Reel-to-reel PVD The high-productivity ReelCoater™ PVD (physical vapor deposition) system for reel-to-reel coating of metal strips opens a new world of surface treatment opportunities.

Cost efficient and environmentally sustainable replacement of plating The ReelCoater system is designed for the special needs of the electrical component industry. It allows a new world of coating materials for electronics and addresses the environmental challenges of today’s manufacturing lines. FLEXIBLE, EFFICIENT AND EASY TO INTEGRATE The ReelCoater is designed for PVD coating of metal Apart from coating materials, the system only requires strips reel-to-reel. It can be set up to handle plain flat electrical power, cooling water, compressed air, Argon strip, as well as stamped strip with...
