Research Laboratory Coater Customizer
1. Platform
The Research Laboratory Coater has a small foot print and present an open platform that is easily adaptable to all the great experiments that have not been carried out yet. You can fit them almost everywhere in the lab, in the fume cupboard, on the bench and in the glovebox.
2. Mounting System
Depending on the mounting system, the coating position can be adjusted either manually using adjustment knobs or electronically with motorized controls operated via software.
Manual positioning of the slot-die head, bar coater, knife coater or flexo roller. Watch video here.
Software control of the coating position with 3-axis motion control (side registration, up/down, fwd/rev). Watch video here.
3. Base Plate
The Research Laboratory Coater includes an integrated hot plate for drying thin films and offers options such as a standard hot plate (up to 90 °C), high-temperature hot plate (up to 140 °C), or heated vacuum chuck (up to 90 °C). The vacuum chuck provides precise workholding with minimal deformation and features a diamond-milled surface for uniform coating and drying.
The Research Laboratory Coater includes an integrated hot plate for convenient drying of processed thin films directly on the unit. The system features a standard hot plate capable of reaching temperatures up to 90 °C, ensuring efficient drying during your coating process.
Upgrade from the standard hot plate, which reaches up to 90 °C, to the high-temperature hot plate capable of reaching 140 °C. This enhanced option provides greater flexibility, optimizing your thin-film coating applications.
4. Syringe Pump
The syringe pumps feature a color touchscreen for precise ink flow control, a USB interface for full control and data logging, and compatibility with our free software for easy setup of simple or complex experiments. They support smooth ink delivery for R&D and can be combined for automated gradient or dilution tasks
5. Coating and Printing
The Research Laboratory Coater supports slot-die heads (available in PEEK, Stainless Steel and Titanium), a Knife Coater, Bar Coater and Air Knife. The slot-die heads offer precise coatings for both small details and large surfaces. Heated versions are also available in stainless steel and titanium.
If you need a customized slot-die head tailored to your specific requirements, our expert team is ready to collaborate with you to design and manufacture a solution that meets your exact needs.
Engineered for precise temperature regulation and superior slot-die coating performance, this advanced controller guarantees uniform film thickness and enhances product quality, ensuring optimal results with every use.
Optimize your slot-die coating systems with our custom shim kits, designed to meet your specific needs and applications.
Includes 60 cm of Teflon tubing with a 0.50 mm diameter for low-viscosity inks, and PEEK female Luer lock connectors for secure and reliable connections.
Includes 60 cm of Teflon tubing with a 1.6 mm diameter for high-viscosity inks, along with PEEK female Luer lock connectors to ensure secure connections.
The knife coater unit has a knife blade in anodized aluminum with a high precision ground edge, resulting in a coating width of 30 mm. Adjust the gap size between the substrate and the knife blade of the coating unit, using the micrometer screw on the knife coater unit.
The nominal thickness obtainable with each bar/rod: 10 micron, 25 micron, 50 micron, 100 micron and 250 micron.
The simple flexographic roller system can be used for printing many types of materials when preparing single devices among others the back silver for inverted geometry device.
The Air knife is a powerful piece of equipment for drying and rapid quenching of coated thin films with compressed air or inert gas (important for i.e. perovskites)
