The inventive device comprises a burner (24) for injecting a coating substance, said burner (24) being received by a positioning device (22) in such at way that it can be positioned in at least one direction; a rotatingly driveable rotary plate (14) on which a receiving element (40) is provided for a workpiece (34) and which can be positioned in relation to the burner (24) by means of a guide device (32). The guide device (32) comprises at least one first linear guide (42, 43) with a first drive device for positioning the element (40) receiving the workpiece, in addition to at least one second linear guide (44, 45) with a second drive device for positioning a balancing weight (46, 47). The first and second drive devices (48, 49, 50, 51) are driven in opposite directions, thereby ensuring mass balancing when a workpiece is displaced. In order to ensure continuous removal of the overspray, the rotary plate (14) is provided with an opening (17) in the region of the axis of rotation, which can be associated with a suction device (38).

According to the invention, an electroconductive material is sprayed onto the substrate (14), by means of thermal spraying, preferably by means of plasma spraying, using a torch (18), the torch (18) and the substrate (14) being displaceable in relation to each other. The geometric form or the longitudinal direction of the strip conductor (16, 17) produced and/or the electroconductivity of said strip conductor (16, 17) can be topically varied by adapting the spraying parameters and/or the relative speed or direction of the torch (18) in relation to the substrate (14) and vice versa in a targeted manner during the spraying process.

[Rainer Gadow, Andreas Killinger, Christian Friedrich, Chuanfei Li, Karsten Wermbter] DE Aschau am Inn The invention relates to a ceramic cooktop comprising a cooking plate (12) made of glass ceramic or glass. The ceramic cooktop also comprises an electrical heat conductor layer (18), an insulating layer (16) that is located between the cooking plate (12) and the heat conductor layer (18), and an electrically conductive intermediate layer (14) between the cooking plate (12) and the insulating layer (16). The intermediate layer (14) is a thermally sprayed layer consisting of an electrically conductive ceramic material, preferably of an oxide layer that is rendered electrically conductive by oxygen loss occurring during thermal spraying, or of a cermet.
