Unlike most others on the market, the Ossila Slot-Die Coater is compact and small enough to fit inside fume hoods and gloveboxes.
It can be moved between different labs and environments. To start, just plug it into a power socket.
With the simple control panel and in-built software, you can easily programme complex multi-step processes.
Different parts of the system can be controlled independently – without the need for an external computer connection.
The integrated syringe pump gives you precise control over the amount of solution entering the system.
This enables accurate and repeatable control over the thickness of your deposited film coating.
The slot-die head is designed to produce highly-uniform coatings across the width for many different types of solution viscosities.
Made of stainless steel, the head is compatible with a wide range of solutions.
You can increase the channel thickness in intervals of 100μm, allowing you to process various solutions with just a single slot-die head.
The 3-point levelling system and micrometer gauges enable high-precision alignment of the stage (relative to the head).
This minimises the height variations across the stage’s travel length.
The head height (relative to the stage) can also be adjusted with micrometer gauges – helping you improve meniscus stability or change the minimum thickness of the wet film.
Substrate temperature can be controlled up to a maximum of 120°C.
This can improve solution wetting by reducing surface tension or manipulating the drying rates.
The smooth motorised stage with speeds from 1mm/s to 10mm/s offers a wide processing window for meniscus control.
Up to 20 different coating recipes (with a maximum of 50 steps each) can be saved.
You can also adjust solution dispense rates, dispense volumes, dispense times, stage speed, and distance moved.
