Coatings Solutions

Precision Fabrication of Complex Components for the Vacuum Coating Industry

The list of applications for vacuum coating processes is long and growing. Whether the need is for hard, performance-enhancing coatings or attractive yet durable finishes, vacuum coating provides the solution. That demand is driving growth in the coating equipment industry, and Meyer Tool & Mfg. has the expertise to help.

Coating Application Technologies

The term “vacuum coating” covers several related ways of applying thin coatings. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) may be the most widely known. This includes ion bean deposition, atomic layer deposition and sputtering processes. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) achieves similar results, albeit at higher temperatures.

The Coatings Industry Is Growing

Thin film coatings rose to prominence in the late 1970's and early 80's, chiefly as a means of improving cutting tool performance. These coatings were applied in vacuum chambers manufactured to challenging technical specifications.
 
Today, designers and engineers in many industries are specifying coatings applied by PVD and CVD. Drill bit coatings, along with other cutting tools, remains an important market, but others have emerged.
 
Many automotive components have wear and friction-reducing coatings applied by variants of PVD and CVD. Interest is growing in medical device coatings. The microelectronics industry is looking to semiconductor coatings as way of further improving performance. Even packaging materials receive a metalized coating through a thin film process.

The Demands of Vacuum Coating Equipment

When applying coatings less than a few microns thick, cleanliness is essential throughout the process — demanding the following:
 
  • High-quality finishes on the hard, nonreactive materials such as stainless steel used to make vacuum chambers.
  • Welds of the highest integrity, to eliminate any risk of gas permeability and especially rupture.
  • Component machining and fabrication to the highest possible levels of precision.

Meyer Tool Builds the Impossible

​Building pressure vessels and vacuum chambers of the types used in cryostats and similar precision equipment takes special skills. At Meyer Tool, we've spent decades growing and honing that expertise. Today, we offer unrivaled capabilities for manufacturing highly specialized components.
 
From engineering and machining to welding and testing, we provide a vertically integrated fabrication service. Our specialty is making technically challenging components in low volumes for producers of highly specialized equipment.
 
If you're a manufacturer of vacuum coating equipment and you'd like to learn more about the work Meyer Tool can undertake, the next step is simple. Call 708-425-9080 or complete our project request form. We'll connect you with a technical specialist who understands your needs and will be able to help.
