HiPIMS technology

HiPIMS power supplies to obtain high quality coatings.

Nano4Energy’s dedication to advancing plasma technology has driven significant enhancements in coating performance and manufacturing productivity. Through breakthroughs in HiPIMS power supply technology, we are now able to fine-tune every stage of the process to optimize key parameters. This expertise has been implemented in hundreds of industrial systems currently available on the market.

Our partnership with Viesca HiPIMS facilitates the production of cutting-edge and highly reliable industrial HiPIMS power supplies.

We collaborate closely with our customers to incorporate the latest thin-film coating technologies into everyday production. Our support encompasses the entire process—from concept and coating development to system design and full-scale implementation—enabling fully automated, high-volume manufacturing.

The next generation of Bipolar HiPIMS technology is now available across all power supply units, delivering an average power range of 6 to 20 kW.

In recent years, we have witnessed the substantial impact of positive voltage reversal on coating performance. This has been demonstrated through applications such as low-friction DLC coatings, hard metal nitrides, and metal oxides. This new phase, featuring fully controllable positive voltage reversal in both duration and amplitude, enables us to further fine-tune the positive pulse effect for each specific application.
