CoreFlow’s solution for flexible substrate allows :
- Vertical axis flattening capability of ±5μm - ±25μm depending on web material, thickness and tension
- Non-contact between web and aero-mechanical surfaces ensuring no bottom-side contamination or mechanical damage to the web
- Maintaining tension uniformity along the web in conjunction with the R2R system
- Ability to control the web temperature through conductive heating from aeromechanical surfaces via very thin air layers
- Uniform temperature distribution – no hot spots
- Fast thermal response due to a relatively small air gap
- Thermal decoupling of media from the support system
- Can be operated under vacuum conditions (down to 20 Torr. abs.)
