Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de collage pour substrat de panneau plat, dans lequel les deux panneaux de support (1, 2) sont déplacés de manière réglable, l'un par rapport à l'autre, dans des directions XYυ, par le biais d'un moyen (8) de déplacement de positionnement, disposé à l'extérieur d'un espace clos (S), tout en maintenant l'espace clos (S) dans un état de vide, en maintenant des espaces entre les pièces à rebord périphérique (1a, 2a) des deux plateaux de support (1, 2), en état d'étanchéité, par le biais d'un moyen d'étanchéité de déplacement (4), de sorte que le moyen (5) de réglage de positionnement est déplacé dans la même direction, pour positionner les deux substrats (A, B) l'un par rapport à l'autre, et que l'espace situé entres les pièces à rebord périphériques (1a, 2a) des deux plateaux de support (1, 2) est maintenu à une distance spécifiée, grâce à la grande rigidité du moyen de réglage de positionnement (5) dans la direction Z, une résistance de support appliquée sur le moyen d'étanchéité de déplacement (4) pouvant être maintenue à une valeur correcte, et les deux substrats pouvant être déplacés en douceur pour un alignement à partir de l'extérieur, dans la direction XYυ, dans le vide, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'avoir recours à un étage XYυ.
