Whatsapp

Overview

Fully automated, programmable standalone system with coordinated XYZ motion control using Windows-based software and user-friendly teach pendant with trackball. Versatile mid to high-volume or pilot scale production thin film coatings. Can be configured with standard SMEMA conveyor for inline coating solutions.

 

  • Very high Platinum utilization proven in MEA fabrication; as high as 90%.
  • Highly porous coatings are extremely durable, preventing cracking or peeling of catalyst layer.
  • Up to 50% reduction in material consumption with reduced overspray, conserving expensive catalyst inks.
  • Clean, precise spray patterns that are easily shaped for various applications.
  • Highly controllable spray that produces reliable, consistent results.
  • Non-clogging atomized spray that does not deviate.
  • Excellent stiction “adherence” to PEM; optimal for high vibration fuel cell applications such as automotive parts.
