Not all plasma systems, or plasma companies, are alike.

Hello loyal blog readers, 

I am often asked what makes Plasmatreat different than other companies selling similar equipment.

Please allow me to explain a bit about Plasmatreat as a company and the plasma equipment we produce.

Plasmatreat is the inventor of atmospheric plasma and currently holds approximately 130 international patents on the design.

Our equipment is manufactured in Germany, and I am sure you can appreciate the quality of both the engineering and manufacturing associated with this.

 Plasmatreat’s philosophy of sales is to provide our customers with a solution to their bonding challenges and not just sell a commodity.  As such, we have a full lab, accessible to our customers, in our Ancaster Ontario, Elgin Illinois and Belmont California locations.

We provide service and stock spare parts for North America from our Ancaster location so next day delivery of parts is certainly possible.  24hr service support is available 7 days a week.

 

I would like to highlight a few of the features that are included in our plasma systems.

 

Our generators constantly monitor the plasma voltage, plasma current and sir supply to the jet in order to maintain consistent process parameters.  The limits for each of these parameters is software programmable so the allowable variation in plasma output is determined by the end user.

 Although the process parameters are monitored as noted above, Plasmatreat has developed an independent method to ensure, and obtain QS9000 compliance, that plasma is actually being generated in the jet.  This is accomplished through the use of an optical focusing lens that looks directly at the plasma and this signal is sent to the generator, via a fibre optic cable, where it is monitored in real time to ensure 100% feedback that the plasma is present.

Through our control panel, the voltage, frequency and duty cycle of the plasma can be varied allowing the system to be set up for ideal processing parameters.

The incoming power supply from any customer normally has some degree of fluctuation throughout the day.  Our generators have a power regulator that ensures that the plasma voltage remains constant regardless of the incoming voltage. (95-250VAC is the allowable fluctuation with our smallest systems and 340-500VAC for our three phase systems)  Without this feature, the plasma intensity would vary with the incoming voltage affecting the treatment of the part.

All of our cables contain multiple layers of electrical shielding to ensure that no EMI is present to interfere with other sensitive electronic equipment or possible operator safety due to shock or pacemaker interference.

I have listed some of the features that set us apart from the other plasma equipment you may find on the market and I suggest you become curious as to whether these features are also available on the systems you are comparing ours to. Some of these features have safety concerns attached to them.

I feel very confident that once you have a chance to compare, you will be able to make the correct decision for your company.

Tim
