PVD deposition machine OPT-T

thermal evaporationvacuumoptical

Overview
OPT-T is a thermal evaporation optical coating system designed for depositing metallic reflective and decorative films onto plastic substrates such as ABS, PP, PC, TPU and PET. The system uses resistance-heated evaporation sources under vacuum to enable rapid deposition with minimal thermal load on heat-sensitive plastics. Typical applications include automotive headlight components, plastic consumer products and packaging shells. Coating modes supported include metallic mirror, coloured finishes and NCVM (non-conductive) coatings.

Key Benefits

• Resistance-heated evaporation source optimised for fast evaporation of low-melting-point metals.
• Short thermal radiation/exposure time to protect heat-sensitive plastic substrates.
• Supports a range of finishes: chrome-coloured, silver, gold, gunmetal, semi-transparent NCVM and rainbow mirror effects.
• Simplified equipment layout for easier operation and maintenance.

Features

• Resistance-heated thermal evaporation using metal boats or hangers suitable for aluminium, NiCr and silver wire.
• Short thermal exposure profile compatible with ABS, PP, PC, TPU and PET substrates.
• Operating temperature range from room temperature up to 80°C to accommodate sensitive plastics.
• Vertical drum carrier available in 6, 8 or 9 axes for continuous processing; carrier motion: revolution and rotation with stepless variable-frequency speed control.
• Control: touch-screen HMI with PLC; modes: manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic.
• Process gas: Argon. Multiple pump system configurations: mechanical pump, Roots pump, molecular/diffusion pump plus holding pump.
