Overview
The TBJ-X3-ABO3-UV Automatic Film Applicator is a perovskite-specific device equipped with imported High Accuracy Mayer Rods, integrated heating, Vacuum chuck function, and equipped with air knife and bracket. The device uses nitrogen as the gas source, and accelerates the drying of the perovskite solution through a 360-degree adjustable air knife, which can achieve nano-level dry-film thickness. The Automatic Film Applicator is designed to solve the problem of inconsistency caused by artificial film due to factors such as speed and pressure. The reproducibility of the film is significantly improved through precise control, which is convenient for obtaining consistent wet-film on different substrates.
Features
1. Equipped with imported High Accuracy Mayer Rods, Spreader accuracy up to +/- 0.003mm.
2. Integrated heating function, temperature range RT +~ 180 ℃, uniformity +/- 3 ℃.
3. Vacuum chuck function, effectively fixed substrate.
4. Equipped with air knife and bracket, using nitrogen gas source, the angle of air knife can be adjusted 360 degrees to accelerate solution drying.
5. Nano-scale ultra-thin Dry-Film Spreader can be realized.
6. Spreader speed digital display, 5~ 180mm/s stepless speed (< 5mm/s can be customized).
7. Optional portable split UV curing lamp, main peak wavelength 365nm, optical power 3200W.
8. Effectively improve film conformity and reproducibility and reduce human operation differences.
Principle
The Automatic Film Applicator uses High Accuracy Mayer Rods to scrape the surface of the substrate to form a wet-film. The Spreader process is driven by a motor to achieve adjustable speed, uniform linear motion to ensure Spreader uniformity. The device's integrated heating table can preheat or thermostatic control the substrate, and the Vacuum chuck function ensures that the substrate is flat and fixed during the Spreader process. After the Spreader, the wet-film is blown with an adjustable angle nitrogen air knife to accelerate solvent evaporation, resulting in rapid drying and control of the final dry-film thickness. Optional UV curing lamps for UV curing of specific coatings.
Applications
Perovskite materials preparation, photovoltaic research, photovoltaic materials development, functional coatings laboratory, New materials research and development
Standards
The data did not mention specific compliance criteria
Steps
1. Place the substrate to be Spreader in the coating table Vacuum chuck area and turn on the Vacuumpump to fix.
2. Select the appropriate Mayer Rods according to the required film thickness and install them.
3. Set the heating table temperature (if required) and preheat.
4. Place an appropriate amount of perovskite solution in front of the Spreader starting line.
5. Set parameters such as Spreader speed in the control panel.
6. Start the Spreader program, and the coating applicator will automatically scrape at a constant speed to form a wet-film.
7. After the Spreader is completed, immediately use an air knife (connected to a nitrogen source) to blow and dry the wet-film.
8. For UV curing, irradiate the coating with an optional UV lamp.
9. Spreader is over, turn off the power and gas source of the equipment, clean the coating applicator and countertop.
Notice
• The power supply of the device is 220V 50Hz, please ensure that the power supply matches.
• When using an air knife, make sure that the nitrogen gas source is connected correctly and stably.
• The temperature of the heating table is high, please pay attention to prevent burns during operation.
• Before Spreader, make sure that Mayer Rods is clean and free of damage, and confirm its corresponding Spreader Film thickness according to the model.
• Vacuum chuck holes may be blocked by foreign matter and need to be cleaned regularly to maintain adsorption.
• UV curing lamp has high power, and protective Glasses need to be worn when using to avoid direct ultraviolet rays to the eyes and skin.
• The net weight of the equipment is 65KG, and it is necessary to pay attention to safety when moving to prevent dumping.
• Customized parameters (such as coating speed < 5mm/s, Vacuum Area, etc.) should be clearly stated when booking.
