Surcotec has 6 production coating machines (sputtering et evaporation techniques) as well as a R&D flexible system.

These machines have each their own specifications, which can respond to many different customer demands (3D, 2D, Optical, ...).

The standard production of PVD coated parts rose in 5 years from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of parts in areas as diverse as watches, medical, optics, nuclear and microtechnology as a whole.

Vacuum coating technologies are now very popular because they can produce quality coatings (if well controled) and are more environmentally friendly. Indeed, the metallic material that is deposited on the parts remains confined within the walls of the machine and can be easily recovered.

The substrates used are of great diversity (metals, ceramics, polymers, glasses) and can be treated at low temperatures.
