Products

PVD coatings are typically applied to cutting tools - such as drills or endmills -, molds and dies, and machine components to extend their lifetime. Typical PVD coatings include Titanium nitride (TiN), TiCN, or TiAlN.

Platit manufactures coating units to deposit PVD coatings. Tools or machine components are loaded into a vacuum chamber, and heated to several hundred degrees Celsius to start a process in which metal from cathodes is evaporated and deposited on the substrates. Typically, cathodes are planar (flat), while Platit's LARC process (LAteral Rotated Cathodes) features cylindrical cathodes that have several advantages over the traditional setup, including the ability to deposit smooth coating surfaces and nanocomposite structures [http://platit.com/files/Vacuums_Best.pdf T. Cselle: Application of Coatings for Tooling - Quo Vadis 2005?] , "VIP Vacuum's Best", Wiley Press, 2005.] [http://platit.com/files/PLATIT-Catalog-2008.pdf Compendium 2008 (pdf)] ] .

As Platit's customers are generally small- to medium-size companies, their coating units tend to be smaller in chamber size and capacity than competitor's models, which are often aimed for use in larger operations.
