The V.MAX1500™ Flexible Industrial PVD Coating System Deposits Durable Coatings In-House
The newest addition to our VaporTech® coating systems is a batch PVD coater designed specifically for manufacturers’ needs in industrial cutting and forming tools, precision-engineered components, automotive/aerospace parts, medical devices, and other components that can benefit from improved durability, reduced friction, and extended product longevity.
The VaporTech V.MAX1500 PVD system
- A combination of up to 6 wall-mounted cathodic arc and/or magnetron sputtering sources for ultimate flexibility and speed.
- Deposits a broad range of functional PVD coating materials—including Ti, Cr, and Zr nitrides, carbides and carbonitrides, high-temperature Al alloy coatings, and diamond-like-carbon (DLC)—all in the same system.
- Both low-temperature and high-temperature deposition options for many coatings.
- Plasma nitriding plus PVD in the same chamber.
- Fast and flexible loading/unloading with 6 to 12 rack positions on a removable turntable.
- Deposits our broad range of durable and decorative PVD colors.
The V.MAX1500 PVD and DLC coating system includes the following key capabilities:
Efficient
