Oerlikon Balzers Coating Services

Nothing goes without fixtures

Correct loading and fixturing of tools and components are basic requirements for successful and economic coating processes as well as outstanding coatings.

Here, too, it is our many years of experience in running coating centers that places Oerlikon Balzers in a position to offer tried and tested standard solutions for tools and components of any shape or size or to develop customer-specific accessories. There are many details to be taken into account, all with a decisive influence on the quality and reproducibility of the coatings:

•	process- and chamber-compatible loading
•	faultless operation of mechanical parts and magnets (axis rotation, process temperatures up to 500 °C, operation in a vacuum)
•	influence of ancillary materials on the vacuum and electrical behaviour
•	guaranteeing uniform distribution of coating thickness and homogeneous coating structure
•	accessibility of the surfaces to be coated to the process
•	minimal mass to shorten heating and cooling times

Patented design, strict quality controls and special pre-treatment guarantee that the mechanical components and magnets function reliably.

Contact us for rapid availability of fixtures, spacers, magnets, cover plates, cleaning baskets and transport containers. Also the development of a customer-specific fixture is possible.
