The K250X Coating Attachment for Carbon Sputtering

The K250 uses several Carbon Fibre types to cover a range of deposition thicknesses operating at Rotary Vacuum pressures utilising K250X Carbon Coating Attachment | Image Pop Up the chamber of the Sputter Coater. Coating is omni-directional, and has a relatively short cycle time of the order of 5 minutes.

The System employs low voltage, high current electrodes between which the carbon fibre is located. The electrode assembly employs a protective shutter to protect the specimen from heat radiation damage during the outgassing of the carbon fibre. At completion of this process, full power is applied to the electrodes, causing the carbon to burn quickly or 'Flash' the fibre fusing as part of the process.

The controls can be pre-selected to allow for different types of carbon fibre, and repeatable deposition thickness can be achieved.
