FOM arcRC - Intermediate-level
Lab-Scale Roll-Based Precision Coating for Flexible Substrates
The FOM arcRC is a high-performance slot die coating machine designed for researchers and engineers ready to take their thin-film processes from the lab to a pilot-scale production environment. As an intermediate-level coater, the arcRC bridges the gap between fundamental research and technology demonstration by integrating industry-grade components into a compact, lab-friendly format.
This advanced system provides exceptional control over coating parameters, with a focus on replicating industrial roll-to-roll processes. The unique arc design allows for precise adjustment of the slot-die head angle and position around the coating roll, giving you unparalleled control over shear and gravity effects. This makes the FOM arcRC an ideal solution for developing and validating scalable processes for a wide range of functional materials.
