    MILL LANE ENGINEERING REEL COATER

    Reel Coater for Ribbon or Wire The model 412-3 is a two-chamber reel to reel web coater which deposits metal or alloys on wire or ribbon substrates by sputtering from two magnetron targets arranged in a closely spaced book array. Capacity is based upon 4" ID x 12" OD x 3" wide wire/ribbon spools. Wire diameter up to 0.035" (.9mm) may be coated at speeds ranging between 2 and 40 feet per minute depending on the coating thickness desired. Constant wire speed and tension are controlled in conjunction with other parameters which enable unattended operation for extended periods. A second chamber provides plasma pre cleaning prior to entering the sputter zone through a conductance limiting tube which allows different gas compositions and pressures for cleaning and coating.

Buying Guide

Thin Film & Deposition Buying Guide

Choosing the right thin film deposition system depends on several critical factors tailored to your material synthesis needs.

Consider the following when selecting equipment:

  • Evaluate the system's power capabilities, including RF frequency and voltage, to ensure compatibility with your substrates and coating materials.
  • Assess the precision and repeatability of deposition processes, important for applications requiring uniform layer thickness.
  • Identify the types of materials you will be working with and ensure the equipment supports necessary configurations like DC or magnetron targets.
  • Verify system capabilities for process traceability and calibration to meet research or quality control standards.
