Intermediate-level - FOM vectorSC

The FOM vectorSC is designed from the ground up to allow for easy control over coating on both rigid and flexible substrates. By integrating industry-grade components and user-friendly recipe features, the FOM vectorSC provides a seamless, accelerated user workflow and excellent control for coating a wide variety of active materials. 

• Microporous vacuum chuck with enabled uniform heating
• Motorized, high-precision chuck motion system (10 µm steps)
• Infinite-step height and lateral position manual dial for accelerated user workflow
• Quick control buttons panel for manual operation
• Substrates up to 300×200 mm (A4)
• Coating stripe widths from 1 to 200 mm, stripe lengths up to 300 mm
• Coating speeds from 0.01 m/min to 5 m/min
• Precise control of all coating parameters – pump rate, coating speed, coating gap, and drying temperature
• Seamless glovebox integration option
• An integrated pump with enabled cloud-based software allowing for remote operation and diagnostics

Robust slot-die sheet coating system

The system is designed for the fast-and-easy coating of functional materials in laboratories aiming for multi-user high throughput research on topics such as organic and perovskite electronics, sensors and energy storage. Similar to the scalarSC tool the vector is a compact setup that can be easily installed inside a laminar flow hood or a glovebox. The vectorSC incorporates a proprietary design for excellent substrate flatness due to the microporous structure of the substrate holder. 

Step up from spin coating

The incorporation of a microporous substrate holder will provide homogeneous suction avoiding extra steps that are typically done to fixate the sample into the substrate. Together with the software-integrated pump, the FOM vector will allow for high throughput, and accelerated workflow.

Simple handling and alignment

Both flexible and rigid substrates of up to 300×200 mm in size can be freely positioned on the high-flatness aluminium-made sample holder. The Infinite-step height and lateral position manual dial will allow for systematic, quick-reaction experimental runs and systematic studies where the operator has full control at all times.
