GP Plasma: Powering the Onshoring Revolution with Unmatched Expertise As onshoring drives technology back to the USA, GP Plasma leads the way in strengthening domestic manufacturing. Our expertise? Transforming existing older equipment into cutting-edge systems—whether retrofitting, or building from the ground up. Even if only the coating chamber remains, we can rebuild everything around it with advanced plasma technologies like PECVD and Sputtering, delivering performance that rivals brand-new machines. Need a custom solution? We design and modify chambers to exact specifications, ensuring every component meets modern demands. This extends equipment life, boosts efficiency, and supports localized, high-quality production. From our Tucson, Arizona factory, we specialize in vacuum deposition chambers and pilot production systems, offering contract R&D services for rapid prototyping and scaling. With over 50 years of combined design experience, we tailor solutions for industries like solar and electronics, making technology transfer seamless and impactful. GP Plasma isn’t just a partner in onshoring—we’re a catalyst. By retrofitting legacy systems and crafting bespoke pilot equipment, we’re helping U.S. manufacturers stay ahead in a tech-driven world, proving that innovation and expertise are key to this manufacturing renaissance. #onshoring #retrofit #upgrade #vacuum #electronics #displays #pecvd #PVD #coating #thinfilm #mems #optical

?? Celebrating Excellence: Dr. Norbert Schwarzer, Recipient of the Frank International Biophysics Award at SIPS 2024! ?? We are thrilled to honor Dr. Norbert Schwarzer, CEO of the Saxonian Institute of Surface Mechanics (SIO), Germany, as the distinguished recipient of the Frank International Biophysics Award at SIPS 2024!

Do we really have a Theory of Everything?

Learn more about Siemens LCS and SES system integration project success with GP Plasma's Plasma Deposition System project. An inline roll-to-roll coater was used as the example in the article attached. The control system types at a glance: ?? Line Coordination System (LCS): This module enables recipe and ISA-88 batch-controlled production processes to be automated in the TIA Portal. For example, production sequences for various networked machines along an entire vacuum coating production line — or any other recipe-driven production line — can be coordinated, synchronized, and monitored in real time. ?? Sequential Execution System (SES): With this module, process engineers can flexibly design and automate individual production steps at machine and line levels. Production sequences and parameters can be adjusted at any time — even during operation — without making changes to the S7-1500 PLC’s programming. If desired, operators can manually access the automatic sequence online and jump to another step or adjust setpoints as required. This may be necessary, for example, due to variations in feedstock or, in general, if a different sequence for individual production steps is required for flexible paths through production.

Why did the plasma in the vacuum deposition chamber refuse to settle down? Because it knew that if it did, it would just become "ion-onymous" with the substrate, and nobody wants to lose their charge in life! ?? Speaking of keeping the charge, GP Plasma offers an excellent way to maintain your lead through our contract R&D and pilot production services. Our inline coater holds substrates vertically for coating and can deposit materials using both Sputtering and PECVD. We can also build pilot systems for your product ramp up and retrofit older equipment to keep it competitive. ??
