Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for producing optical data carriers using substrates. The substrates are transported by a linear transport system, which operates in a stepwise fashion, from injection molding machines via processing stations to drying stations. To shorten the processing time for the substrates, the transport device (walking beam) is operated with a sequence of single and double or multiple steps.
Claims7
A method for producing optical data carriers with first and second substrates produced in two injection molding machines, said method comprising the steps of transporting the first and second substrates from the injection molding machines by a single linear transport system, which operates in a step-wise fashion, to a first processing station for processing the first substrates, to a second processing station for processing the second substrates, and to at least one third processing station for further processing the first and second substrates, wherein the transport system is operated by a sequence of single, double or multiple steps.
A device for transporting substrates for producing optical data carriers made of two substrates produced by two injection molding machines, comprising a linear transport system operating stepwise for transporting the substrates from the injection molding machines to a first processing station, in which the first substrates are processed, to a second processing station, in which the second substrates are processed, to at least one additional processing station, in which the substrates are further processed, wherein the transport system is configured for operation with a sequence of single and double or multiple steps.
