BDS GLOW 3000/6000 AFP Generator

The BDS-Glow AFP is a high voltage DC generator with AFP (Active Front Panel) touch screen designed for glow discharge processes.

Used to power R/D and industrial plasma processes, it exhibits high power conversion efficiency (90%) as well as an extremely stable operation.

Typical applications include plasma cleaning or etching of a substrate prior to a thin film coating.

An optional process gas feedback enables  control of up to two mass flow controllers (MFC). Using this option, the selected glow discharge process will be stabilized using a variable gas flow to regulate the generator’s output set-point.
