AluMet 1800V – Productive Evaporation System

Generous load capacity and short cycle time the intuitive, state-of-the-art HMI of the AluMet 1800V and its fully automated process control consistently guarantee high throughput with perfect results. Highly efficient processing is further aided by the double-door design with a set of six pylons per door. The powerful vacuum pumping system, the highly efficient thermal evaporators and high-rate PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition) sources are the key to short cycle times.

Low production cost

The AluMet 1800V uses the consumables that drive production costs, such as evaporator filaments and aluminium evaporation material, highly efficiently. Furthermore, the optimized aluminium evaporator geometries allow maximum collection efficiency, which results in a high evaporation material utilization.

Robust design for high reliability

Deployed in the automotive industry worldwide, the AluMet 1800V is more than capable of demonstrating its unique reliability and robustness in a mass production context. All key components, such as the evaporators and the PECVD stations, are designed for 24/7 production and, to ensure a high machine uptime, all serviceable components are easy to access and simple to maintain.

Versatile pylon system for more flexibility

The planetary substrate holder system with its six pylons per door is capable of handling a wide range of substrate types and sizes. This makes Bühler Leybold Optics’ AluMet 1800V a very versatile and flexible system, suitable for many different production scenarios and environments. In addition, the ergonomic design of the pylon holder system allows fast and easy handling of the pylons during loading/unloading of substrates.

Compact design means minimum floor space

The AluMet 1800V is mounted in a compact and easily handled steel frame. As a result, the system has a spacesaving footprint of approx. 45 m² in total. The machine’s steel frame makes its installation and, if required, relocation, fast and straightforward.
