Enclosed cell at the station
Turnkey cell
An enclosed cell with a Cartesian robot, plasma source and integrated safety. You program a path, you store it, and the station replays it identically.

- First reply within 48 working hours, from an engineer, not from an automated form.
- Rental available — test the assumption on your own site before committing to the investment.
- Laboratory in Québec City — your samples are treated and characterised here.
- Quoted to specification, with no commitment. We say so plainly if plasma is not the right answer.

The machines our clients look at alongside this one, and the consumable that checks the result.
Precise area
Compact torch
A nozzle that blows plasma straight onto the area to be treated, a few millimetres from the part. The most common way to activate a precise area.
View the page → Powders and granulatesSpecialised stations
Some materials cannot be treated like a part: a powder requires every grain to pass through the plasma, in line and with no manual intervention.
View the page → The complementTest 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.

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.

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.

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.

When this equipment is the right one
A manual treatment cannot be qualified: it varies from one operator to the next, from one station to the next, from a Monday to a Friday. As soon as repeatability has to be proven — to a customer, to an auditor — the human gesture becomes the weak link.
A run that has to be repeatable
The path is programmed once, stored, then replayed identically. The parameter becomes data, not know-how.
A treatment currently done by hand
The spread between operators disappears, and with it the scrap nobody could explain.
A machine-safety requirement
The enclosed housing, the door interlock and the integrated extraction deal with ozone and exposure.
How it works
What happens at the surface, and what that means for your line.
The cell brings the plasma source, the motion and the safety features together in one piece of equipment. The Cartesian robot carries the source along a programmed path — linear, circular or rotary — which the station stores and replays without drift.
Three equipment levels cover the full journey: the development bench where the right parameters are still being sought, the compact pre-production cell, and the complete cell able to carry up to three sources with gas mixing and precursor injection.
The figures
The values to check before quoting, plus the document to pass on to your integrator.
What to plan for on your side
The values an integrator asks for before quoting: footprint, utilities, extraction and protocols.
Equipment that does not talk to your PLC stays an isolated station. Before any order, we validate with you the real constraints of your line : protocol, footprint, available utilities and extraction.
These values are indicative and are confirmed at the process study stage, on the configuration actually retained.

Before you write to us
The questions we are asked most often, answered before you have to ask them.
How do I know whether this equipment suits my part ?
By sending it to us. We treat your samples in our Quebec City laboratory and you receive a costed answer within 48 hours : surface energy before and after, the parameters retained, and our frank opinion if plasma is not the right answer to your problem.
Can it be rented before buying ?
Yes. Rental serves to validate a production hypothesis on your site, with your parts and your operators, before committing to an investment. Terms : [x].
What documents do you provide for a customer audit ?
The corresponding process file : the plasma parameters retained, characterisation methods, validation results on your parts and operating procedures. For regulated markets, the level of documentation is adapted to your sector's requirements.
And if no configuration fits ?
Our engineers then design the reactor to specification : dimensions, gases, controllers, interface, sized on your material and your throughput. See the custom reactors →
What this equipment lets you do
Send us a part.
The quickest way to find out whether the turnkey treatment cell suits your process is to let us treat your material. 48 hours for a first answer, no commitment.
