PVD deposition machine MD800 PLUS

Product overview
MD800 PLUS is a high-capacity arc ion plating system engineered for industrial cutting-tool coating lines. The system integrates multi-arc ion plating with WET lateral hot filament etching to enable batch processing of inserts, end mills, drills and hobbing tools. It provides consistent adhesion, reproducible coating quality and wide process compatibility for demanding production environments.

Key benefits

• Large loading capacity suited to higher-volume, daily batch production.
• Eight arc sources for high deposition rate and uniform coatings.
• Strong process compatibility across milling, drilling, turning and hobbing tool families.
• Accessible maintenance design with optimized arc source layout to reduce service time.

Applications

• Indexable inserts (e.g. APMT1135)
• End mills and solid round tools
• Drills
• Hobbing and gear cutting tools
• Industrial batch coating centers for cutting tools (milling, turning, drilling, hobbing)
