Intermediate-level - FOM arcRC
The FOM arcRC is designed to simulate industrial roll-based coating in a lab-friendly format. By integrating industry-grade components and a user-friendly interface, the FOM arcRC offers a smooth, efficient user workflow and precise control for coating a wide range of functional materials. It is an optimal solution for users looking to bridge the gap between fundamental research and pilot-scale production, with a focus on controlling shear and gravity effects through variable slot-die attack positions on the coating roll.
Features and benefits:
- Lab-friendly roll-to-roll processing tool
- Multiple slot-die positions and angles
- Coating area 200 x 1000mm
- Drum enabled with temperature control
- Minimized experiment-to-experiment downtime through an active cooling system
- Multi-coating techniques equipment (Slot-die coating, blade-coating, flexographic-printing)
- Easy alignment of multiple layers
Compact lab-scale slot-die coating system
Originally designed for organic photovoltaics (OPV) and light-emitting electrochemical cell research (LEC), the FOM arcRC is ideal for researchers who wish to work with flexible substrates on a platform that is closer to a pilot-scale production line.
The arcRC is designed as a versatile research tool with an extra-large printing area capacity and yet compact enough to fit it inside a glove box. From the advent of perovskite-based photovoltaics, the technology readiness of lithium-ion batteries, to the development of any disruptive product idea that exploits the numerous advantages of thin-film technologies, the arcRC will boost any research targets from laboratory small-sized flexible devices to production relevant scales. Post-deposition treatments units such as drying/annealing and docking modules can the stand-alone FOM arcRC tool into a roll-to-roll unit. The FOM arcRC tool is well equipped for boosting the technology readiness level of your research and demonstrating proof of concepts from lab to fab.
