MSK-AFA-I is a CE Certified automatic tape casting coater designed to produce films with consistent thickness by using micrometer adjustable applicators or fixed thickness applicators. It has an unique driving system to produce smooth coating on all types of materials. The flat vacuum chuck is built in to hold substrate sheet in place which is useful when coating on thin substrate and making uniform tape casting. One micrometer adjustable applicator is included for immediate use. This machine can be used for research on ceramic tape casting and Li-Ion battery electrode coating.
