STAR-E100 PVD Coating System

The STAR-E100 is one of the most compact commercially available PVD coating systems. The key features include fast cycle time, easy operation, and price-competitive - without comprising coating quality. The system is equipped with six sets Φ 100mm circular cathodic arc evaporators. It’s an ideal PVD coating machine for customers looking to set up in-house PVD coating from previously outsourcing parts to a 3rd party PVD coating facility.
