Desk Carbon Coater – DCR is a swift user friendly compact carbon fiber coating system suitable for Sample Preparation for analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray diffraction (EDX).
Features of Desk Carbon Coater – DCR
Hardware
-
- Two-stage, direct drive rotary vane pump 6 m3/h
- Quartz crystal thickness monitor with precision of 1nm and resolution of 1 Å
- Automatic venting valve
- Sample rotation, height and tilt adjustable
- Planetary sample holder (optional)
- Electronic shutter
- Easy-to-change specimen stages (rotation stage as standard)
- Two-year warranty
- CE conformity
- Vac coat Products are covered worldwide by both public and product Liability Insurance in case any property damage or personal injury happens caused by the Vac Coat systems.
Automation
- Intuitive touch screen to control the coating process and rapid data input
- User friendly software, updatable via network
- Semi-Full automatic coating process (optional)
- Repeatable, programmable coating process in the automatic mode
- Pulsed or flash carbon fiber coating modes
- Manual or automatic Timed and Thickness deposition
- Records and plots coating parameters graphs
- Storing coating recipes for repeatable depositions
Pulsed Carbon Fiber Evaporation
The desk vacuum carbon coating system – DCR is able to perform pulsed carbon fiber evaporation. Short pulses provide more controlled deposition and significantly reduces the amount of debris associated with traditional carbon deposition.
Carbon Rod Evaporation (optional)
The Desk high vacuum carbon coater could be equipped with carbon rod head (optional). For this case an external 0-100A high current power supply should be used instead of the internal high current power supply which is designed for carbon fiber evaporation.
Touch Screen Control with Colorful Display
Desk carbon coater is equipped with a 7” colored touch screen with full automatic control using a user-friendly software to control and adjust the deposition process data. The vacuum and coating sequence information can be observed as digital data or curves on the touch screen. The last 300 coatings information is saved on the history page and can be transferred to PC by a USB port on the device.
Sample Holder
The DCR can be equipped with different sample stage configurations depending on the user requirements. The sample stages are rotatable with adjustable height and can be changed easily. The rotary planetary sample stage is a good choice for uniform coating of porous specimens (optional).
Newly Designed Sample Holder
A new 4-inch rotating sample holder is designed for the system to increase the deposition area and the number of coating stubs in a run (customizable for max. 50×1 mm stubs).
