Technology Enhancing the Quality of Life
The FlexTRAK™ is the latest addition to March’s TRAK series
of highly configurable, high throughput radio-frequency
vacuum gas plasma systems. Its universal architecture
makes it an ideal plasma processing solution for lean medical
manufacturing environments. Whether the manufacturing
environment requires high-speed automation, standalone or
cleanroom processing, the FlexTRAK modifies surfaces
through direct, downstream or ion-free plasma.
Gas plasma treatment provides a fast and efficient method
for cleaning, surface modification and coating. It delivers
better performance, higher quality and reliability through
improved bonding, increased lubricity, wettability, hydrophilicity,
hydrophobicity and biocompatibility
SUPERIOR PLASMA PROCESS QUALITY
AND AUTOMATION IN ONE SYSTEM
FEATURES and BENEFITS
SMART TUNE™ MANAGEMENT SYSTEM provides closedloop
plasma control that optimizes the RF system and
minimizes tuning time. The system automatically recycles to
a plasma-ready state, compensating for changes in vacuum
pressure, temperature and varied lot sizes. Maximum power
to the chamber is achieved in seconds with a proprietary
algorithm that constantly measures forward and reflective
power inside the chamber.
INTUITIVE SOFTWARE AND GRAPHICAL INTERFACE allows
easy touch-screen programming and safe operation hierarchical
interfacing. An unlimited number of alphanumeric
recipes can be saved and instantly accessed. The
FlexTRAK™ platform is Ethernet, Internet- and LAN-ready.
Real-time process representation allows statistical data
gathering.
THREE-AXIS SYMMETRICAL CHAMBER provides fast
processing and unparalleled treatment uniformity and
process consistency.
PROCESS CONTROLS monitor all critical process parameters
and collect and record lot process data to ensure repeatable
results.
EASILY INTEGRATES with a variety of process equipment
including various, bond, dispense, mold and marking
equipment.
UNIQUE, SLIM STRUCTURE requires minimal floor space,
and all service components are easily accessible from the
front.
