FIBER RECOATER
ProCoater
The ProCoater is an ultra-compact fiber recoater adapted for a wide range of fiber diameters and coating compounds. The ProCoater is specifically designed for ease of use and flexibility in mind, making it ideal for production as well as research & development applications.
The ProCoater can be used with square shaped plastic or silicon based moulds depending on resin types.
The plastic moulds are designed to accommodate the most common high index resins and are availa-ble in sizes 250, 400, 500, 600 and 900 μm. Custom-ized sizes can be made upon request.
The silicon moulds are designed to accommodate low index resins and are available in sizes 250, 400, 550, 650 and 750 μm.
To ensure very fast cycle times the ProCoater uses an array of high power and wavelength adapted UV LEDs generating a typical curing time of less than 3 seconds.
The ProCoater can be programmed with four different recoating programs, easily selectable by the touch pan-el. The recoating programs and all general settings can be accessed and modified through an external PC pro-gram.
The ProCoater is powered either from an external power supply or the internal re-chargeable battery. The recoat-ers ultra-compact design and battery operation makes it ideal for portable use or where the space is limited.
