Warrington, UK-based firm Henniker Plasma has launched the Cirrus and Nimbus atmospheric plasma treatment systems which are said to solve a number of manufacturing issues associated with poor adhesion.

Available as both single and dual nozzle versions, the systems are suitable for surface activation and cleaning of materials including polymers, metals, glass and ceramics.

Both models are simple to operate via the front panel soft-keypad; they can also be interfaced with external control equipment using the rear panel Sub-D connector which provides a variety of I/O control inputs and status read-back to ensure seamless operation with production lines or robot cells.

The Cirrus and Nimbus operate from a standard single-phase electrical outlet and require only compressed air for operation. The compact controller features an interlocked airflow regulation unit as standard so that no ancillary equipment is required.

The systems address a range of specific material treatments including: plasma cleaning; plasma surface activation to improve adhesion; PEEK and other engineering polymers; PCBs; metals; ceramics and glass.
