Bottom-Heated Film Coating Machine XN-VCHB – PLC-Controlled, Ambient–150 °C, 0–120 mm/s, 1 kW | Xnergy

Name: Bottom-Heated Film Coating Machine XN-VCHB

Equipment Type: PLC-Controlled Film Coating Machine with Bottom Heating Plate

Product Code: XN-VCHB

Product Introduction:

The Bottom-Heated Film Coating Machine XN-VCHB is designed for high-temperature coating research applications, including ceramic coatings, crystalline coatings, battery electrode coatings, and specialty functional films. The system provides uniform bottom heating and precise coating control, making it suitable for laboratory studies and process development requiring controlled thermal conditions during coating.

Product Features:

• PLC-based control system with intuitive parameter setting and operation
• High-precision coating thickness control with minimum resolution of 0.01 mm
• Adjustable coating speed to meet different material and process requirements
• Bottom heating plate ensures uniform temperature distribution across the coating area
• Vacuum chuck design enables stable substrate fixation during coating
• Compact structure with clean and modern industrial design
• Suitable for research and development of advanced functional films

Main Specifications:

Values measured by Xnergy. Typical values for reference; not guaranteed unless otherwise specified.

Application Areas:

• Ceramic coatings — high-temperature ceramic film deposition under controlled bottom heating
• Crystalline coatings — temperature-controlled crystalline thin-film preparation
• Battery electrode coatings — electrode slurry coating with in-process bottom heating
• Specialty functional films — functional thin-film research requiring temperature control during coating
• Laboratory studies and process development requiring controlled thermal conditions during coating

Recommended Operating Procedure:

1. Power on the XN-VCHB and verify that the bottom heating plate, integrated vacuum unit, PLC, and touch screen are operating normally. 2. Place the substrate (foil or sheet-type material) on the integrated vacuum adsorption platform (L415 × W200 × H32 mm) and engage the vacuum chuck to fix the substrate. 3. Set the target heating temperature on the PLC touch screen (within ambient–150 °C range, ±2 °C accuracy). 4. Allow the bottom heating plate to reach the setpoint and stabilize before starting the coating run. 5. Set the target blade gap (within 0–5 mm) using the blade gap adjustment, with thickness control resolution 0.01 mm. 6. Set the target coating speed (within 0–120 mm/s) and coating stroke (within 0–300 mm). 7. Load the coating slurry. 8. Initiate the coating run; the system advances the coating across the heated platform under bottom-heating conditions. 9. After completion, allow the substrate and heating plate to cool before removing the sample. 10. After each run, clean all wetted surfaces with appropriate solvent (water or NMP, depending on the slurry system used) and dry thoroughly before the next run.

Packaging & Storage:

The XN-VCHB ships fully assembled with the integrated vacuum adsorption platform, bottom heating plate, blade-gap adjustment mechanism, integrated vacuum unit, PLC control system with touch screen, and digital temperature controller. Store on a stable laboratory bench or workstation in a clean, dry environment, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and corrosive atmospheres. Disconnect the power supply when the equipment is not in active use. Inspect the heating plate, vacuum line, blade-gap mechanism, and PLC system periodically for wear or contamination.

Safety:

For research and industrial laboratory use only. Always follow standard laboratory safety protocols when operating coating equipment with heated surfaces. Do not touch the heated bottom plate or coated substrate during operation — surface temperatures up to 150 °C can cause burns. Always wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat) when handling slurries, solvents, and coated electrodes. When working with NMP-based slurries or other regulated solvents, operate in a well-ventilated fume hood and follow local regulations on solvent use and recovery. Disconnect the power supply before any cleaning, maintenance, or component replacement. Allow the heating plate to cool to room temperature before any cleaning or sample-handling operations. Refer to the included user manual for complete safety and operating instructions.

Note: Specifications listed above are typical and for reference only. Actual performance depends on the specific slurry chemistry, coating thickness, heating temperature setpoint, substrate type, and ambient operating conditions — consult published literature and our technical team for guidance on specific coating-and-heating protocols.
