Protective Coatings

DLC & PVD coatings for the automotive industry

Problem

In the automotive industry, precision parts, measuring equipment and system components are crucial for quality, process reliability and productivity. However, in continuous use, wear, friction and material build-up on highly stressed tools, clamping systems and test fixtures lead to inaccurate measurement results, higher reject rates and cost-intensive downtimes. Manufacturers and suppliers are also under increasing pressure to continuously improve efficiency, quality and durability. Automotive components such as piston pins, valves and injection systems are also exposed to extreme mechanical and thermal loads – resulting in wear, friction losses and declining efficiency. At the same time, the requirements for sustainability, energy efficiency and service life optimization are increasing, making innovative coating technologies ever more important.

Solution

With laser-based PVD coating technology, ANTACON offers an innovative solution for the increasing demands of the automotive industry. Our high-performance DLC coatings reduce friction and wear, prevent material adhesion and reliably protect sensitive surfaces – from precision parts and measuring equipment to system components and automotive parts. The result is longer service life, stable processes and precise measurement results with lower maintenance and operating costs. In this way, ANTACON helps manufacturers and suppliers to permanently increase quality, efficiency and sustainability in production.

Advantages of DLC and PVD coatings

  • Up to 5 times longer service life for highly stressed components

  • Reduction of lubricants & energy costs

  • Less friction

  • Corrosion & abrasion resistance for extreme operating conditions

  • Ideal for series production
    (from batch size 1 to medium series)
