It carries the substrate to be coated and ensures that the product can be stably maintained in the proper position during the coating process. However, the base frame structures for vacuum coating machines commonly found on the market are mostly fixed designs. Since the angle of the substrate cannot be adjusted during the coating process, the uniformity and integrity of the coating are often limited. In particular, for substrates with complex shapes or large sizes, fixed base frames are difficult to meet their full range of coating needs, so there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
