SECTION 2 OVERVIEW
The Labcoter™ 2 (PDS 2010) is the first portable Parylene coater of its kind. It is designed for the occasional
Parylene user, and is ideal for experimentation and small production runs.
The Labcoter™ 2 weighs 170 lb. and is powered by either 100, 110, or 220 VAC with 20, 18, or 12 amp
service. The 24" x 19.5" x 52" high cabinet is small enough to fit in almost any lab environment. The portable
system is mounted on casters, making it easy to maneuver into place for operation or storage.
Operation of the system is simple. The operator only needs to place the parts to be coated in the fixture, load
the Parylene charge, and set the machine for automatic operation.
In automatic operation, the system pumps down to a preset pressure while the furnace and chamber gauge
cycle up to their operation temperature. When all temperatures and pressures are within their set operating
parameters, the vaporizer will automatically begin sublimation of Parylene. The system will automatically
shut down after the process parameters indicate all the dimer has been vaporized.
Throughout the process, temperatures and pressures are continuously monitored. A deviation from the set
point operating ranges will initiate an audio and visual alarm, at which time a fault timer will begin timing out.
If the fault is not cleared within the time allowed, the process will be halted and secured. Should a power
interruption occur, the process will secure itself while preserving the vacuum.
