Abstract

See full text

A transport mechanism for disk-shaped workpieces has a horizontally movable transport arm with two elongated carrying elements at one end, for receiving the workpiece. A cassette which includes a comb structure at each side for receiving several workpieces, is inserted free of contact between two adjacent combs with workpieces therein for vertically lifting a workpiece. The carrying elements are disposed such that during a cassette engagement they are each positioned substantially adjacent and parallel to the comb structure along a comb, and that in this region along and between two adjacent comb planes on one side of the cassette, a scanning beam is provided for workpiece acquisition, and that the scanning beam is relatively height-positionable with respect to the cassette. The scanning beam is tilted about a small angle with respect to the horizontal workpiece plane.
