Plasma XCT This fully automated plasma station from Plasmatreat is part of the company's Openair product line and is designed to surface-treat seals made from a variety of materials, including plastics, TPEs and rubber. Surface treatment improves the adhesive characteristics of the seals, and allows application of a durable painted, flocked or bonded finish.
What's new? Fully automated, atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment. During a changeover to a new profile, the unit automatically adjusts the axes to the new position of the plasma nozzles in less than a minute, using the integrated control system. By using a preset plasma nozzle configuration in relation to the seal, the nozzle is quickly repositioned. The unit can store up to 1,024 profile settings.
Benefits Greater efficiency and reduced operating costs, reject rates and maintenance time. The system is particularly suited to manufacturers with frequent product changes. A suction system prevents material buildup in the machine, reducing the need for cleaning.
