Meet the New KDF DLC Line
Every VaporTech platform now has a direct home in KDF Technologies' PVD & DLC coating system lineup — same proven chamber designs, now backed by KDF's manufacturing depth, global parts inventory, and applications lab.
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.
Built for This. By KDF Technologies.
KDF Technologies is a purpose-built organization focused on PVD and advanced deposition process equipment. This isn't a hand-off to a generalist. It's a transition to a team with the exact expertise, manufacturing depth, and infrastructure your VaporTech system deserves for the long haul.
Preventative 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. Restores system to like-new performance.
OEM-Designed Spare Parts
Genuine parts designed to original VaporTech specifications, manufactured through KDF's engineering and in-house manufacturing capacity. Stocked across global inventory locations in North America, Europe, and Asia for fast turnaround, factory-certified to maximize system performance and minimize downtime.
Applications & Coating Optimization
Our team of thin-film material scientists works with you to optimize coating processes for function, durability, and appearance. Covers coating feasibility, process optimization on your actual parts, and production readiness.
Installation & Training
System integration into existing manufacturing operations, installation support, and operator training on system operation, coating processes, and maintenance procedures.
System Upgrades
Factory-trained personnel available to install upgrades and repairs. Upgrades may include new arc or bias power supplies, controls, expanded process gas capability, or additional coating sources.
Purpose-Built for Deposition Equipment
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.
Dedicated Deposition Equipment Focus
KDF Technologies is a purpose-built company focused on PVD and advanced deposition process equipment, including process materials, targets, and related services. Based in Rockleigh, New Jersey, KDF brings decades of production system knowledge with the engineering depth to support your systems at the component level.
Decades 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.
