Apparatus for transporting substrates to and from at least one device (1) for holding substrates (2), the at least one device having a substrate support (5) disposed in a vacuum chamber (4, 4', 4"). The apparatus includes at least one displaceably disposed gripper (75), which can be displaced by a mechanical and/or electro-magnetically or magnetically operating positioning device (130) between a substrate gripping position and a substrate release position, and a centering device (157, 157', 161) for centering a substrate relative to the substrate support in conjunction with transport of the substrate by the apparatus to the substrate support.
