Jet Plasmas
In the field of surface technology, atmospheric jet plasma systems from various manufacturers are available. In addition to pure plasma activation, these can also be used to produce functional coatings. The necessary dosing technology (vaporiser, atomiser) for coating production is available. Different systems for sample handling (rotation, x-y positioning units, table-top robots) allow flexible processing of the samples or workpieces.
