Solving the Scale-Up Challenge
In R&D environments, reliable process transfer to production can be limited by the control capabilities of smaller plasma systems. Nova eliminates this barrier by delivering the same automation logic, process parameters, and data recording features found in Henniker's large-scale systems.
This consistency enables researchers and engineers to develop, test, and validate plasma treatment processes in-house, with complete confidence that results will translate directly to production.
"The Nova represents the next step in bringing industrial plasma precision to the laboratory," said Terry, Managing Director at Henniker Plasma. "It allows R&D teams to innovate and refine their plasma processes with the same control logic and automation used in production environments - ensuring faster development cycles and a seamless route to scale-up."
Benefits at a Glance
