- Before bonding, printing, varnishing or deposition
In the lab, every trial repeats
- 7" touchscreen: fine tuning, gases and power shown live
- Millimetre-scale treatment, for small samples
- Remote control for automated protocols
- Four process gases: activate, functionalise or etch
A cold plasma, dense in reactive species
Cold, yet active
Plasma is ignited by double dielectric barrier, then sustained by radio frequency. It stays cold: sensitive substrates do not heat up.
Precise to the millimetre
A footprint of about 1 cm², 2 to 10 mm from the part. Only the target zone is treated.
The gas for the effect you want
Argon carries the plasma. The process gas, your choice, decides the effect on the surface.
One controller, the DF3
7" touchscreen, local or remote control over RS232 and Ethernet.
Technical specifications
Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from a vacuum plasma?
The Plasma Jet works in open air. No chamber, no pumping: plasma forms a few millimetres from the part, continuously on the line.
Can it be automated on an existing line?
Yes. The DF3 is driven over RS232 and controlled remotely over Ethernet (VNC or TCP-IP), from a robotic cell or a PLC.
Which gases does it use?
Argon as working gas (4 – 10 slm), air or nitrogen for cooling (8 – 20 slm). Process gas: argon, argon/hydrogen, argon/oxygen or nitrogen.
Is it suited to a research laboratory?
Yes. Millimetre precision, the DF3 screen and four process gases make it an R&D tool for materials science, surface chemistry and nanotechnology.

Precise zone
Compact torch
A nozzle that blows plasma straight onto the area to treat. The most common way to activate a precise zone on a 3D part.

Wide web
Plasma curtain
A continuous curtain across a full width, for panels, sheets or webs on the move. Seven working widths from 60 to 500 mm.

Automated station
Turnkey cell
An enclosed cell with a Cartesian robot, plasma source and safety interlocks. You program a path, the station replays it identically.

The complement
Test inks
A treatment you do not measure is not a process. The calibrated ink tells you in seconds whether the surface has passed the target threshold.

Whole surface
Surface source
A discharge spread across the whole electrode, treating flat parts and flexible films uniformly. No sweeping, so no over-treated band.

Film deposition
Deposition station
When activating is no longer enough: a 1 to 300 nm functional film deposited by atmospheric plasma, anti-corrosion or anti-scratch depending on the precursor.
