PTL-SC-6-LD Coating System has been designed to automate the entire process to avoid operator fatigue and errors associated with it. In the manual SILAR process, the operator has to perform hundreds of repetitive dipping into the solution and water. It is very difficult to control dip duration and number of dips in a manual process which can last hours. In the automated unit, the operator just needs to clamp the substrate into the holder and program the controller with required dip cycles and duration.

PTL-SC-6-LD has sample holders of 6 positions for programmable. The dipping speed, dip duration, retrieval speed, and dry duration can be set for each beaker station, and one hot plate on the bottom can heat all breakers up to 80°C. In this technique, the thin film is deposited on a glass substrate following a chemical technique called successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The technique involves multiple dipping of the substrate in a given solution and D.I. water, both temperatures can be varied from case to case.
