DOMINO pica

DOMINO pica The ideal PVD equipment for small batches and quick turnarounds

DOMINO pica

The DOMINO pica is a small, compact PVD system and is designed for fast, short processes. It is used in particular for coating small parts from different industries running small batches up to a few 100 tools and still impresses with its flexible technological options.

  • Fast and short batch times of 2-4 hours
  • APA Arc, HiPIMS sputtering or hybrid technology
  • Combination also with PACVD and nitriding process
  • Small, compact system for PVD startups with a turnkey concept from Oerlikon Balzers
