Tools Hard Film PVD Vacuum Coating Equipment

This PVD vacuum coating equipment for hard tool coatings focuses on applying hard, functional coatings to cutting tools and molds.

The equipment utilizes multi-arc ion plating (cathodic arc) to ionize target metal atoms in a vacuum environment, depositing hard, wear-resistant coatings-such as TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, AlCrN, CrN, and DLC-onto workpiece surfaces. It features a planetary rotation fixture system, a low-temperature ion-assisted source, and a fully automated PLC process control system. Specifically optimized to ensure coating uniformity on complex cutting tool edge geometries, the system is capable of depositing multi-layer composite super-hard coatings.

The PVD coating machine for tool coating is a key equipment for improving the performance of tools in modern manufacturing.

Its low-temperature deposition, high hardness, excellent bonding strength, good thermal stability, complex shape coverage and environmental protection characteristics make it widely used in cutting tools, forming molds (stamping, die casting, injection molding, etc.) and various wear-resistant parts.

By depositing high-performance hard coatings, it can significantly extend the life of tools, improve processing efficiency, improve product quality, and reduce comprehensive production costs. It is an indispensable part of modern efficient, precise and green manufacturing.

Advantages of Our Equipment Coating

High hardness and significantly extended wear life

Low coefficient of friction; inhibits built-up edge formation
The coating is dense and smooth, resulting in lower cutting resistance and improved chip evacuation, thereby enhancing the surface finish of the machined part.

Low-temperature deposition prevents substrate deformation
PVD operates at low temperatures; when combined with a low-temperature ion-assisted source, it enables "cold" coating at room temperature. This avoids the tempering, softening, or deformation of high-speed steel and cemented carbide tools, thereby fully preserving the toughness of the tool substrate.

Excellent coating wrap-around capability ensures uniform film formation on complex cutting edges
Combining planetary rotation tooling with directional ion deposition, this process applies coatings with consistent thickness and strong adhesion to drill bits, end mills, taps, and hobbing cutters, as well as to the cutting edges and flutes of small-diameter internal holes and cavity molds; the resulting coatings are highly resistant to peeling or flaking.
