Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021089735A1] The invention relates to a loading and unloading device (7) for a substrate hopper (2), wherein the substrate hopper (2) comprises a plurality of drawers (3) into each of which a plurality of substrates (4) can be inserted for storage or temporary storage, having at least one controllable conveyor belt (8) on which substrates (4) can be deposited and having at least one controllable gripper arm (11) which is designed to insert substrates (4) from the conveyor belt (8) into a drawer (3) of the substrate hopper or to pull substrates out of the drawer (3) onto the conveyor belt (8), wherein the conveyor belt (8) and the gripper arm (11) are arranged on a common and movably mounted carrier (17). According to the invention, the gripper arm (11) is at least substantially arranged below the conveyor belt (8) in order to grip a substrate (4) from below and a movable vacuum gripper (18) is arranged above the conveyor belt (8), which movable vacuum gripper is designed to grip a substrate (4) in the substrate hopper (2) or on the conveyor belt (8) from above and to move said substrate.
