Midsized metalizer offers fast cycle
times
Users of a modular metallising system for coating plastics can choose between sputtering, thermal evaporation, or CatArc cathodic arc for rapid cycling and higher quality.
Vergason Technology's latest Rapid-Cycle Metalizing System, the Press Side 3500 offers rapid cycles and medium batch sizes to minimise work-in-process and maximise continuous flow while improving quality and cost efficiency Choose from any combination of three deposition sources: sputtering, thermal evaporation, or CatArc cathodic arc

Modular design, allowing extensive custom configurations, combined with the best mid-sized footprint PVD coating system on the market today, said Vergason, make the PS3500 a 'perfect solution for coating line optimisation'.
The PS3500 system is designed for sub 4 min cycle times for PVD (physical vapor deposition) processes on plastics substrates.
Fully featured with state-of-the-art controls and components the PS3500 includes a data logging Industrial PC for process and historical data analysis.
Designed for keeping synchronous pace with medium to high volume injection molding operations, the system produces substrates for automotive, commercial, decorative, ornamental, and industrial applications.
Our newest addition to the Press-Side line, the mid-sized PS3500 is engineered for flexibility in metalising requirements and low cost/part results.
Built into each system is Vergason's know-how gained from designing, manufacturing, installing, and operating hundreds of vacuum coating systems around the world.
In addition to the PS3500, VTI's Press-Side family of Rapid Cycle Metalizers includes the PS4000SL, and the PS3000 systems.
