MM Swing Cathode™

The MMS is our mid-size external-mount Swing Cathode™.

The magnet pack swings in a programmable rotary axis that is independent of the rotating target tube, making it an ideal system for display or 3D part coating.

Uniformity of < ±1% can be achieved on a static substrate (compared to > ± 15% on static substrates when not using swing).

Other uses for Swing Cathodes™ are to pivot the magnet bar to a burn in location or to make magnet bar position adjustments via remote control.

Swing Duo™ software helps determine motion profiles.
