DESIGN
Comprehensive user interface allow experimental freedom in formulation of coating recipes. Integration of primary coating elements allows for high reproducibility between each coating run and high comparability between coated devices as well as optimal production batch quality. The Slot Die bridge is build with attention to precision mounting and easy positioning of Slot Die head over substrate mounts on a rigid and vibration damping base. The vacuum chuck travels on a precision rail system and in combination with the attention to detail this system provides a versatile and robust tool for upscaling.

MECHANICS
The system comes with a choice of manual or automatic positioning of the Slot Die and manual or the motorized programed height and side shift adjustment with resolution of 1µm. Coating speed between 0.05 to 5.0 m/min (step-less). Parallelism setting and Slot Die lip straightness <1% provides precise material deposition. Cross and along web positioning to <100µm. Options : automatic, laboratory, slot-die Applications : for OPV research, for pharmaceutical applications, for conductive film, for battery research, for lithium-ion battery, for functional materials, for smart materials, for touch screen film, for additive manufacturing, for solar cells, for conductive foils, for electrode coating, for membrane coating, for sensors, for solid-state battery, for photovoltaic applications
