In industry, components are often made from materials that offer special physical properties such as high strength or low weight. However, these materials are often susceptible to corrosion or other influences, which is why they are additionally protected or refined by coatings. Galvanic processes are widely used for this, but sputtering, a plasma process in a vacuum, is an efficient alternative. It can be used to apply thin protective or decorative layers to different materials. However, conventional systems are large and complex. This is why W&L Coating Systems has developed the compact NMS 200 series of coating systems. These table-top units offer a flexible, user-friendly solution for high-quality coatings with minimal material loss - directly on the workbench.
