing unit, and a fourth linear conveyor unit leads from the second conveyor line to the second processing unit.

Processing station for planar substrates and method for processing planar substrates

A method of conveying imprint material and a printing table for a flatbed printing machine are described. The method of conveying imprint material, particularly solar cell wafers, in and out of a processing area of a flatbed printing machine includes the steps of moving the imprint material by means of a conveyor belt on a first conveyor belt section into the processing area, processing the imprint material and further moving the imprint material on the first conveyor belt section out of the processing area. An automatic checking of the first conveyor belt section for soiling or damage takes place and, as a function of the checking result, a moving-back of the first conveyor belt section into the processing area or a moving of a second conveyor belt section into the processing area takes place.
