SP Series Advanced Magnetron Sputtering System for Cutting Tools

Revolutionizing Tool Performance Through Next-Generation PVD Coating

The SP Series is a state-of-the-art magnetron sputtering Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) system, engineered specifically to meet the extreme demands of the cutting tool industry. It is designed to deposit ultra-hard, wear-resistant, and thermally stable coatings that significantly extend tool life, increase machining speeds, and improve workpiece quality.

The Challenge: Demands of Modern Machining

Modern manufacturing processes, such as high-speed machining (HSM) and dry machining, push cutting tools to their limits. Tools face intense heat, abrasive wear, and adhesive material build-up (built-up edge), leading to premature failure, reduced accuracy, and increased operational costs.

 Our Solution: Precision Engineered Coating Excellence

The SP Series addresses these challenges head-on by applying superior PVD coatings that provide a protective, functional surface, transforming the performance characteristics of your cutting tools.

 Key Features & Technological Advantages

    Unmatched Coating Adhesion: Our proprietary High-Ionization Plasma Source and advanced substrate pre-treatment (including intensive argon ion etching) ensure an atomically clean surface and create a metallurgical bond between the coating and the tool substrate. This prevents delamination and flaking under high-load conditions.

   Ultra-Hard, Wear-Resistant Coatains: Deposit a wide range of advanced coating materials, including:
       TiN (Titanium Nitride): The gold standard for general-purpose wear resistance.
       TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride): Excellent for high-temperature applications, forming a protective alumina layer.
       AlCrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride): Superior oxidation resistance and hardness for the most demanding dry machining operations.
       TiSiN (Titanium Silicon Nitride): Nanocomposite structure providing extreme hardness and lubricity.
       DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon): For non-ferrous materials, offering excellent anti-galling and low-friction properties.

 Technical Specifications

 Chamber Size:  Customizable
 Batch Capacity:  Up to 1,500+ indexable inserts (varies by tooling) 
 Base Pressure:  < 5.0 x 10-4 Pa
 Process Temperature:  300 °C - 550 °C (adjustable) 
 Magnetron Sources:  4 x Balanced, Closed-Field (DC/Pulsed DC) 
 Target Material:  Rectangular, custom sizes available 
 Control System:  Fully Automated PLC with Touchscreen HMI 
 Utilities:  Electrical, Chilled Water, Process Gases (Ar, N₂,C2H2, CH4) 

Benefits for Your Cutting Tools
Dramatically Extended Tool Life: Reduce tooling costs by up to 800% or more. Tools last significantly longer between regrinds.
Increased Machining Speeds & Feeds: Withstand higher temperatures, enabling faster production cycles and improved efficiency.
Improved Surface Finish: Minimize built-up edge and abrasive wear, resulting in superior finish on the machined workpiece.
Enable Dry / Near-Dry Machining: The thermal barrier properties of coatings like AlCrN reduce or eliminate the need for coolants, lowering operational costs and environmental impact.
Enhanced Reliability & Consistency: Achieve predictable, repeatable performance, reducing unplanned downtime and ensuring manufacturing quality.

Applications
The SP Series is ideal for coating a wide array of cutting tools used in:
Milling (Indexable inserts, end mills, face mills)
Drilling (Twist drills, solid carbide drills, gun drills)
Turning (CNC turning inserts, boring tools)
Gear Hobbing & Broaching
Threading & Tapping
