The Surfx Advantage
Our in-line argon plasmas will not damage thermally sensitive polymers or electrically sensitive semiconductor components.
After years of product development, Surfx engineers have delivered a breakthrough in argon plasma technology. Our machines provide all the advantages of vacuum plasmas, low temperature, low voltage, non-damaging, variable chemistry, and real-time process control, but with the ability to integrate the tool into assembly equipment operating at atmospheric pressure. The uniform beam of reactive gas flowing out of the plasma head is 100% electrically neutral with no streamers, no sparks, no electrostatic discharge (ESD), no ultraviolet (UV) light, and no particles. Now for the first time, plasma cleaning and activation can be safely integrated into the electronics assembly line. This breakthrough will enhance product yield, while at the same time lowering production costs.
Our products and services are what set us apart.
Our mission is to deliver the highest quality products for your manufacturing needs.
10X HIGHER THROUGHPUT
The 100-mm-wide argon plasma beam cleans and activates surfaces much faster and more uniformly than open air plasma with 10-mm-wide spots.
100% TOTAL CONTROL
Surfx machines monitor and control every process parameter in real time. Nobody else offers this level of process traceability.
0% DAMAGE
Surfx argon plasmas generate an electrically neutral reactive gas beam below 80 C. Unlike open air torches, no streamers, sparks, UV light, or particles shoot out of the head.
100% HIGH QUALITY
We deliver high-quality products manufactured to exacting standards. We are an established company that delivers as promised.
Providing Industry Solutions
Our breakthrough argon plasma systems are designed for integration into smart factories, where surface cleaning and activation is best applied immediately before the bonding step. No more hassles with batch scheduling, or losing the active surface while the parts sit around in a storage cassette. The plasma chemistry is flexible and adaptable to changing process needs: argon-oxygen for removing organic contamination, or argon-hydrogen for stripping away metal oxides. Total process control ensures that every part is treated properly and its treatment is traceable.
How can plasma help?
- Activates surfaces for bonding in seconds
- Eliminates hazardous chemicals from the factory floor
- Increases yield by incorporating surface preparation immediately before bonding
- Yields higher quality product at significantly lower cost
