Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides technical specifications and features of the Ascent AMS DC Power Supplies by Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. These power supplies are designed to deliver stable and repeatable power under extreme arc conditions, enhancing film quality and throughput in manufacturing processes.

Specifications
  • Input Power: 400, 440, or 480 VAC (±10%), 50/60 Hz
  • Output Power: 30, 40, or 60 kW
  • Output Voltage: Up to 1000 V
  • Ignition Voltage: 800 to 1200 V

Key Features
  • High film quality and throughput with reduced damage to film, substrate, and equipment.
  • Stable power delivery under extreme arcing conditions.
  • Easy integration and control with various communication protocols including Ethernet and Profibus.

Arc Management System™ Technology
This proprietary technology ensures film quality and repeatability by handling arcs automatically, reducing the need for manual adjustments. It includes primary and secondary arc responses to manage power and minimize damage.

Arc Sync Technology
Designed for multi-cathode systems, this technology synchronizes the arc responses of up to 12 connected units, enhancing coordination and efficiency.

Set Point Compensation™ Technology
This patented algorithm improves power delivery repeatability by adjusting power output to compensate for arc shutdowns, maintaining a consistent sputter rate.

General Specifications
  • Output Current: Up to 120 A
  • Min Output Current: 1 A at 400 W, 2 A at 600 W
  • Weight: Approximately 61.5 kg (136 lb)
  • Mounting: Rack mountable, 6U height
  • Cooling: Air temperature max 40°C, water temperature max 35°C
