The Stratus Atmospheric Plasma Manufacturing Cells for surface treatment
The Atmospheric Plasma Manufacturing Cell is a 3-axis desktop or cart mounted unit for automation of the plasma surface treatment process.
Henniker’s Stratus manufacturing cells integrate plasma surface treatment with robotic automation, enabling precise and repeatable surface activation and cleaning for improved adhesion, bonding and coating applications. Different models in the range cover work-area options from 200 x 200mm to 800 x 1200mm with up to 150mm of z-axis motion, each being programmable over the full range of 3-axis motion.
Benefits of using Atmospheric Plasma Robot Systems:
- Improved Adhesion: Plasma treatment enhances the surface energy of materials, leading to stronger bonding of adhesives, coatings, and inks.
- Surface Cleaning: Plasma can effectively remove contaminants and organic residues from surfaces, ensuring a clean and uniform surface for subsequent processes.
- Automated Production: Integrating plasma treatment with robotic systems streamlines production processes, enabling efficient and repeatable surface treatment.
- Applications: Atmospheric plasma treatment can be applied to a wide range of materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, and glass.
Examples of Applications:
- Automotive, Aerospace, Filtration: Treating surfaces for better adhesion of paints, adhesives, & coatings.
- Medical Devices: Cleaning and activating surfaces for bonding and sealing components.
- Electronics Manufacturing: Preparing surfaces for soldering, bonding, and coating.
- Battery Technology: Enhancing the adhesion of electrode materials and separators.
