FOM alphaSC – Benchtop Sheet Coater
The FOM alphaSC is a benchtop slot-die coating tool designed for versatile use with both rigid and flexible substrates. Engineered to deposit thin films of solution-processed materials across a wide range of substrates, it serves as a scaled-down representation of industrial roll-to-roll and sheet-to-sheet manufacturing technologies. With its user-friendly interface and precise control over coating speed, thickness, and substrate heating, the FOM alphaSC enables seamless transitions from lab-scale materials research to pilot-scale coating processes.
