Product catalog summary
Introduction
This technical document discusses the challenges faced by large corporations from central administrations and innovative start-ups. It highlights the role of Platit in supporting start-ups with advanced coating systems to compete against major tool manufacturers.

Coating Systems and Technologies
The document introduces a new coating plant equipped with LARC® (Lateral Rotating Cathodes) technology, which allows start-ups to begin production with manageable costs. The system can be expanded with high-performance options like DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) and CERC® (Central Rotating Cathode) to enhance productivity.

Technological Advancements
After EMO 2017, machines will feature new pulsed lateral cathodes LARC®PLUS, increasing deposition rates and target lifetimes. The document details several machine upgrades aimed at reducing production time, such as preheaters, lightweight carousels, and new software.

Coating Options and Applications
The document describes various coating options like LACS® (Lateral Arcing & Central Sputtering) and SCiL® (Sputtered Coating induced by Lateral Glow Discharge), which offer revolutionary advantages in coating technology. It also discusses the OXI option for SMEs to deposit oxide films.

Coating Performance
Several coatings are highlighted for their performance in specific applications, such as CROMVIc®2 for machining titanium alloys and nACoX® for dry high-performance machining. The document also covers the programmability of coating stoichiometry, allowing customization for different applications.

Conclusion
The document concludes by emphasizing the flexibility and suitability of the new coating systems for both small and medium-sized enterprises and larger enterprises engaged in coating development.

High performance i sputtering i ' for smooth ' surfaces / Option for oxide coatings with high chemical and thermal isolation The highest dangers for the big corporations (you must not necessarily think of the Apples and Googles) come from two different directions: - From the central administrations (governments, EU, IRS, OECD, etc.), which pay attention to tax breaks, data protection and monopoly proceedings, as well as - From the small, innovative start-ups they...

Fig. 3: Typical Coatings of the Options of the 7[****tt". - The OXI option builds on the configuration It was developed pri marily for SMEs, which cannot afford CVD plants and which want to deposit oxide films themselves in small series. - With the SCiL® option (Sputtered Coating induced by Lateral Glow Discharge), a sputtering cathode is placed into the central position, which allows a high deposition rate for smooth high-perfomance layers [3]. The technology blows on attacking the conventional, but still so often used, ionitron (eBeam) coatings. - The LACS® option (LAteral Arcing & Central...

They are used to deposit the LACS® versions of the conventional layers, such as AlTiN-LACS®, AlCrN-LACS®, CrTiN-LACS®. They have ARC qualities with fewer droplets. However, they can also be constructed from thermally poorly conductive materials (e.g., B4C, TiB2, SiC, W). This type of "doping"...

Schmalkalden, Germany [1], and thus achieves a higher tool life than the TiCN, produced by the ioni-tron process (Fig. 4) - Due to the good avoidance of built up edges, TiB2 is the classic layer for aluminum machining. What is the goal of the LACS® option with the simultaneous combination of ARCing and sputtering? Of course, the using of their advantages: •ARCing: perfect layer-adhesion, -density, -hardness, -structure and...
