Roll-to-Roll Plasma Processing

The R-Series plasma system from March provides roll-to-rollprocessing of thick and thin film, fabrics and other web
material. Plasma treats filter materials to increase wettability
and decrease flow resistance. It also activates surfaces for
extruded tubing and provides metal cleaning for wire/thin
metal substrate roll applications.
The plasma vacuum chamber and components are sized tomeet customer roll diameter/length and production require-
ments. The system is designed for easy threading of new
rolls with minimal operator interface. MarchΒs proprietary
P2CIM software controls and
monitors critical process
parameters (i.e., pressure, gas
flow, power and temperature)
and displays roller speed,
tension, end-of-roll, and broken
web signals. Features and Benefits: Variable roll speed for modifying dwell time based onmaterial requirements Optional automatic tension control for processing
materials of varied thickness Double-sided honeycomb for large chambers prevents
wall deflection under vacuum Various roll widths accommodated for ultimate flexibility For roll materials, plasma treatment promotes surface
modification for: Increased wettability Optional automatic web alignment for precision rollrewinding Improved permeability Increased lubricity Power-to-power electrodes for treating both sidessimultaneously Improved adhesion Materials etchingGas plasma offers an environmentally safe process withuniform, repeatable results within a roll, and from roll to roll.
The R-Series systems are specifically designed for long-term,
low cost of ownership performance. Optional independent wind and unwind drives to
maintain optimal material tension Tru-Temp electrodes re-circulate fluid to maintain a
