DGK 36 vacuum sputtering machine is an advanced and highly specialized machine designed for surface coating . This machine has been overhauled and is ready for delivery, complete with all functional features and a warranty that offers an additional level of security for the purchaser.

General characteristics

The DGK 36 is a metallizing machine distinguished by its horizontal design, particularly suitable for applications requiring uniform coating treatment. With a diameter of 1,000 mm and a length of 1,250 mm , this model offers a generous working capacity, ideal for medium to large-sized components. It is particularly appreciated for the accuracy of treatment and the coating quality it achieves thanks to its high-end sputtering sources.

Main components

The machine is equipped with two sputtering sources : an activation plasma and a PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) plasma. These systems allow for a high-quality coating with an iridescent , a visually attractive and long-lasting result. The sputtering sources are responsible for deposition of the material on the surface of the components, while the plasma systems activate and prepare the substrate for coating, improving the adhesion of the deposited material.

PECVD plasma also allows for improved chemical coating quality through the use of gases and plasmas, promoting the adhesion of thin coatings without compromising the structure of the base material.

Measurements and capacities

• Diameter : 1,000 mm
• Length : 1,250 mm
• Number of sputtering sources: 2
• Number of plasmas : 1 activation + 1 PECVD
• Iridescence effect : Yes, thanks to the combination of sputtering and PECVD technologies.

Usage procedure

The vacuum sputtering metallization process is highly technological and requires a series of steps that include substrate preparation, internal vacuum, gas ionization, and material deposition. In practice, the process occurs through the use of sputtering sources that emit charged particles (ions) toward the surface to be treated, where the materials deposit and form the protective coating.

1. Substrate preparation : The material to be treated, usually metals or alloys, is inserted.
2. Vacuum creation : The machine reduces internal pressure to promote uniform deposition of materials.
3. Plasma Activation : Using plasma activation and PECVD, the material to be coated is activated to promote adhesion of the deposited metals or other materials.
4. Coating deposition : Particles are accelerated and sputtered onto the substrate surface.

Accessories and use

DGK 36 machine is designed for easy integration into production facilities requiring vacuum metallization. It can be used with a variety of coating materials, including:

• Metals : steel, aluminum, titanium, etc.
• Plastic materials : combined with coatings to improve hardness and wear resistance.
• Electronic components : to create conductive surfaces and to improve thermal performance.

Maintenance and durability

Maintenance of this machine is relatively simple and focuses primarily on periodic cleaning of the sputtering sources, checking the vacuum system, and verifying the efficiency of the plasma system. It is important to perform regular maintenance, replacing worn components such as glass plates and filter systems, to ensure optimal performance at all times.

Safety and regulations

DGK 36 machine is designed to industrial safety standards. Since the machine does not have CE certification, if purchased in a country requiring such certification, it will need to be adapted to local regulations, such as adding additional safety devices, including emergency sensors and physical guards around the sputtering area.

Sectors of use

DGK 36 model is used in a variety of industries, including:

• Electronics industry : for the production of electronic components with conductive or protective coatings.
• Automotive sector : for the treatment of metal parts and engine or chassis components.
• Aerospace industry : for the metallization of high-temperature sensitive parts or to improve material performance.
• Decorative coatings sector : thanks to the iridescent effect, ideal for decorative applications on metal and plastic.

Why it is better to buy used

Purchasing a DGK 36 vacuum sputtering machine is a great choice for those seeking a high-quality product at a competitive price. The metalization process is a proven technology, and a reconditioned machine, like the one offered, guarantees long life and high performance at a lower cost than purchasing a new model. Furthermore, purchasing used machines allows you to obtain high-end equipment with an excellent operational guarantee, provided the machine has been regularly maintained and serviced.

In conclusion, the DGK 36 represents an unmissable opportunity for companies requiring a highly precise and powerful vacuum metallization machine, proven to be effective in numerous industrial sectors. With PECVD plasma and sputtering sources , this machine achieves high-quality, resistant, and long-lasting coatings.
