VaporTech VMAX 1500 Industrial PVD Coating System for advanced surface finishing

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.
