VON ARDENNE Load Lock Systems are especially designed for R&D purposes and for small-scale production. They meet several technological requirements and are therefore ideally suited for the development of new coating technologies and for the reliable and reproducible coating of a smaller number of substrates.
The systems are designed as a two-chamber system with a load lock and a process chamber. Thanks to the modular design, you can choose or combine different technologies and process conditions for the coating of a substrate. Our load lock systems be operated manually or fully automatically, depending on the application.
Our load lock systems are suited for the processing of customer-specific substrates with a maximum size of eight inches in diameter or 200 mm x 200 mm. Substrates with smaller dimension or irregular shapes, such as shards or three-dimensional objects, can be processed with the help of carriers.
