Highland Scientific stock components for the optical and opthalmic industries supplying customers in various different industry sectors. Part of their stock list includes components which are used in planetary calotte substrate rotation systems.These rotation systems are used in optics, more specifically in coating chambers. A coating chamber is made up of several components, which form to produce subsystems within the chamber. The first section of the chamber holds the component, rotating it during the coating process. There are two options when it comes to the rotation system; planetary dual rotation or calotte single rotation.
It is generally accepted that in cases where precision and consistency are crucial to the end result, planetary rotation systems are considered the optimal choice; whereas calotte systems are used if there is more room for manoeuvre. This latter method produces more parts per run.
For more details on planetary calotte substrate rotation systems and the various components in stock please visit the main Highland Scientific website.
