Aurel XCEL Micro Spray Coating Systems

The new Aurel System for the controlled deposition of nanomaterials for protective and functional coatings

The Aurel Mod. XCEL Spray Coating Machine is a fully-enclosed stand alone or in line unit for any high precision spray coating process in electronic and microelectronic applications.

The unit has the ability to deposit thin layers with high uniformity at very low flow rates without clogging, contamination and overspray of expensive materials such as inks, nanosuspensions, resins, etc.

The machine is basically composed by a head moving on robust X-Y linear axis driven by fast linear motors and it can be equipped with many features according to the particular applications, such as additional motorized and programmable movements (Z, theta or tilt), heat or vacuum plate, vision camera, multiple nozzle configuration (up to three nozzles working in parallel) and much more.

The XCEL spray coater is used for both Lab scale and production volume (automatic loading/unloading system are available as well as in line conveyored transport).

Main application are: microspraying of nanomaterials (graphene, NTC, other 2D materials) in inks and liquid suspensions for fuel cells and organic solar cells manufacturing, advanced battery technology, functional and protective coating, deposition of a base layer for dopants, etc.

The Aurel spray coating units use Low Volume Low Pressure (LVLP) spray valves that provide consistent coating of low to medium viscosity fluids.

Microliter to milliliter amounts can be reliably dispensed in round patterns with diameters ranging from 4.3 to 50.8 mm (0.17" to 2.0") and in spiral patterns with widths up to 165.1 mm (6.5").

The combination of adjustable fluid flow, adjustable nozzle air and post-air cutoff provides excellent spray control.

The integrated controller is set for length of time and air pressure required for precise coverage. Programmable nozzle air delay after each spray cycle keeps the spray nozzle clog-free and reduces maintenance and downtime.
