High-accuracy automatic film coating system with vacuum substrate fixation and micrometre-adjustable applicator
The Cell Lab Automatic Film Coater is a precision benchtop coating instrument engineered for battery electrode preparation, thin-film deposition, and materials research. It features a vacuum chuck with an integrated pump, a micrometre-adjustable doctor blade, and a smooth variable-speed traverse system, enabling reproducible coatings with excellent uniformity.
Equipped with a touch-screen interface, the coater allows researchers to easily control coating speed, stroke length, and film thickness parameters. Its compact and durable structure ensures high stability and precision, making it suitable for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state battery R&D. A heating cover is optionally available for slurry drying and electrode solidification.
Built-in Vacuum Chuck and Pump
Provides secure substrate fixation, ensuring uniform coating across flexible or thin electrode materials.
Micrometre-Adjustable Applicator
Enables precise control of coating thickness from 0.01 mm to 3.5 mm for fine-tuned film formation.
Variable Speed Traverse System
Delivers smooth and stable coating motion with adjustable speeds from 0–100 mm/s and ±10 mm/s accuracy.
Intuitive Touch Screen Interface
Simplifies parameter setup and operation, offering precise digital control for repeatable results.
Compact and Robust Design
Space-efficient benchtop footprint with solid mechanical stability and integrated vacuum system for consistent doctor blade travel.

Q1: What coating materials can be applied with this system?
It supports electrode slurries, inks, polymers, and nanoparticle suspensions on various substrates.
Q2: Can the heating cover be integrated later?
Yes. The system supports modular upgrade to include a heating cover for controlled drying.
Q3: How does the vacuum system assist coating quality?
The built-in pump ensures firm fixation of flexible foils, preventing surface wrinkles or misalignment.
Q4: Is coating thickness precisely adjustable?
Yes. The micrometre applicator allows controlled film thickness between 0.01–3.5 mm.
Q5: Is this suitable for glove box installation?
Yes. Its compact benchtop size and self-contained vacuum system make it glove box compatible.
