Summary:In a vacuum coating installation to coat planar substrates, comprising a vacuum chamber and a transport device arranged in the vacuum chamber for transporting the substrates along a transportation path through the vacuum chamber, with the transport device comprising a multitude of transport rollers arranged successively along the transportation path, each transport roller is adapted to be mounted at least at two different positions, vertically distanced from each other. A carrier frame has a substrate accepting structure and a guiding rod arranged at the bottom of the carrier frame in the direction of transportation to create a friction connection with the transportation device, connected to the carrier frame at the connection points, with the guiding rod being connected at least at one connection point to the carrier frame such that a relative displacement is possible of the guiding rod relative to the carrier frame in the direction of transportation.
