The Pi1511 is a large volume PVD coating unit. It combines three rotating PLATIT LARC® XL cathodes in the door with two planar arc cathodes in the back of the chamber.
The combination of round cathodes with high performance planar cathodes allows for the deposition of selected PLATIT Signature Coatings with the usual flexibility. The LARC® XL cathodes have a very long run time and thus guarantee high productivity with low cost per coating.
Technology
