    Automatic Film Coater

    The Automatic Film Coater is a high-precision flatbed coating machine meticulously developed by Shandong Annimet Instrument Co., Ltd. It is designed for large-area coating preparation of paints, adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, conductive materials, nanomaterials, and functional materials for new energy and optoelectronics. The instrument uses an adjustable blade coating method with a thickness range of 10-10000 μm, adjustment resolution of 0.001 mm, and blade straightness of ±0.0025 mm. Coating speed is steplessly variable from 1-100 mm/s. Effective coating sizes are 200×300 mm and 300×400 mm (...

Product Introduction 
The automatic film coater adopts a flatbed adjustable blade coating principle with a high-precision linear motion system and adjustable blade to precisely control wet film thickness. Vacuum adsorption holds substrates such as copper foil, aluminum foil, plastic sheets, and glass that cannot lie flat by themselves. The adjustable blade features a split-type mechanical zero-point adjustment mechanism, ensuring consistent thickness starting point and eliminating human error. The modular base plate design allows quick replacement of plates with different materials or sizes. Top heating maintains temperature during coating or dries the film afterwards. The 5-inch touchscreen combined with mechanical buttons enables precise operation even with gloves, significantly improving experimental efficiency and repeatability.

Key Features 
Mechanical Fixed Zero Point The blade features a split-type mechanical hard-limit zero adjustment, quickly and precisely setting and locking the zero point for consistent thickness start every time.
Touchscreen + Physical Buttons Critical functions can be operated via mechanical buttons, allowing accurate operation even with dirty gloves, avoiding frequent screen cleaning and enhancing convenience and durability.
Modular Quick-Change Base Plate Base plates of different materials or specifications can be easily replaced, enabling one machine for multiple uses, saving lab space and cost.
Vacuum Chuck Clamping Vacuum hole diameter 1mm, spacing 20×20mm, external water-circulation vacuum pump, suitable for copper foil, aluminum foil, plastic sheets, glass, and other rigid or hard-to-flatten substrates.
High-Precision Adjustable Blade Imported stainless steel blade, thickness range 10-10000 μm (customizable), adjustment resolution 0.001 mm, straightness ±0.0025 mm, ensuring uniform and accurate coating.
Top Heating System Heating temperature range from room temperature to 150°C with ±1.5°C uniformity, suitable for heat-sensitive materials and in-situ drying.
Stepless Variable Speed Coating speed 1-100 mm/s steplessly variable, accurately simulating different process conditions with excellent repeatability.
Wide Material Applicability Suitable for lithium battery slurries, perovskite precursors, photoresists, conductive polymers, nanomaterials, hydrogels, liquid metals, and other advanced materials.

FAQ 
1. What are the advantages of an automatic film coater over manual coating?
Manual coating is affected by operator experience and feel, resulting in inconsistent thickness and uniformity. This machine uses an adjustable blade with mechanical zero setting, stepless speed control, and quantified weight pressure, fundamentally ensuring repeatability and thickness accuracy.
2. What substrates are suitable for vacuum adsorption?
Vacuum adsorption is suitable for substrates that cannot lie flat by themselves and rigid materials such as copper foil, aluminum foil, plastic sheets, and glass. The vacuum suction holds the substrate flat, preventing wrinkling or movement during coating.
3. How is the blade zero point set?
The blade uses a split-type mechanical hard-limit zero adjustment mechanism. Loosen the lock, rotate the zero adjustment screw until the blade lightly touches the base plate, then lock the zero. Thickness is then adjusted digitally from this zero point, ensuring consistent starting position for every coating.
4. How is the heating function used?
Heating is top-mounted, with a temperature range from room temperature to 150°C. It can preheat the substrate before coating or dry the wet film after coating. Temperature is set via the touchscreen with uniformity of ±1.5°C.

Automatic film coating technology plays a fundamental and critical role in new energy, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and functional materials. From lithium-ion battery electrodes and perovskite solar cells to OLED flexible devices, high-quality thin film preparation is a prerequisite for device performance optimization. Traditional manual coating is greatly affected by human factors, making it difficult to ensure film thickness and uniformity, leading to poor experimental reproducibility. automatic film coaters, through precise mechanical motion, adjustable blades, vacuum adsorption, and temperature control, achieve standardized and quantifiable coating processes, significantly improving wet film consistency and thickness accuracy. They are not only suitable for conventional coatings and adhesives but also meet the stringent requirements of advanced material R&D. As new materials and energy technologies develop rapidly, automatic film coaters have become indispensable core equipment in research institutes and production enterprise laboratories.
