HiPIMS technology

HiPIMS power supplies to obtain high quality coatings.

Nano4Energy´s devotion to develop plasma technology has led to significant improvements of coating properties as well as productivity in every day manufacturing. Due to the development of power supplies we have the possibility to tailor the whole process to optimize every parameter. The knowledge has been implemented in several industrial systems that are in the market today.

 We work closely with our customers in order to implement the latest technology of thin film coatings to every day production. We are part of the process from idea, coating development, system design and full implementation for fully automatic high volume production.

The next step of Bipolar HiPIMS is now available in all the power supply units, ranging from 6 to 20kW average power.

 

From the last few years of development in the sector we already know that the positive voltage reversal can have a great impact on the coating performance. We have already proven examples of DLC coatings, various metal nitrides and metal oxides. With this next step of fully controllable positive voltage reversal, both in time and amplitude results in that we can further optimize the effect of the positive pulse for each application.
