Features
High performance
- The new design evaporation source has a 100 mm full staggered ceramic boat arrangement providing excellent coating uniformity. The machine also has a lower aluminium consumption and improved boat life. With access to both sides of the source, a simpler wire feed design and reduced maintenance. The addition of a pneumatically activated shutter provides faster response times.
Improved winding
- The renowned BOBST winding mechanism incorporates a 6-drive system giving 3 independent tension control zones with true tension control for virtually wrinkle-free film. With minimum roller contact, the VISION K5 HS has been designed for careful handling of heat-sensitive substrates such as PE.
Metallizing
- Largest coating window in the industry which along with the new Ø 700 mm drum improves aluminium collection efficiency.
Lower production costs
- Faster venting and pump down times and reduced production cycle result in more rolls per day and savings in production costs. The Total Cost of Ownership is reduced compared to the previous model.
High productivity
- The VISION K5 HS has faster coating speeds (860 m/min at 2.2 OD) with a 20-minute improvement in cycle time. The Shutter on the Hinged Shield makes the cleaning process easier. Diffusion pump lids on the vessel wall also means reduced cleaning and the compact vacuum pumping group results in the smallest machine footprint in the industry.
