Sputtek - About

Sputtek Inc. founded in 1994 is a materials surface engineering company specialized in advanced vacuum technologies.

At Sputtek Inc. we believe that the engineering and scientific innovations are the only source for business excellence.

Sputtek designs and manufactures coatings and coating deposition systems and we strive to use our expertise for providing a high quality service for multiple industries.

The company is fully dedicated to engineering and scientific innovation applied to manufacturing coatings and coating systems.

This technology is being used to manufacture coatings for various applications:

• tooling industry, dies and moulds, cutting-tools
• aerospace engine components
• transmission systems
• pumps and valves for oil fields
• pharmaceutical tablet presses

Sputtek - Equipment

The coating process is carried on fully automated deposition systems that together with the software controlling system has been manufactured following our own design.

We designed 2 types of PVD machines, utilising PECAP™ technology, 1 m3 and 1.5 m3 equipped with cathodic arc circular sources. Also we are building PVD machines equipped with planar cathodic arc sources or sputtering sources or their combinations.

 Sputtek - Technology

At the core of our achievements stands our scientists' extensive R&D experience. Through their efforts a proprietary technology Plasma Enhanced Cathodic Arc Process (PECAP™) has been developed which combines applied plasma-physics and metallurgy at highest level.

The uniqueness of our process resides on the usage of several mechanisms for additional ionisation and concentration of the plasma that results in deposition dense coatings with minimal internal stresses in the balance equilibrium conditions.
