Abstract
A guide arrangement () for guiding webs in evacuatable web treatment installations comprises at least one guide roller () with an axis (), whose spatial position is settable. To solve the problem of compensating in modular installations with several chambers either misalignments of the chambers relative to one another and/or to avoid completely adjustable roller frames, whose adjustment would require the repositioning of treatment and coating sources and of separating gaps on the circumference of coating rollers, the invention proposes that the guide roller () is supported between two pivot bearings (), of which at least one is adjustable relative to the other transversely to the axis (). This is preferably carried out thereby that the adjustable pivot bearing () comprises a slide guide (), fastened to a chamber wall (), on which a slide () with the pivot bearing () is guided, and that the adjustable pivot bearing () comprises a remotely operated adjustment drive ().
