Abstract
A machine for coating a transparent substrate for the production of display screens comprises a coating chamber that has a modular design. Each of the modulesfeatures a chamber section, a first supportthat is arranged removably in or at the chamber section, and a second supportthat is arranged removably at the first support. Whereas the first supportbears the cathodes, the second supportis formed as a cover at which are arranged the pumps for producing a vacuum in the coating chamber. Carriersandcan be removed laterally from the chamber sectionto such an extent that areasaccessible to persons can be formed between the module components. In this way, the components of the machine are readily accessible, for example for maintenance purposes. Work can be done simultaneously on the cathodes and in the chamber interior.
