In R&D settings, transferring a process to production is often hindered by the limited control offered by smaller plasma systems. Nova removes this barrier by providing the same automation logic, process parameters, and data-recording capabilities found in Henniker’s larger production systems.
This consistency empowers researchers and engineers to develop, test, and validate plasma treatment processes in-house with confidence that results will translate directly to production.
"Nova marks the next step in bringing industrial-grade plasma precision to the laboratory," said Terry, Managing Director at Henniker Plasma. "It enables R&D teams to innovate and refine their plasma processes using the same control logic and automation used in production, supporting faster development cycles and a seamless path to scale-up."
Key Benefits
- Compact benchtop footprint with the control power of larger systems
- Automated, recipe-driven operation via an industrial PLC
- Broad compatibility with various gases and materials
- Ideal bridge between R&D, pilot production, and full-scale Nebula systems
Compact, Automated, and Scalable
Nova integrates PLC automation, recipe-driven control, and data traceability—features drawn from Henniker’s large-format Nebula production systems—into a compact package.
This benchtop device delivers industrial-grade plasma capability in a small form factor. By pairing PLC automation, recipe-driven control, and optional CoatX nano-coating platform, Nova lets R&D teams design and validate surface treatment processes with full scalability toward Henniker’s Nebula production systems.
