alpha200 PVD Coating System

General Characteristics
The catchy visualization and a computerized process control ensure easy operation of the plant and a reproducible and high quality standard.

• smaller coating centres as low budget machine
• in the R&D department of tool manufacturer as experimental machine
• in research departments of universities as laboratory machine
• in the production line of OEM manufactures as a supplement to high throughput coating systems

Technology
The process technology allows the deposition of mono- and multi-layers as well as structured layering systems. The SPCS upgrade is optional.
The following thin films can be deposited economically and in high quality:

• All standard layers like TiN, TiCN, CrN, ZrN, CrCN, TiALN, AiTiN and state-of-the-art hard coating like EXXTRAL, VARIANTA, VARIANTIC, SUPRAL and KORAL
• Nano-structured layers like EXXTRAL PLUS, EXXTRAL PLUS/EXX, EXTRAL silver, TIGRAL and SISTRAL
• WC/C (lubricating) coating deposition by arc evaporators

Technique
High quality and reliable components are important attributes of the new alpha200. The robust and industrial-suited components reduce not only the maintenance and spare parts requirements but also minimize the failure probability of the coating system.

Charging System
The easy loading system will allow an optimal, reliable and safe function for the operator.

Maintenance and Service
Low maintenance requirements and good access to all components are just two of the advantages of this system concept.
Troubleshooting is done through on-screen failure analysis as well as remote control access through a local network or internet.
