xPro – 2500 HiParc
Vacuum Hard Coating System with HiParc*-Technology and PDA III**-Technology
The PVT xPro – 2500 HiParc is the most advanced industrial large size vacuum coating system which includes the newly developed, industrially proven HiParc-Technology with multiple large area arc evaporators.
Design and construction of the system especially meet the requirements for coating cylindrical type shaped or racked tools, such as broaches up to 2.3 m total length, hobs, shaper cutters, shank type tools etc.
It is specifically designed for the deposition of high performance metallurgical coatings, such as titanium nitride (TiN), titanium carbo-nitride (TiC,N) and aluminium titaniumnitride (AlTiN), aluminium chromium nitride (AlCrN), Si-doped coatings (TiSiN, AlTiSiN, AlCrSiN, AlTiCrSiN) and many others.
The PVT xPro – 2500 HiParc is characterized by:
- Robust system designed for the rigorous production environment using sophisticated vacuum coating technologies.
- Rugged construction marked by an extremely advanced highly refined design.
- Extreme reliability based on intelligent straightforward design and construction.
- The broadest spectrum of coatings and coating technology available in a single system at the lowest possible cost.
- Fully automatic, computer controlled, closed loop process control providing process repeatability, reliability and a user-friendly environment.
- The coatings industry´s first „Plug and Play“ deposition system. No costly add-ons required.
- The coating industry’s broadest capabilities in the smallest footprint.
- Profitable runs available the same day the system arrives, quick and simple installation.
