What Is Pre-owned Spin Coater?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
A spin coater utilizes the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to form a coating film on a flat substrate. Since it can efficiently produce a high-quality coating film, it is widely used not only for coating metals and lenses but also for cleaning, drying, and spin-edging.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Versatile spin coaters are expensive. The price varies depending on the size and options of the product. Therefore, selecting a spin coater with the necessary and sufficient capacity is important.
\nWe understand that everyone wants to install new equipment. However, budget constraints may make a pre-owned spin coater an option. The biggest advantage of a pre-owned model is its low price. It is possible to get a pre-owned model with the desired performance at a reasonable price in a timely manner.
\nHowever, the pre-owned spin coater with the desired performance is not always available on the market. You may end up with a compromised spin coater that does not fully meet your needs. Even if you get a used model that is almost exactly what you want, it may have unexpected defects, no manual, or other problems because someone else has already used it.

\n\nActive has engaged in manufacturing spin coaters for a long time.

\n\nIn addition to manufacturing new models, we also sell pre-owned spin coaters, although we do not always have them in stock. When we offer pre-owned models, we also replace internal parts and motors. Even if you purchased a pre-owned Active spin coater from an external vendor, we can trace the serial number on the back of the machine to determine its type and specifications. You are also entitled to our after-sales service. Please contact us if you have any problems with your pre-owned coater or find any defects.\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pros and Cons of Pre-owned Spin Coater<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
What are the pros and cons of pre-owned spin coaters? Keep in mind the following points to select a pre-owned model that can achieve your tasks.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Pros<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Low price<\/div>\n
Pre-owned models are less expensive and more affordable than new ones. It is also attractive to have the possibility to purchase a better-performing spin coater within a limited budget.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Readily available<\/div>\n
Since the pre-owned models are finished products, they can be shipped soon after accepting an order. This factor is important for those who want to use the machine immediately.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Cons<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Desired model is not always on the market.<\/div>\n
It is difficult to find a pre-owned model with exactly the desired performance on the market.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
It does not look good.<\/div>\n
Pre-owned models are subject to wear and tear, such as color fading and scratches. While this is not a problem as long as it works, it is better to feel good if it is clean.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Unstable rotation control<\/div>\n
It is unknown how the previous owner handled the machine. Therefore, it may contain defects such as unstable rotation control compared to new equipment.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Subject to particles<\/div>\n
Spin-coated substrates from pre-owned spin coaters may be susceptible to particles such as invisible dust due to equipment deterioration or internal contamination. Visible particles can be removed to some extent by wiping. However, if you are concerned about the accuracy of the coating film, this may be a concern.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Shorter motor life-span.<\/div>\n
The motor is inevitably the most worn part since a spin coater utilizes centrifugal force from high-speed rotation. Pre-owned models may have worn-out motors at the time of purchase. The malfunctioning motor should be repaired shortly after installation. Therefore, you may be bothered with arranging repairs, costs, and the days required.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
No instruction manual<\/div>\n
You may acquire a pre-owned spin coater but not know how to install or operate it without an instruction manual. Worse, you cannot find a contact for the vendor or manufacturer. You can use it anyway. But in the worst case, you may not be able to take full advantage of its features, and it may end up as a waste.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
No sample stage<\/div>\n
A spin coater cannot be used with just the main unit. Many models require accessories such as a sample stage for the substrate and a vacuum pump. If the pre-owned spin coater does not come with these essential items, you must make them from scratch. In particular, since the sample stage should be made to accommodate the substrate, the accompanying stage may not be used for your purpose.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
We suggest that you review the above points unique to pre-owned spin coaters and then reconsider whether you should choose a pre-owned model or a new one that meets your needs. Although it is tempting to purchase a multifunctional spin coater, you may be surprised that you can purchase a new machine by focusing on the necessary and sufficient features.

\n\nWe manufacture easy-to-use spin coaters and distribute them at low prices. The ACT-220AII, our flagship model, is especially recommended. The compact machine accommodates the substrate of up to \u03a6100mm or \u25a170mm and is our most popular model\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Conclusion<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    \n
  1. Pre-owned spin coaters are better than new ones because of their ready availability and price.<\/li>\n
  2. Pre-owned spin coaters have unexpected or hidden defects and problems.<\/li>\n
  3. A new machine with necessary and sufficient features can be purchased at a similar price to the pre-owned one. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    Pre-owned spin coaters are readily available and can be purchased at a lower price. However, there are some issues to be aware of.
    \nPre-owned spin coaters look old due to deterioration caused by age and use and have unstable rotation control compared to new ones. Also, particles are likely to be produced in the finished form due to internal deterioration. Moreover, you may have to worry about the repair since the mounted motor is already worn when purchased. These factors make the purchase of a pre-owned model unattractive.
    \nIn the meantime, Active's pre-owned spin coaters are covered by our after-sales service. We will be happy to advise you on using the machine or help you with any problems.\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    How to handle heat problem<\/div>\n\t
    Spin coaters can efficiently produce a coating film. Whether the coating film can be produced uniformly depends on conditions such as the viscosity of the chemical solution and temperature. If these conditions change, achieving a uniform film thickness will not be possible.<\/div>\n\t
