Upgradeable

Artisan has been created to reduce the impact of the main variable in vacuum deposition - the operator - by acting as a control interface which is both user and machine-friendly for today's complex vacuum systems and processes. Real-time reaction to process information allows efficient vacuum process management.

Easy to use
Data is presented in an easy-to-read format on a large touchscreen monitor, which also simplifies parameter setting. The PC/PLC-based system has many advantages over predecessor controllers, offering optimal and repeatable processes.

Modular
Every deposition system is different as are customer requirements. The modular nature of Artisan and associated systems enable Satis RTC to cater for any pumping and deposition system configuration.

Future system upgrade is easily accommodated with Artisan

Customisable
The power behind our controller lies in the interface - the exchange point between operator and machine. Both need information to run efficiently. For the operator this is presented in a user-friendly manner. The familiar analogue vacuum gauge is reproduced on screen in addition to digital readouts.

Data can be presented in any way you choose, thermometer-style, bar, or dial gauges to show the full range of vacuum and process parameters - pressure, temperature, voltage, current, water flow, deposition rates etc. Simulated LEDs are also available to indicate the system status.

Trend analysis of vacuum/process parameters is possible in real-time.

Vacuum/process settings are achieved through the touchscreen system. This is done using a virtual rotary knob or slider control.

OEM Sub-System Integration
Artisan is not just a stand-alone controller; full integration of OEM sub-systems is achievable. Examples include the Satis RTC VCP-600 Pump Control Station, XCC-101 Quartz Crystal Head Indexer, GIC-100 Gas Inlet Controller, Inficon IC/5, RGA modules, deposition sources, optical monitors and ion/plasma sources.

Industry-standard
Artisan runs under industry-standard operating systems. Remote access via a modem is built-in with future PC/PLC technology upgrade compatibility.

Satis RTC listens to its customers and designs to your needs.
