PylonMet - High throughput and flexibility
with excellent coating results

The PylonMet VXL is a flexible, high-throughput, batch-type magnetron sputtering system for the coating of 3-dimensional parts.

The swivel type front door allows high productive processing- and loading-unloading sequences. Substrates will be loaded to an easy-to-access pylon or optional to a planetary-substrate-fixuring system.

The machine-concept allows a flexible configuration and the accomplishing of a wide range of applications. This includes Magnetron Sputter deposition with IPT (Inter-Pole-Targets) for the high rate deposition of metals and reactive magnetron sputtering with IPT or rotatable targets for the deposition of metal-nitride or metal oxide layers.
The advanced MF (Mid Frequency) PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) deposition source allows the deposition of transparent Top Coats and enhanced wipe-resist layers.

Further key-elements are the efficient vacuum pumping system including an effective cryo-coil system and a flexible process-gas-management system.

The entire machine is installed into an easy-to-handle steel frame.
