OPT-1550P Fully Automatic Optical Coating Equipment

Product Overview

OPT-1550P is a fully automatic optical coating system developed for mid- to high-end optical applications, focusing on coating uniformity, strong adhesion, and long-term process stability.

By combining full optical-grade coating capability with a more compact chamber size and optimized energy configuration, OPT-1550P offers a balanced solution between performance and investment efficiency.

It is especially suitable for medium-size substrates and high-density loading of small to mid-sized optical components, making it an ideal industrial platform for stable batch production.

Key Features

Balanced Chamber Design for Mainstream Optical Production

OPT-1550P adopts a φ1400 mm vacuum dome, carefully sized to meet the requirements of most optical coating applications without excessive capacity redundancy.

Compared with larger systems, this chamber size is better suited for:

• Medium-size glass substrates

• Dense loading of lenses, optical components, and decorative parts

• Production lines requiring frequent product or process switching

Value Delivered

• High effective loading efficiency

• Reduced unused chamber space

• Greater flexibility for diversified product structures

Magnetic Fluid Sealed Central Rotation for Long-Term Stability

The system features a central rotation mechanism driven by magnetic fluid sealing, ensuring consistent mechanical performance throughout extended production cycles.

Compared with conventional mechanical sealing designs, this structure provides:

• Significantly lower leakage risk

• Smoother rotation with reduced vibration

• Longer sealing lifetime and lower maintenance frequency

Value Delivered

• Stable coating uniformity over time

• Reduced process drift during mass production

• Reliable performance for high-yield manufacturing environments

Ion-Assisted Deposition for Enhanced Film Performance

OPT-1550P supports Hall, Kaufman, and RF ion sources, enabling a wide range of ion-assisted deposition (IAD) processes.

Ion assistance during deposition:

• Improves film-to-substrate adhesion

• Increases coating density

• Enhances wear resistance and durability

Value Delivered

• Especially effective for AR, AF, and reflective optical coatings

• Meets reliability requirements of high-value optical components

Optical-Grade Thickness Control for Batch Consistency

The system is equipped with the INFICON XTC/3 thickness controller and a 6-point rotating crystal sensor, enabling accurate multi-point thickness feedback across the coating area.

An optional optical monitoring system can be integrated for precise control of multilayer optical films.

Value Delivered

• Improved thickness accuracy

• Excellent batch-to-batch repeatability

• Stable spectral performance for optical coatings

Multi-Process Compatibility for Higher Equipment Utilization

OPT-1550P supports a wide range of coating materials and film structures, allowing one system to serve multiple production needs, including:

• Metal films

• Optical filter coatings

• Reflective films

• Anti-reflection (AR) coatings

• Anti-fingerprint (AF) coatings

Value Delivered

• One system for multiple product lines

• Reduced capital investment

• Higher overall equipment utilization
