  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COATING USING A HOT WIRE
    Publication number: 20140050865
    Abstract: A coating apparatus (700) is provided including: (i) a vacuum chamber (16) for coating a substrate (12) with coating material heated by a wire (14); and (ii) an actuator system (18) including a motorised drive (20). The actuator system is configured for tensioning the wire (14) during the coating. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing a coated substrate (12) is provided including: (i) tensioning a wire (14) by an actuator system (18) including a motorised drive; and (ii) coating the substrate (12) with a coating material (28), the coating being under vacuum conditions. The coating includes heating at least a portion (14a) of the wire (14) to an operating temperature for inducing a temperature increase in the coating material before the coating material is deposited over substrate (12).
