PVD Coatings Technology
An example of a magnetron sputtering vacuum coating machine
Most commercially available magnetron sputtering vacuum coating machines utilise at least 4 magnetrons, 2/3 fold rotation systems and fully computerised control. Pumps are fitted to enable a vacuum 1/1000000th of atmospheric pressure to be achieved.
In many business sectors it is now economically advantageous for companies to purchase their own turn key vacuum coating systems and coat in-house, not only reducing unit cost but also slashing turnaround times.
