The invention discloses a multipurpose metal film layer vacuum coating production line. The production line comprises an inlet chamber, an inlet buffer chamber, an inlet conveying chamber, a sputtering chamber, an outlet conveying chamber, an outlet buffer chamber, an outlet chamber and a quality inspection chamber, wherein the inlet chamber, the inlet buffer chamber, the inlet conveying chamber,the sputtering chamber, the outlet conveying chamber, the outlet buffer chamber and the outlet chamber are connected in sequence; transferring rollers connected with each other are arranged in the inlet chamber, the inlet buffer chamber, the inlet conveying chamber, the sputtering chamber, the outlet conveying chamber, the outlet buffer chamber and the outlet chamber; a film coating quality inspection roller and a quality inspection system are arranged in the quality inspection chamber; the transferring roller in the outlet chamber is connected with the film coating quality inspection roller;and the transferring rollers and the film coating quality inspection roller are used for transferring a film coating substrate. According to the multipurpose metal film layer vacuum coating productionline, mass and low-cost production of various coatings are achieved with high sputtering deposition rate and strong process universality; an element diffusion path is short with no intermediate product and no element evaporation, so that the preparation speed and the efficiency are high, the yield is 95% or above, and the production line is particularly suitable for large-scale industrial production.
