Galileo announce the availablity of a new design of automotive headlamp metaliser using sputtering as the deposition technique. This machine will perform cycles in less than 5 minutes which is very fast for a sputterer of the size of an automotive metalising machine. More: A greater range of surface finishes and colours are available from the sputtering process. The technique produces more durable coatings because of the extra energy in the particles as they bombard the surface to be coated.
