EnglishWhat PVD Coating Machines Does Sputtek Offer?
Updated
Sputtek offers three PVD coating machine options: the SPUN 2,000 (up to 1,200 kg per cycle), the SPUN 4,000 (up to 3,000 kg per cycle), and a custom-designed PVD coating system. The right choice depends mainly on the weight and volume of the parts you need to coat per run — the SPUN 2,000 suits moderate batch sizes, while the SPUN 4,000 is built for high-volume production.
The Three PVD Coating Machine Options
SPUN 2,000
A high-capacity PVD coating system that can coat up to 1,200 kg in a single cycle. This is the entry point into Sputtek's high-capacity coating equipment and fits operations that need consistent batch coating without the throughput demands of very large production runs.
SPUN 4,000
A high-capacity PVD coating system that can coat up to 3,000 kg in a single cycle — roughly 2.5 times the per-cycle capacity of the SPUN 2,000. It's positioned for high-volume production environments where maximizing load per cycle matters.
Custom-Designed PVD Coating System
For requirements that don't fit a standard machine's capacity or configuration, Sputtek offers custom design of PVD coating systems. This is the option to consider when part geometry, substrate material, or production scale falls outside what the SPUN 2,000 and SPUN 4,000 are built to handle.
Comparing the Machines
| Machine | Capacity per cycle | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| SPUN 2,000 | Up to 1,200 kg | Moderate to high batch coating |
| SPUN 4,000 | Up to 3,000 kg | High-volume production |
| Custom design | Defined by application | Non-standard capacity or configuration needs |
What the Machines Are Used For
These systems apply PVD (physical vapor deposition) and DLC coatings, along with thermal spray processes. Sputtek describes its coating technologies as designed to extend tool life, improve wear resistance, and maximize operational efficiency — with applications spanning stamping, plastic processing, cutting tools, and aluminum die cast/extrusion components.
The company positions its coating services to support everything from prototype to high-volume production, so the machine choice should match where your parts sit on that spectrum.
How to Decide
- If your per-cycle load is under 1,200 kg and you need reliable batch throughput, the SPUN 2,000 is the standard fit.
- If you're running high-volume production and want to maximize parts per cycle, the SPUN 4,000's 3,000 kg capacity reduces the number of cycles needed.
- If your parts or process don't match either standard system, ask about the custom-designed option.
