MSK-AFA-W500-AL 500mm-Wide Tape Casting Sheet Coater with Optional 120°C Heated Vacuum Bed and Doctor Blade or Slot Die Applicator
The MSK-AFA-W500-AL is engineered to facilitate the precise tape casting of thin films over a medium-size area, ideal for research and development of membranes, battery electrodes, solar cells, and other advanced materials. It supports coating widths up to 500mm and lengths up to 1000mm, enabling uniform film formation on flat substrates.
This system incorporates an aluminum alloy flat vacuum chuck capable of heating up to 120°C with PID temperature control maintaining ±1°C accuracy. The vacuum chuck ensures substrate stability during coating, enhancing film uniformity. The coater’s travel speed ranges from 500 to 5000 mm/min, adjustable via a touchscreen control panel that also manages coating distance, temperature, and vacuum settings.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This coater is well suited for prototyping thin films in research and development environments, including battery electrode fabrication, membrane production, and solar cell layer deposition. Its medium-size coating area and precise control make it ideal for developing uniform films with controlled thickness.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The MSK-AFA-W500-AL includes a stainless steel doctor blade applicator with slurry guiding plate and digital micrometers for thickness adjustment. A slot-die applicator is available optionally for contactless coating of thin films, featuring stainless steel shims for precise gap control. The vacuum chuck can be optionally equipped with a 120 L/min oil-free vacuum pump to enhance substrate adhesion during coating.
An IR light heating cover is also offered optionally to provide top-side heating up to 120°C, controlled by a digital temperature controller. Users should consider slurry viscosity and quality carefully, as these significantly affect film thickness accuracy and uniformity. The system can be modified into a roll-to-roll coater with a 350 mm wide R2R device for continuous coating processes.
