ION VAPOR DEPOSITION SYSTEM Ipsen International Inc., Rockford, Ill.

Ipsen Ivadizing Systems provide an approved al­ternative to cadmium plating for the aerospace and automotive industries. Ipsen's Ivadizer plat­ing equipment uses ion vapor deposition to apply a high-performance, dense coating of aluminum with superior adhesion and thickness uniformity. Since the Ivadizer creates a plasma-assisted coat­ing it provides excellent throwing power, extend­ing the deposit readily into part cavities. Even temperature-sensitive parts can be safely and ef­fectively coated using the Ivadizing process. The basic models include a rack coater for large com­ponents and a barrel coater for small, high-volume parts.
