Automatic Film Applicator
Lab Equipment, Large Area Coating, Thin Film Coating
Automate Your Coating Processes for Larger Substrates
Pair with a range of applicators for bar coating, doctor blade coating, and more
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Applicators and Accessories
This adaptable coating system automates the movement of your chosen applicator, from Mayer bars, blade coaters, and gap applicators, to Sheen, Baker, or Bird applicators. Set the optimal speed, from 0.05 mm.s-1 to 250 mm.s-1, for your applicator and solution consistency to create uniform coatings across a large area. Choose between a simple glass stage for easy cleaning or a vacuum stage to securely hold your substrate in place.
Mix and match the automatic system with our interchangeable applicators or opt for one of our complete coating kits:
- The Ossila Bar Coater includes a set of compatible Mayer rods for coating thicknesses from 6 µm to 200 µm.
- The Ossila Doctor Blade Coater enables micron-level thickness adjustments with a single applicator.

Automatic Film Applicator Features
Intuitive Stage Design
The glass plate stage is pre-printed with a grid pattern so you can quickly setup and align your samples. Combined with a drip tray that can be mounted at either end of the system and software to set the direction of travel, setting up your experiments is simple.
Quick-Lock Design
Designed with a quick locking magnet, the stage can be removed and reinstalled with ease for quick and efficient cleaning between coatings. The drip tray includes the same design so you can clean up excess solution from your system.
Wide Range of Coating Speeds
Our enhanced motorized stage provides smooth, continuous movement across a wide range of speeds. The motor can achieve speeds as low as 0.05 mm.s-1 and as high as 250 mm.s-1, allowing you to coat a wide range of solution viscosities without forming defects.
Large Coating Area
Perfect for coating large area samples, including sheet samples up to A4. With a maximum travel distance of 290 mm and maximum coating width of 225mm, scaling up your coating processes with a wide range of techniques has never been easier.
Interchangeable Applicators
The design of our automatic film applicator ensures the widest compatibility possible with different applicator techniques. Switch from bar coating to adjustable gap applicators with ease to choose the best technique for your research.
