PVD equipment decisions often fail when they are made around a coating name instead of a manufacturing workflow. The MpC platform was developed in the opposite direction:

  • Adhesion and surface preparation first
  • Flexible source architecture second
  • Throughput and serviceability third

The result is a system family capable of monolayers, multilayers, gradient, nano-structured, nanocomposite, and duplex coatings— without locking you into a single technology path.

Core Strengths:

  • HPIES ion etching for reliable adhesion
  • Up to 4 different target materials in one system
  • Configurations: ARC, ARC + Magnetron hybrid, Duplex PVD
  • Lowest cost per batch design approach
  • Evolutionary configuration for current and future needs
  • Useful volume Ø 350 × H 500 mm
  • Up to 4 batches/day
  • Flexible ARC / Magnetron combinations

Best for: mixed precision parts, specialty tooling, early in-house coating programs.

  • Volume Ø 450 × H 500 mm
  • 576–864 end mills per batch
  • 3–4.5 hr cycle time

Best for: daily production of tools and functional components with mixed geometries.

Role: expanded fixture strategies, higher component count per run.

  • Volume Ø 650 × H 500 mm
  • Up to 864 end mills Ø10×70 per batch
  • Designed for duplex and advanced stacks

Best for: dedicated coating cells serving tools, mechanical parts, and wear components.

Mold and die applications are governed by a different set of rules:

  • Galling and pickup
  • Thermal cycling
  • Release behavior
  • Dimensional stability

Our larger MpC systems are designed for high volume and forming tools. These systems specifically cater to:

  • Aluminum and stainless pickup
  • Premature die maintenance
  • Inconsistent release in plastic molds
  • Wear on punches, broaches, segments
  • Supports both component and forming strategies
  • Hybrid ARC + Sputter options

Best for: mixed precision parts, specialty tooling, and mold and die applications.

  • Volume Ø 650 × H 1140 mm
  • Cycle time 6–7 hrs
  • Designed for:
    • Broaches & saw blades
    • Cold & hot forming
    • Plastic molds
  • Volume Ø 900 × H 1140 mm
  • Load up to 3000 kg
