Key Features of UNIVEX Coating Systems
1. Flexibility & Versatility
UNIVEX supports a wide range of coating technologies:
✔ Magnetron sputtering (DC, RF, pulsed, HiPIMS)
✔ Thermal evaporation (e-beam, resistive)
✔ Ion-assisted deposition (Ion Plating, IBAD)
✔ Hybrid processes (for complex multilayer structures)
A single system can handle diverse applications—from optical and protective coatings to functional layers in microelectronics.
2. High Precision & Repeatability
Integrated thickness control (quartz monitors, optical sensors)
Precise parameter management (pressure, temperature, deposition rate)
Automated process recipes to minimize human error
3. Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
Optimized vacuum system design (fast pumping, low power consumption)
Closed-loop cooling (reduced water usage)
Minimal material waste through precise dosing
4. Modular Architecture
UNIVEX systems can be customized for:
🔹 Lab-scale setups (R&D and prototyping)
🔹 Industrial configurations (high-throughput production)
🔹 Integration into automated lines (robotic loading/unloading)
