Abstract
The apparatus has a processing chamber in which a workpiece is processed with a processing tool. Additionally an introducing device is provided as part of the processing chamber wall, being disposed such that a closed space is formed at least during processing of the workpiece in the processing chamber. Additionally one disposes on the introducing device at least one workpiece holder that is rotatable by a drive about a rotation axis in the workpiece plane and is moved in or out of the processing chamber by the introducing device.
Claims22
An apparatus configured for processing flat, card-shaped workpieces, comprising:
- a processing tool (12);
- a processing chamber (10) in which a flat, card-shaped workpiece (30, 40) is processed by the processing tool (12), the processing chamber (10) having a wall;
- an introducing device (20) configured as part of the wall of the processing chamber (10) and disposed such that the processing chamber (10) forms a closed space at least during processing of the flat, card-shaped workpiece (30) in the processing chamber (10);
- and
- at least one workpiece holder (31) positioned on the introducing device (2) which holds the flat, card-shaped workpiece to be processed, the at least one workpiece holder (31) rotatable by a drive (34) about a rotation axis (d.sub.1) in the workpiece plane, the at least one workpiece holder (31) arranged to hold only on one side of the flat, card-shaped workpiece in the direction defined by the rotation axis (d.sub.1) and to be moved in or out of the processing chamber (10) by the introducing device (20).
