Nova Fixture System
for jobber drills and tools with
short functional length
The Nova fixture system offers the best economy of all 4pvd fixture systems for
rotating substrates, which basically have to be coated on one tip mainly (drills, mills,
punches, taps, countersinks, etc.).
In Nova fixtures the tips of the substrates are oriented directly to the evaporators. So
these tips receive the highest deposition rate. Beside of this no other fixtures system
can fit in as many substrates into the coating area. As the substrates themselves do
not rotate in the Nova fixtures, this system is very simple, cheap, and reliable and has
very long maintenance intervals.
Nova fixture with twisted drills
Nova Fixtures can be used successfully, if the following conditions are met:
The PVD process can achieve sufficient adhesion and colour uniformity over
all the coating length.
The diameter of the loaded fixture is larger than 2,5 times the over all length of
the substrate.
The quantity of substrates delivered with each order is high enough to fill at
least one module completely.
4pvd offers two standard designs of Nova modules. For relatively small geometries e.
g. twisted drills up to 6,0mm diameter full circle modules (as shown above) are

preferred. These are loaded directly onto the substrate table or its planetary drives (if
their size is big enough).
For larger substrates the full circle is divided into four or more segments, which than
look like the image below.
Nova Quart module with drills d=11mm
Full circle modules are simply stacked on a rod in the centre of the substrate table or
the planet. Quart modules require a special base jig to be loaded on the substrate
table. Some base jigs are shown at the end of this chapter.
Nova Quart base jigs
With the right peripheral equipment nova fixtures may also be used for cleaning and
shipping of the substrates. We may consult you on the way to realize this matter.
The next pages show some exemplary Nova modules.
These dimensions are common for all standard Nova modules: Module height is
100mm, upwards tilt of the substrate axis is 15°. From the data on the next pages
you can get the other main data of these modules as the quantities of substrates per
module or the distance from tip to tip (s1 – s2)

The Nova Bar system can be helpful for the sampling process for new products and
for special tools in small quantities. Like the other Nova modules it consists of a base
jig which can be filled with little cartridges. The new thing is that the Nova Bar base
jig can be mounted on a substrate table instead of a planetary drive. This allows you
to run samples or special tools in the orientation of Nova fixtures together with your
standard loads. As the image below shows, you may also use this fixture system to
load only a few oversized tools together with your standard products in one batch.
Nova Bar base jig with different modules and tools
Nova Bar offers a very high flexibility for the coating of different diameters and length.
At the same time it can be used to increase the utilization of your PVD furnace even
with smallest order lines. Furthermore the Nova Bar system is pretty simple, very
robust and available at low investment cost.
The Nova Bar system can be combined in one batch together with other fixtures
systems, because it occupies the space of one or more satellites. Other than all the
other fixture systems the Nova Bar system can increase the utilization of the coating
zone if mixed products have to be coated.
The cartridges for substrates are clipped into the Nova Bar base jigs. One base jig
can take one to three cartridges in each level. The design of the cartridges is very
simple and they are cheap and can be delivered quickly.

Nova full circle module P260 with drills 6,0mm Dimensions filled with 6,0mm drills
These nova fixtures have a high number of holes on the circumference, drilled at an angle of 15°.
These holes can be filled with drills, mills, punches or bolts. Inside of the module there is a fence in
that position that twisted drills acc. to DIN 338 will be coated approx. 1mm more than the flute length
is. Filled with these drills a diameter at the tips of dp = 260mm is reached.
The quantity of substrates per module and the distance from tool tip to tool tip (s 1 – s 2) can be found
in the chart below. Higher quantity of substrates per module is generally possible, if lower values for
s 1 – s 2 are acceptable. The axles of the substrates are shifted from level to level, so each substrate
has maximum free line of sight to the evaporators.
Modules for different substrate sizes but with identical d p may be stacked directly upon each other, so
after each 100mm a new level will follow. It is recommended to start at the bottom with the modules
for the shorter substrates.
