PVD coating machines and plant consultancy

We supply PVD coating systems and install them on site. We work with two core technologies. Cathodic arc gives high ionisation and fast deposition, and is strong for hard functional and decorative coatings. Magnetron sputter gives smoother, more uniform, controlled thin films, and is preferred for large surfaces and precision work.

We size the system to the type of part, the target coatings and the production volume. Most plants use arc and sputter together. What we deliver is not only the machine: it covers installation, commissioning and operator training, so the line is handed over production ready.

A vacuum system only works if it is leak free. Even the smallest leak lowers vacuum quality, coating repeatability and energy efficiency. With a helium mass spectrometer (helium leak detector) we precisely find leaks in the vacuum chamber, flanges, seals, feed lines and feedthroughs.

We can carry out helium leak detection both on your existing line on site and in our workshop. We locate the leak points, report them and advise on the fix. We use the same method for commissioning a newly installed line and for the periodic check of a running line.

Most machine suppliers do not coat, and most coaters do not build machines. We have done both for ten years: we run PVD coating in our own workshop while we also install machines, carry out leak detection and give plant consultancy. That is why, when we design a line, we know what that line actually produces and where it will struggle.

We keep our references within client confidentiality, and we clarify the scope and fit of your project in a technical review. Tell us your part, your target coatings and your production volume, and we will set out the right technology, the feasibility and the investment road map.
