Bühler Alzenau GmbH

The new generation glasscoater came with a lock chamber design for highest durabilty and brand new vacuum pump technology combined with minimized chamber volume for fast evacuation cycles at lowest operational cost for high efficient production.
The precise conveying systems features handling of glass substrates with a wide variety of glass sizes, shapes and thicknesses and arrange the substrate with a gap down to 30mm to prevent waste of target material and risk of debries. The transfer chamber comprises a high efficient gas separation to avoid residual gas transfer into the process area. The flexible process chambers design allows any kind of coater configuration tailored to your specific product requirements. The process compartments are prepared for the implementation of planar or rotatable sputtering technology. The pump compartments can be equipped with different technologies to maintain process pressure and to ensure highest level of gas separation between neighboring process compartments. Sophisticated and most reliable end-blocks and magnet bars on the market are featured by the Bühler LEYBOLD OPTICS rotatable cathodes to ensure high precision coating process and lowest operational cost. 
For all cathodes a variety of process control and automation features are available and can be offered according to your specific requirements.
The Plasmastar automation system links all individual technology components to enable autonomous operation of the coating system. The Plasmastar software environment enhances the value of all steps in your production cycle, including coating system conditioning, single layer setup, product setup and production, to maximize throughput and yield.

LEYBOLD OPTICS GLC series V from Bühler is a versatile inline coating machine for all vertical sputter processes. The tilted design option is extremely beneficial when it comes to reducing particle impact or even for utilizing gravity to hold a substrate in a 7° tilted carrier during process. The carrier can be designed to hold multiple small substrates, like smartphone  displays, or single substrates with a size of up to 1,400 x 1,400 mm². The system can be equipped with a housed carrier return track to avoid particle impact from the surrounding atmosphere or to retain dust from potentially hazardous sputter material from emitting into the production facility. 

Cost efficiency, excellent quality of the coating layers, and an outstanding process versatility are the key features of this R&D lab-coater concept. The chosen target width of 878 mm is a balanced measure between R&D process development and the transferability of the results onto the large scale. The transferability of research and development results to large-scale production is the key for business success. Bühler Leybold Optics delivers equipment for substrate sizes ranging from as small as eye glasses up to substrate sizes of 39.6 m². For research & development requirements, Bühler offers solutions that help to master the challenge of scaling up processes from small equipment to production scale systems. LEYBOLD OPTICS GLC series H lab is a dedicated large area coating R&D system with a geometry perfectly balanced between material economics and process result
transferability.
