PTL-HT-2-LD Table-Top Dip Coating Unit with Infrared Heater
The PTL-HT-2-LD dip coating unit is engineered to automate and precisely control the coating process on substrates, minimizing manual intervention. It is ideal for laboratory environments in physics, chemistry, and biotechnology where uniform thin films are required. The system uses a microcontroller to maintain consistent dipping speed and duration, ensuring reproducible coating thicknesses.
A precision servo motor drives a lead screw linear stage that moves the substrate smoothly and quietly through the coating solution. After coating, an integrated infrared heater with a maximum temperature of 200°C dries the substrate efficiently. Temperature is regulated by a PID digital controller with ±1°C accuracy, allowing controlled drying conditions.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Servo motor-driven linear stage for vibration-free, precise substrate movement.
- Adjustable dipping speed from 18 to 9000 microns per second via digital panel.
- Infrared heater with PID control for substrate drying up to 200°C.
- Dual substrate holder included; multi-sample holder available optionally.
- Control via front panel with LCD and keyboard or PC software through RS232 interface.
- Memory for five dipping programs to facilitate repeatability.
- CE certified for laboratory safety compliance.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This dip coater is widely used in research laboratories for applying uniform thin films on substrates in physics, chemistry, and biotechnology. It supports coating processes requiring precise control of film thickness and drying, such as fabrication of colloidal self-assembled monolayers and thin film coatings for sensors or biomedical devices.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The unit operates in manual mode via front panel controls or PC mode using included software, allowing program saving and repeatability. For improved coating quality, substrate pretreatment with plasma cleaning and solution homogenization by ultrasonic processing are recommended. The system can be integrated into gloveboxes for controlled atmosphere operation. Optional multi-sample holders are available at extra cost. Proper ventilation or use within a fume hood is advised when working with volatile solvents.
