VT-1000i™ System

Overview

The VT-1000i™ System is a compact PVD & PECVD/DLC coating machine designed for easy operation that offers durable color, functional coatings, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings. Its compact rack design can deposit a wide range of durable decorative and functional PVD finishes on metal or plated parts, including some plastics, and can coat large parts up to 100 cm long. System footprint: 3.4m x 1.6m; coating area per batch: 4.79m2; number of racks: 6; rack size: 100cm x 25.4cm Ø. The source text also states a footprint of 1.6m x 3.6m (5.2 ft. x 11.9 ft.) and a coated area capacity of 4.8m2(51.7sq ft.). Coating technologies include Low-temperature cathodic arc vapor deposition (LTAVD®); coating processes include Physical vapor deposition (PVD) and Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to create diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings; available coatings include pure, alloyed, or reacted zirconium, titanium, chromium, and carbon. The VT-1000i system is suitable for both small and higher-volume applications, and many parts per batch produce a low cost per part and a fast return on investment. It coats industrial and consumer products including plumbing and home hardware products (faucets and doorknobs), medical, surgical, and orthopedic devices, automotive parts, precision components, tools and tooling, molds and dies, blades, and firearms. The VT-1000i system enables applying the same hard, durable PVD or DLC finishes, which were previously only available to high-volume manufacturing operations, right in your facility.
