New type of evaporation source,
μ-ARC
Increased aluminum content ratio and improvement of surface roughness of AlCrN coating
The cubic structured AlCrN coating with a high aluminum content achieved higher hardness and improved surface roughness.
Among the metallic elements in the cubic structured AlCrN coating, the limit of aluminum content was generally considered to be about up to 65 at%. This innovated new evaporation source μ-ARC enabled an aluminum content more than 70 at%. This innovation leads the coating trend into next generation. The AIP-iX series will contribute to customers' coating development.
New etching system
Me-FAPE (Me-Fape)
Improved etching performance in deep trench.
The new etching system, Me-FAPE, improves the coating adhesion in deep trench areas, and also improves the uniformity of etching performance in the coating zone.
The combination of μ-ARC and Me-FAPE greatly improves life span over conventional high-end cutting tools.
New control system
System status visualization function／Large Monitor
Equipped a system status -monitoring system collecting a dramatically larger range of operational data than before. These data support smoother identification of the cause when trouble occurs. In addition, the system accumulates data every batch, visualizes the status of the equipment, and makes predictive maintenance easier.
