Oerlikon Metco wins international design awards with thermal spray coating machine

Surface One, a new thermal spray coating machine developed by Oerlikon Metco, has won the Red Dot Design Award and the International Design Excellence Award.

“Breaking the mold in regard to design in order to enhance the effectiveness and user-friendliness of the technology—this has been superbly achieved by Surface One,” said the Red Dot Design Award jury.

The compact, modular machine features a customizable user interface with integrated operator guidance. Safety and usability improvements help limit operator exposure to the thermal spray environment, simplify part lifting, minimize maintenance downtime, and reduce system cleaning.
