xPro-M3 Vacuum Hard Coating System


with new HiParc +PDA III*-Technology
 

Product Overview

The xPro-M3 is the most advanced industrial medium size vacuum coating system, which includes the PDA*-technology. It is specifically designed for the deposition of high performance metallurgical coatings, 

such as AlCrSiN, AlTiSiN, AlCrN, AlTiN, CrN, TiC, N, TiN and many others.  Such coatings are evaporated by arc onto a variety of cutting tools, dies and moulds, components and consumer products for wear, erosion andcorrosion protection as well as tribological purposes.
The xPro-M3 is also in a“pulsed” high power version as xPro-M3H available (HiParc**),  where the technology and power supply package enables faster depositon rates, shorter cycle times and significantly improved target utilisation.
 

The xPro-M3 is characterized by:

  • • Robust system designed for the rigorous production, environment using sophisticated vacuum coating technologies.
  • • Rugged construction marked by an extremely advanced highly refined design.
  • • Extreme reliability based on intelligent straightforward design and construction.
  • • The broadest spectrum of coatings andcoating technology available in a single system at the lowest possible cost.
  • • Fully automatic, computer controlled, closed loop process control providing process repeatability, reliability and a user-friendly environment.
  • • The coating industry's broadest capabilities in the smallest footprint
