Case Study – Cranfield University, Thick film coater
Situation
Cranfield University needed an upgrade to a manually operated coating system to allow automated logging and control. This was to allow more consistent deposition of thermal barrier coatings.
Action
Cametrics specified, developed and implemented a system based on our existing ALICE control library.
Benefits
Key features include:
- E-beam system for thermal barrier coatings.
- Based on our ALICE library
- Modular to allow h/w variants.
- Used to control two systems
- PLC based vacuum controller
PC based sequencer
