The Q150T is a compact turbomolecular-pumped coating system suitable for SEM, TEM and many thin film applications. This product replaces previous models K575X and K950X.
If you are looking for a turbo coater with two sputtering heads (for sequential coating of two metals without breaking vacuum), please see the K575XD.
The Q150T is available in three formats:
- Q150T S - a high resolution sputter coater, suitable for oxidising and non-oxidising metals
- Q150T E - a high vacuum carbon coater for SEM and TEM applications
- Q150T ES - a high resolution sputter and high vacuum carbon coater
Key features
- Metal sputtering or carbon evaporation, or both - can be combined in one space-saving design
- Fine grain sputtering for advanced high resolution FE-SEM applications
- High vacuum turbo pumping - allows sputtering of a wide range of oxidising and non-oxidising metals - suitable for SEM, high resolution FE-SEM and also for many thin film applications
- High vacuum carbon coating - ideal for SEM and TEM carbon coating applications
- Advanced 'anti-stick' carbon rod evaporation gun - simple operation, reproducible results
- Control of evaporation current profile - ensures consistently reproducible carbon films
- Precise thickness control using the film thickness monitor option
- Fully automatic touch screen control - rapid data input, simple operation
- Multiple, customer-defined coating schedules can be stored - ideal for multi-user laboratories
- Automatic vacuum control which can be pre-programmed to suit the process and material - no needle valve to adjust
- 'Intelligent' recognition of system - automatically detects the type of coating insert fitted
- Easy-to-change, drop-in style specimen stages (rotation stage as standard)
- Vacuum shut-down feature - leaves the process chamber under vacuum when not in use - improved vacuum performance
- Thick film capabilities - up to 60 minutes sputtering time without breaking vacuum (rest periods automatically built in)
- Ergonomic one-piece moulded case - easy maintenance and service access
- Ethernet with local FTP server connection - simple programmer updates
- Power factor correction - complies with the current legislation (CE Certification) - efficient use of power means reduced running costs
