Scalable roll-to-roll platforms
Bridge lab development and pilot production with controlled, continuous coating on flexible materials.
Continuous coating platform
Roll-to-roll machines process flexible substrates in a continuous flow. They combine coating, drying, and optional in-line measurement using the same slot-die setup.
When to choose roll-to-roll
Best when moving from sheets to longer runs and process continuity. Suited for testing throughput, drying, multilayer builds, and registration.
Typical users
R&D teams and pilot lines in batteries, solar, printed electronics, and advanced materials working toward scale-up.
Key use cases and applications
Continuous coating of flexible substrates for applications such as batteries, solar cells, printed electronics, and functional films – ideal for multilayer structures, process scaling, and in-line quality validation.
Defense
Best when moving from sheets to longer runs and process continuity. Suited for testing throughput, drying, multilayer builds, and registration.
Carbon capture & DAC
Best when moving from sheets to longer runs and process continuity. Suited for testing throughput, drying, multilayer builds, and registration.
Battery

Flexible slot-die heads for evolving roll-to-roll needs
Developing advanced materials for defense applications involves overcoming strict performance and security constraints
Platform & tooling
- The machine acts as the base platform, providing motion, stability, and process control.
- The slot-die head is the interchangeable part that defines how material is applied.
- You can switch heads to move between applications without replacing the full system.
Compatibility logic
- Each roll-to-roll machine supports a defined range of slot-die head configurations.
- Compatibility depends on machine type, coating width capacity, and mounting/fluid setup.
- The platform sets the limits, the head is selected within that range.
Key variables
- Slot-die heads are selected based on a few core parameters tied to your application.
- Width defines coating area and throughput, material (steel or PEEK) ensures chemical compatibility, and precision level matches the required coating quality.
- These variables ensure the head fits both process and performance needs.
