4 MoDeC Innovations PLATIT's coating concept - Modular Dedicated Coating - allows the configuration of the number of cathodes, type, and position according to the coating task. MoDeC is the driving force behind PLATIT innovations. New coatings and units are developed bearing this principle in mind. LARC + cathodes LARC technology: LAteral Rotating Cathodes The new generation of the first industrial coating unit for Nanocomposite coatings The heart of turnkey coating systems for small and medium enterprises Selected Triple Coatings 3 Coatable volume: ø355x46 mm Loading with ø1mm end mills: 88 pieces 5 batches / day MoDe PL High volume compact unit The "workhorse" for coating centers 4 planar cathodes Conventional and selected Triple Coatings 3 Usable plasma volume: ø7x75 mm Coatable volume: ø7x7 mm Loading with ø1mm end mills: 156 pieces 3 batches / day Patented in 4

5 Series PLATIT's entire product line consists of "compact" coating units. These units come in one piece, with the coating chamber in the same cabinet as the electronics. This eliminates the need of costly and time consuming on-site assembly. C High performance compact coating unit is the basic machine 3 LARC + cathodes Modular upgradeable with options: DLC option TURBO option 3 LARC + cathodes + 1 CERC cathode high productivity with CERC booster OXI option SCiL option: high performance sputtering 3 LARC + cathodes + 1 central SCiL cathode LACS option: Simultan LAteral ARCing + CEntral sputtering For conventional and Nanocomposite coatings All Triple Coatings 3 and Coatings 4 Coatable volume: ø5x46 mm Loading with ø1mm end mills: 54 pieces 5 (up to 6) batches / day 3 Combination of LARC and planar ARC technologies High volume compact unit 3 newly developed LARC -XL rotating cathodes in the door planar cathodes in the back as boosters All 5 cathodes can deposit simultaneously For conventional and Nanocomposite coatings Most Triple Coatings 3 and Coatings 4 Usable plasma volume: ø7 x 75 mm Coatable volume: ø7 x 7 mm Loading with ø1mm end mills: 156 pieces 3 batches / day 5

Rods according to the hole diameters of the inserts: d >.4, 3.7, 4., 5., 6. mm TongS keep the inserts without holes, spindled on special rods. TongS are products of 4pvd, Aachen, Germany. The parts of hob satellites are set together according to the sizes and dimensions of the different hobs. Vertical holders for fine blanking tools, punches and components Flat parts, punches, and fine blanking tools should be coated on one side only. Therefore only double rotation is necessary. The vertical holders with slots enable flexible clamping of the tools by screws or magnets. 1
