OverviewThe LEYBOLD OPTICS CCS series is a family of vacuum thin-film coating systems with a compact footprint designed for antireflective, fashion and mirror coatings on ophthalmic lenses. Depending on model and configuration the systems process approximately 50 to 200 pairs of lenses per 8 h, suitable for small and mid-size coating labs.
Key benefits- Scalable modular concept: start with a lower initial investment and add upgrades as production volume and product variety increase.
- Optimized for small to mid-size production: supports processes from broadband anti-reflection to mirror coatings with typical throughput of 50–200 pairs/8 h.
- Consistent coating technology: CCS shares the same coating processes and core components used in larger LEYBOLD OPTICS systems, ensuring comparable layer quality.
Highlight featuresModular technology — Upgrades down the lineUpgrades are available for electron-beam gun performance, cryogenic refrigeration and chamber hydrophobic coating functionality, enabling capacity and functionality increases over time.
Top-loader design — Ergonomic operationThe top-loader concept simplifies loading and handling and allows switching between standard full-dome production and automatic flip-over operation within seconds.
Optional components — Flexible system for a broad range of applications- Two types of substrate holders
- Automatic flip-over lens carrier
- Interchangeable domes for different lens diameters
Other features- Cylindrical process chamber — Proven layout for simplified maintenance and fast removal of protection shields for cleaning.
- Proprietary process devices and layer stacks — Selection of electron-beam guns, thermal evaporators, ion sources and validated process recipes or tailored solutions.
- Remote support — Network connectivity for remote analysis, extensive data logging and remote software updates.
- Upgrade path — Upgrade options from CCS 610 to CCS 610+ and CCS 700 to match growing production needs.
