KDF-3000i: HIGHEST THROUGHPUT, LARGER PARTS
The streamlined 3000i system features the largest i-Series chamber in a smaller footprint than other industrial coaters. It offers high throughput and accommodates larger parts. It is ideal for large-scale operations and is used by leading manufacturing operations worldwide.
Maximum Throughput, Consistent PVD Quality
Repeatability
Uniform, consistent deposition throughout the full chamber, batch after batch. Excellent color uniformity & deposition rates throughout the chamber.
Flexibility
Use physical vapor deposition (PVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) deposition processes in the same chamber.
Low Temperature
Lower-temperature cathodic arc deposition means KDF-iSeries systems coat on most metal substrates and electroplated plastic parts.
Large Part Capacity
Coat longer parts than any other system in the KDF-i Series, up to 48 in. (122 cm).
Footprint
The KDF-3000i has a smaller footprint than comparable high-volume production coaters.
Remote Diagnostics
Get real-time troubleshooting, software and configuration updates, and recipe configurations directly from KDF.
