Core competencies

The process and application development work of the institute is based on 6 core technologies that utilize electron beams and plasmas. These 4 core technologies are being continuously advanced and are utilized by a range of industries. The scaling up of these technologies for coating and processing large surfaces at high rates is a key aspect of our development work. Our know-how and our own resources for process and hardware development allow us to turn innovation directly into practical solutions.

 

Electron beam
technologies

We utilize thermal, chemical, and biological effects of accelerated electrons in the energy range of 10-300 keV for industrial-oriented technological and engineering development, as well as developing tailored electron-beam sources.
