Superconductor Technologies Inc. Completes Acceptance of Reactive Coevaporation Cyclic Deposition and Reaction (RCE-CDR) Equipment for Its Conductus(R) 2G HTS Wire Production
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Superconductor Technologies Inc. (SCON) ("STI"), a world leader in the development and production of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and associated technologies, completed the acceptance process for its next generation Reactive Coevaporation Cyclic Deposition and Reaction (RCE-CDR) system. STI's engineers completed testing at the supplier's location and the equipment has been received at the company's Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Austin for installation.
"This pilot production RCE-CDR system, capable of producing 100 meter lengths of HTS wire, will demonstrate to our customers the high yield, uniformity and repeatability of our proprietary process," said Adam Shelton, STI's VP of Marketing and Product Line Management. "At the same, we will also validate several critical machine design parameters that we plan to integrate into the kilometer length manufacturing system scheduled for 2013."
"This equipment delivery represents the second of the three system installations scheduled for 2012. Our Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD) machine was installed in April. Now operational, it provides wire template that will be used in the RCE-CDR machine. Our third piece of equipment, the Solution Deposition Planarization (SDP) machine, is currently completing system integration testing with delivery scheduled in the next several weeks. STI expects to have a complete 2G HTS production suite installed and operational in our new Austin facility by 2012 year end," Shelton added.
