MSKAFAIIVCFH110 Automatic Film Coater with Heatable Vacuum Bed up to 120°C and 250mm Micrometer-Adjustable Doctor Blade
The MSKAFAIIVCFH110 is engineered for laboratory and research applications requiring uniform thin film coatings on delicate substrates. Its heated vacuum bed securely holds substrates in place via micro-sized pinholes, preventing movement during coating processes. This feature is particularly beneficial when working with thin or flexible materials, such as ceramic tapes or battery electrodes.
The coater supports precise control over film thickness and coating speed, enabling consistent results across a variety of coating materials. The integrated heating elements within the aluminum vacuum bed provide uniform temperature control up to 120°C, facilitating optimal drying or curing conditions during coating.
Key Features
- Heated vacuum bed (600 mm x 300 mm) with micro-sized holes for substrate fixation and uniform heating up to 120°C ±1°C.
- Micrometer-adjustable film applicator (250 mm width) with thickness range from 0.01 mm to 5 mm, enabling films thicker than 10 microns.
- Variable traverse speed from 10 to 100 mm/sec controlled by a 24 VDC motor for smooth and consistent coating.
- Adjustable stroke length from 10 mm to 530 mm via position switch for flexible coating dimensions.
- Stable driving system designed to handle diverse coating materials with precision.
- Optional accessories include a CE-compliant 120 L/min oilless vacuum pump and hybrid film applicators combining blade and slot die technologies.
- CE certification with optional NRTL or CSA certification available upon request.

Typical Applications
This film coater is well suited for producing uniform thin films in research and development settings, especially for ceramic tape casting and lithium-ion battery electrode fabrication. It supports coating of cathode and anode materials with precise thickness control and substrate stabilization.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The standard package includes the automatic film coater, traverse pusher, a 250 mm micrometer-adjustable doctor blade, power cable (without 220V plug), and a waste plate. An optional CE-compliant 120 L/min oilless vacuum pump can be added for vacuum generation.
For optimal coating results, operation under a fume hood is recommended. Additional accessories such as hybrid film applicators and digital thickness gauges are available to enhance process control. Users should calibrate traverse speed using a ruler and stopwatch for precise coating speeds.
