VT-1500i: High-Capacity Cathodic Arc System with Optional Magnetron Sputtering

The VT-1500i™ is a high-capacity PVD & DLC coating system with optional magnetron sputtering, designed to deliver robust and precise coatings for diverse industrial applications.

VaporTech VT-1500i PVD coating system for advanced surface finishing, featuring a touchscreen control interface

The VT-1500i™ PVD & DLC coating system with optional magnetron sputtering deposits a broad range of bright and dark metallic colors as well as our diamond-like carbon (DLC) and functional, highly wear-resistant coatings.

The VT-1500i PVD system provides high throughput but in a very compact footprint. This unique system includes both cathodic arc and optional magnetron sputtering technologies in the same machine – up to 3 PVD sources. With the ability to coat parts up to 100 cm long and 10 high-capacity racks, the VT-1500i™ is a high volume, flexible, price-competitive coating system for manufacturers and coating service providers.
