DLC coating on the parts you supply.
Send us your parts and we apply DLC — diamond-like carbon. Lower friction, lower wear, and it can be deposited on almost anything that can be put in a vacuum.
- Friction against steel
- 0.05–0.20
- ta-C hardness
- 4000–9000 HV




Graphite plus energy.
A pulsed carbon arc.
Our plasma source fires a high-current pulsed cathodic vacuum arc. No toxic by-products, no harmful waste — and the film is tuned by pulse width, frequency, number and ion energy.
| Type | Hardness | sp³ |
|---|---|---|
| Me-DLC a-C:H:Me | 500–2000 HV | 35% |
| C-DLC a-C:H | 1500–4000 HV | up to 75% |
| ta-C tetrahedral amorphous carbon | 4000–9000 HV | 80–85% |
After delivery: service, spare parts, consumables.
Maintenance support for the equipment, plus the source and the test instrument sold on their own.
