VT-1000iSystem: Easy-to-Operate, Compact PVD & DLC Coating Machine

The VT-1000i™ system is a compact PVD & PECVD/DLC coating machine designed for easy operation. It offers durable color, functional coatings, and diamond-like carbon coatings.

VaporTech coating equipment

The small VT-1000i™ coating machine is the right-sized PVD and DLC coating system for customers who previously considered thin-film coating systems too complicated or expensive. Differentiate your product by applying the same hard, durable PVD or DLC finishes, which were previously only available to high-volume manufacturing operations, right in your facility.

 

The compact 6-rack design of this small PVD coating machine can deposit a wide range of durable decorative and functional PVD finishes on metal or plated parts, including some plastics. The VT-1000i system is suitable for both small and higher-volume applications, and many parts per batch means a low cost per part and a fast return on investment.
