Arc vaporizer

GPA started out as a plant manufacturer in the early 1990s. Our expertise in PVD coatings therefore stems from machine technology. The reliable arc evaporation technology developed by company founder Jürgen Lohmann has been used successfully worldwide ever since.

Intro picture Arc vaporizer

PVD arc evaporator unit (cathodic arc source)

  • Robust all-rounders in industrial production
  • Flexible application options in research & development
  • Retrofit of older vacuum and coating systems
  • Supplementing existing systems with additional technology

Features

  • Design and production Made in Germany
  • Improved efficiency due to cathode utilization > 70 % with higher evaporation rate
  • Quick cathode change thanks to quick-change system with clamping ring
  • High production reliability thanks to indirect water cooling
  • Cathode contact surface made of high-strength, thermally conductive copper alloy
  • For all known cathode materials (e.g. titanium, chromium, zirconium and alloys such as titanium aluminum, chromium aluminum)
