PR Newswire (US)
The Crystal(R) Power System Delivers Unique Power-Delivery and
Arc-Management Functions That Enable the Development of New,
Coating-Fabrication Processes FORT COLLINS, Colo., April 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ:AEIS) today announced that it has earned a design win
valued at more than $10,000,000 for Crystal(R) power systems from a
major architectural-glass manufacturing company in North America.
The Crystal systems will be shipped over the next 12 months and
deliveries will span six separate factory locations. The Crystal
high-power system was selected because it offers power-delivery and
arc-management functions not found in any other commercially
available power system. Consequently, the Crystal platform offers
exceptional process stability, throughput and film quality --
benefits-of-choice for this glass manufacturer with its focus on
state-of-the-art, large-area coatings for glass windows and doors.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030825/AEISLOGO ) The
scale of this win reflects the confidence this leading manufacturer
maintains in the Crystal system to run its challenging,
dual-magnetron sputtering applications across multiple fabrication
sites. It also reflects this customer's confidence in AE's
committed service and applications support. "AE has a record of
partnering with architectural-glass coaters to deliver power
systems with value-added arc-management functionality," noted Dr.
Hans Betz, president and CEO of AE. "We've been in the
architectural-glass market a long time, and this win reaffirms our
contribution to our customers' success." The Crystal(R)
resonant-circuit power system was specifically designed for
large-area glass-coating processes, such as architectural,
automotive, anti-reflective and mirror applications. The Crystal
platform is available in 60, 120 and 180 kW power levels and
provides wide-range, low-frequency sinusoidal process power for
dual-magnetron sputtering. The system produces stable, low-arc
energy and compensates for plasma variations -- increasing
throughput and film quality while maximizing target utilization.
