TEKNIKER's photonic and laser manufacturing platform consists of a high-power ultrashort-pulse laser equipped with a dynamic multi-beam head for high-productivity parallel processing. It is integrated into a 3-axis machine for precision surface structuring, ablation and marking across a wide range of materials.

The platform covers applications ranging from digital photonic production to the functional texturing of moulds, optical components and industrial surfaces.

Equipment

• PVD coating chamber for large 3D components (batch mode)
• High-performance vacuum system (primary and turbomolecular pumps)
• Sputtering power supplies and bias sources for adjusting voltages and coating properties
• Substrate heating system for controlling microstructure and adhesion
• Advanced, automated and digitalised control system for all process parameters (recipes, sequences and real-time monitoring)
• Basic sensors and instrumentation for monitoring pressure, power, temperature and cycle times

• Development of complex coating architectures (multilayer coatings, gradients and functional layers) on 3D and large-sized components
• Fine-tuning of coating composition, morphology and thickness for demanding applications (tribology, barrier coatings, optics and electrochemical functionality)
• Evaluation and optimisation of PVD coatings for advanced batteries, fuel cells, electrolysers and smart glass
• Coating uniformity studies and scaling-up from test specimens to real components
• Support for R&D projects and proof-of-concept testing of new coatings in collaboration with companies
