Our Arc Evaporation PVD Coating System is a next‑generation physical vapor deposition furnace designed for industrial‑scale production of ultra‑hard, dense, and highly adhesive coatings. Using cathodic arc evaporation technology, this system delivers exceptional ionization efficiency (up to 90%), enabling superior coating properties compared to conventional sputtering or evaporation methods.
Ideal for cutting tools, molds, automotive components, decorative hardware, and medical devices, our PVD furnace ensures consistent, repeatable results with minimal environmental impact — a true turnkey solution for high‑end surface engineering.
Advantages:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| High Ionization Rate (80–90%) | Produces extremely dense, smooth coatings with outstanding hardness (2,000–4,000 HV) and adhesion strength (HF1–HF2). |
| Multiple Arc Sources | Configurable with 4, 8, or 12 arc cathodes for uniform deposition on complex 3D parts. |
| Advanced Filtered Arc Technology (optional) | Removes macro‑particles for mirror‑finish decorative coatings. |
| Fast Cycle Time | Typical process: 2–5 hours, significantly increasing throughput. |
| Wide Material Compatibility | Deposit TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, CrN, AlCrN, DLC, ZrN, and more. |
| User‑Friendly HMI | PLC + touchscreen control with recipe management, data logging, and remote monitoring. |
| Eco‑Friendly | Closed‑loop water cooling, no liquid waste, low power consumption (30–80 kW depending on chamber size). |
