As multi-pass, multilayer flexible coated devices grow in complexity, the need for modulatory and versatility in a vacuum R2R system is essential. The ability to incorporate a wide range for PVD source technologies and monitoring across multiple wavelengths while still maintaining precision controls and substrate handling, including particle management, substrate interleaves, thermal control in a single pass or throughout hundreds of passes is required. Delivering state of the art R2R Vacuum deposition systems for precision layers can also be enhanced by leveraging laser technology for annealing or surface modification for individual device performance.
