The OCTOMARC Mg coating system is based on magnetron sputtering working in an inert or reactive atmosphere. The basic version of the OCTOMARC Mg6 system is offered with max. 6 circular or rectangular unbalanced magnetrons. In the extended version OCTOMARC Mg12, larger rectangular magnetrons are mounted. The equipment allows combining DC/HiPPMS power sources to sputter metal or compound targets.
