Comprehensive VaporTech Systems Service & Support
KDF Technologies isn't a general service provider that's learning PVD. We're a dedicated organization with decades of PVD system production, service, support and spare parts, and we're backed by the global infrastructure of the Kurt J. Lesker Company.
Request a Service ConsultationPreventative Maintenance & Repair
Full preventative maintenance including water control system, turntable, vacuum-pump system, electrical system, gas delivery system, chamber cleaning, shield replacement, and operational qualification.
OEM-Designed Spare Parts
Genuine VaporTech parts are built to original specifications through KDF engineering and manufacturing, with global inventory support to help customers get fast replacements and reduce downtime.
Applications & Coating Optimization
Our team of thin-film material scientists works with you to optimize coating processes for function, durability, and appearance. We work to ensure coating feasibility, process optimization on your actual parts, and production readiness.
Installation & Training
If you're moving your system or training new staff, we work with you to integrate the machine into existing manufacturing operations, provide installation support, and train your staff on system operation, coating processes, and maintenance procedures.
System Upgrades
Factory-trained personnel install upgrades and make repairs. Upgrades may include new arc or bias power supplies, controls, expanded process gas capability, or additional coating sources.
Same Systems, New Brand
KDF now manufactures the same VaporTech system line under the KDF brand, with unchanged chamber design, coating technologies, available processes, and equipment footprint.
Why VaporTech Trusts Us to Support Your Machine
KDF Technologies isn't a general service provider that's learning PVD. It's a dedicated organization backed by decades of production knowledge and the global infrastructure of the Kurt J. Lesker Company, and exists specifically to support PVD and advanced deposition systems.
Stellar Reputation for Customer Service
KDF has trusted industry reputation for technical excellence and highly-rated customer service. We give you direct access to engineering staff 5 days a week to answer questions and help troubleshoot issues. We thoroughly test and verify your parts under real operation conditions before shipping. Most electrical and mechanical assemblies are repaired and shipped in less than a week.
Years of PVD System Heritage
KDF Technologies carries forward the legacy of Materials Research Corporation, one of the original pioneers of commercial PVD sputtering systems. That heritage spans more than 70 years of production system knowledge, engineering drawings, and process expertise built specifically around the kind of equipment VaporTech customers run every day.
9001:2015 Certified Quality
All products and services meet ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. Every part ships with a certificate of analysis and material safety data sheet. Helium leak detection and RGA testing ensure proper vacuum quality on every system that leaves the facility.
PVD & Thin-Film Applications Laboratory
KDF maintains on-site applications labs equipped for PVD sputtering, e-beam and thermal evaporation, and advanced process development. Materials analytical equipment, including profilometers, 4-point probes, and ellipsometers, supports coating trials and customer process optimization for the same industrial and medical applications VaporTech customers rely on, including DLC and biocompatible coatings.
Global Inventory & Service Infrastructure
Global vacuum component inventory locations across North America, Europe, and Asia ensure fast parts availability. The Kurt J. Lesker Company's global service infrastructure provides regional coverage for North America, South America & Australia, EMEIA, and Asia, with dedicated teams, phone support, and in-region engineering resources for every VaporTech customer worldwide.
Meet the New KDF-Series PVD & DLC Systems
In addition to servicing your existing VaporTech systems, KDF now manufactures a full line of KDF-branded wear coatings and color PVD systems. The KDF-Series systems continue with the same chamber design, coating technologies and process, available coatings, and footprint: only the name, the parts supply chain, and the support organization behind them are new.
Your system's chamber design, coating capability, and footprint carry forward unchanged — only the name, the parts supply chain, and the support organization behind it are new. Full specifications, available coatings, and ordering information for each system live on its dedicated KDF product page.
