In-line Coater


01/01/2000







The Swift-Kote coater is said to provide rapid cycle coating of 3-D substrates in a single, 60-second cycle. It has a vertical chamber. The substrates are rotated on a vertical axis for a uniform, high-quality coating, and the fixturing can reportedly be changed in seconds to accommodate different product configurations. The special double-door design is said to speed processing by allowing batch loading and metallization simultaneously, eliminating wait time between cycles and thereby increasing throughput 11/2 to 2 times.
