Custom Industrial Plasma Systems are designed specifically for the process of surface modification with integration into an existing manufacturing value stream. The surface modification and throughput are carefully designed to work with the existing processes, lean manufacturing concepts, and reliable control.

Plasma cleaning and activation for adhesion optimization in a high volume process with a short takt time is one of the key uses of an industrial plasma system. The ability to uniformly improve the surface energy of a large quantity of parts with large surface energy is one of the advantages for this kind of tooling. This can all be accomplished without the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or the dust generation and waste streams common with other manufacturing process options.
Plasma etching or using plasma to reduce an oxide in a high volume manufacturing process is one of the key applications of large scale industrial plasma systems. The ability to reduce an oxide or foreign material on an electrical product package, bond pad, or lead frame in a high throughput manufacturing process is a good example of high capacity plasma processing. Plasma processing materials with this type of chemical process without creating an aqueous waste stream is a big advantage in a manufacturing environment.
Plasma coating a large number of elastomeric seals or O-rings using plasma processing in a high volume manufacturing process is a good application for custom industrial plasma systems. The ability to apply a low friction coating to elastomeric seals or O-rings provides ease in handling during assembly and the ability to vibratory bowl feed parts that were previously tacky, sticky, and unmanageable or easily damaged during handling.
Another application of plasma coating is parts that require a hydrophobic coating. An example of this is pipet tips for medical or biological experimentation. By applying the hydrophobic coating it enables a more accurate dispensing of materials.
