Currently, vacuum coating machines on the market can be divided into six main categories. The name of the vacuum coating machine varies depending on the application. For example, when used in the field of hard coating, it is called a hard coating coating equipment. When used in the field of optics, it is called an optical vacuum coating machine. When used on large workpieces such as architectural glass and low-e glass, it is called a continuous vacuum coating line equipment, and so on.
Applications in hard coatings: cutting tools, molds, and wear- and corrosion-resistant parts, etc. Multi-arc ion vacuum coating machines or magnetron sputtering coating machines can be used.
Applications in protective coatings: aircraft engine blades, automotive steel sheets, heat sinks, etc. Magnetron sputtering coating machines are selected.
Applications in optical thin films: anti-reflective coatings, high-reflective coatings, cut-off filters, anti-counterfeiting films, etc. Optical coating equipment and electron beam evaporation coating machines can be used.
Applications in architectural glass: solar control films, low-emissivity glass, anti-fog and anti-condensation glass, and self-cleaning glass, etc. Low-emissivity glass coating production lines can be used.
Applications in solar energy utilization: solar collectors, solar cells, etc. Magnetron sputtering Al film coating production lines can be used.
Applications in integrated circuit manufacturing: thin-film resistors, thin-film capacitors, thin-film temperature sensors, etc. PECVD magnetron sputtering production lines are suitable.
Applications in information display: LCD screens, plasma screens, etc. AZO transparent conductive film magnetron sputtering coating production lines are recommended.
Applications in information storage: magnetic information storage, magneto-optical information storage, etc. Magnetron sputtering coating equipment is suitable.
Applications in decorative items: coating of mobile phone cases, watch cases, eyeglass frames, hardware, small ornaments, etc. Evaporation vacuum coating equipment is suitable.
Applications in electronic products: LCD monitors, LCD TVs, MP4 players, automotive displays, mobile phone displays, digital cameras, and CRT computers, etc. Continuous magnetron sputtering production lines for anti-reflective conductive films are suitable.
Applications in touchscreens: screens for mobile phones, computers, MP4 players, and other digital products can be coated using continuous touchscreen coating production lines.
