PI stands for peak technical performance and is considered a global market and technology leader in the field of precision positioning technology with accuracies down to nanometers. It is our aim to further extend our pioneering role to the world market and we have exactly what it takes. PI offers a technological spectrum and a vertical production range that are beyond competition worldwide. However, our most important concern is to continually inspire our customers with advanced positioning solutions.
Maximum positioning accuracy is now obligatory in many application areas. Semiconductor manufacturing, microscopy, surface measurement technology, biotechnology, medical engineering and automation technology often require positioning systems with resolutions and repeatability in the nanometer range. Add to this the requirements for short response times, vacuum-compatible design and function over a wide temperature range.
The term "scientific instrumentation" covers a variety of different applications, starting with microscopy via beamline processes through to the wide field of laboratory automation. They all have one thing in common: Precise and mainly piezo-based positioning systems have proven their value under extremely varying conditions of use. Parallel-kinematic systems are the system of choice for multi-axial solutions.

PneumatiCoat Technologies offers several Particle ALD systems for coating powders, flats and objects. Our expertise in ALD coating processes and chemistries allow us to design and build easy to use, highly functional systems. PneumatiCoat's expertise in system scale-up can help to quickly transform your research into commercial products.

PneumatiCoat's Particle ALD Particle Coating Reactors (PCR) are the most versatile ALD systems available on the market today. ALD on particles represents one of the most exciting areas of research available to an increasingly bottoms-up world focused on surfaces and interfaces. With a modular fluidized bed chamber, researchers can easily swap their reaction chambers to quickly change chemistries and execute rapid prototyping of coatings, executing complex experimental designs with plug-and-play productivity. Small scale production can be carried out swiftly and reliably during new product definition and development exercises. The PCR series of reactors uses the same intuitive control software as the LFR series, only optimized for particle coating. The practice of particle ALD is not trivial and our team has combined decades of experience building particle coating reactors that optimize process conditions to ensure homogeneous coatings, high yields, and most importantly, reliable and reproducible results.

The PneumatiCoat laminar flow reactor (LFR) is designed for maximum functionality with minimum footprint. The bench-top series of reactors is focused on providing researchers with an affordable, easy to use system for depositing ALD coatings on flats and objects. The LFR system is capable of coating a wide range of chemistries including oxides, nitrides, phosphates, fluorides, and bare metals. Common chemistries include, but are certainly not limited to, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, BN, AlN, Pt, W, Co, Fe, and Ni. The simplicity of the reactor is paired with intuitive and easy to use control software that allows users to quickly create and store coating recipes for consistent results and quick setup. Reactor systems are tailored to each customer's needs, which helps eliminate extraneous hardware and cost.

Many of the available ALD systems in the market today are focused on semiconductor research and are installed in cleanrooms. At PneumatiCoat Technologies we realize the tremendous opportunities that are available for ALD on objects for applications "Outside the Cleanroom". We build reactor systems that are highly adaptable to our customers applications and our Systems Team has tremendous experience building systems for applications outside of the standard semiconductor application field.
