While the typical end block rotates a target tube around a stationary magnet bar, the IM external-mount end block continuously rotates the magnet bar inside a stationary target tube.
- For coating the insides of tubular-shaped objects
- For decorative or tool coatings (where objects are placed around the cathode)
The IM can be configured for targets with inside diameters of either 80 mm or 125 mm.
