PVD Multi-Arc Ion Plating Equipment: High-Performance Coating Solution for Industrial & Medical Applications
Are you seeking a reliable physical vapor deposition (PVD) solution to enhance product durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal? Our PVD multi-arc ion plating equipment integrates advanced vacuum coating technology, delivering superior film adhesion, uniform deposition, and versatile performance across diverse industries. Designed for batch production and small-batch customization, this equipment is the ultimate choice for decorative coating, hard protective film deposition, and functional surface modification.
Working Principle
Operating under high-vacuum conditions, our multi-arc ion plating machine utilizes self-sustaining arc discharge between the cathode target (titanium, chromium, zirconium, or alloy materials) and anode . High current density generates localized Joule heat, causing explosive plasmaization of target materials. Metal ions are accelerated toward the substrate surface via electric field force, reacting with process gases (Ar, N₂, O₂, C₂H₂) to form high-quality compound coatings . The combination of plasma bombardment and precise parameter control ensures exceptional film density, adhesion, and resistance to wear, corrosion, and oxidation .
Key Features & Technical Advantages
- Efficient Coating Performance: Equipped with 2-10 arc cathodes (customizable), enabling rapid deposition and high batch turnover efficiency . Optional DC/MF sputtering cathodes expand coating material compatibility.
- Precision Control System: PLC + touchscreen/IPC automation allows real-time adjustment of vacuum level, arc current (30-200A), gas flow, substrate temperature, and bias voltage . Multi-channel gas mass flow controllers (MFC) support flexible gas mixing (3-1 or 2-2 channels) for custom film properties .
- Superior Film Quality: Upgraded arc cathodes minimize droplet formation, resulting in smooth, dense coatings with ultra-high oxidation resistance and red hardness . Planetary workpiece holders with 1-20 rpm rotation ensure uniform film thickness on complex-shaped parts .
- Safety & Reliability: Integrated water-electricity separation design, multi-level interlock protection, and CE-certified electrical cabinets guarantee operator safety and equipment stability . Cooling circulation systems prevent overheating during long-term operation .
- Space-Saving & Cost-Effective: Compact footprint (e.g., L3000W3000H2000mm for RTAC1000 model) suits small-to-large production facilities . Low energy consumption (average 30KW) and minimal waste reduce operational costs .
