IPC 700
Environmentally friendly PVD chrome plating for security printing
Intaglio Plates Coater (IPC) is the line of machines specifically dedicated to security printing.
Two IPC models were designed to meet customer requirements based on productivity characteristics.
The two systems, IPC 1100 and IPC 700, differ mainly in the chamber size and the technologies that can be installed.
The environmentally friendly chrome-plating process is fully automated, using high-energy metal ions combined with a plasma environment in which a multilayer nano-film is deposited.
Plates to be chrome-plated are loaded onto a patented rotating drum enclosed in a vacuum chamber with maintenance-free magnetic levitation vacuum pumps and ion evaporation sources.
