PL711 HiPIMS 3D Unit
The PL711 is a compact SPUTTER coating unit based on HiPIMS technology. It’s equipped with two Planar HiPIMS cathodes and allows for the deposition of selected nitride as well as carbon-based coatings using highly productive processes. Efficient plasma utilization is achieved through an additional booster, the PLATIT 3D module.
Coatings from the PL711 provide outstandingly smooth surfaces with a high density, hardness and excellent adhesion.
