Individually adaptable system

With the MCS8, you can set-up your process exactly as needed, from spin coating and developing to baking and cleaning. The smart modular design saves valuable space, keeps operation simple, and delivers reliable results for a broad spectrum of applications.

Over 500 Possibilities

RCD8, AS8, HP8, LabSpin8, VP8, CP8 – the MCS8 integrates different coating, developing, baking and cleaning modules, configure the system according to individual process needs and applications.

Robust High-Volume Production

Built on proven HVM-technology, the MCS8 brings the same reliable performance, precision, and process stability trusted in high-volume manufacturing to laboratories, start-ups, and pilot lines – perfectly scaled to your environment.

Compact Footprint

Thanks to its modular design, the MCS8 offers the greatest variety of functionalities on the smallest cleanroom footprint in its class. With only one supply and one waste management system, you can scale your system flexibly while saving valuable lab space.

Scalable to a Full LabCluster

Start small and expand when needed: the MCS8 LabCluster can be individually configured by combining up to six frames with two modules each. Optional coating, developing or primimg tools can be added to set up a complete process solution.

Key features of MCS8 Manual Coating System

Scalability built for innovation

From early research to small-scale, the MCS8 grows with your projects. Expandable from a single-module system to six frames with twelve modules, the MCS8 scales into a complete LabCluster for an unmatched range of advanced applications.

Build Your Perfect Module

Start your MCS8 configuration with two customizable modules per frame, selected from SUSS’s wide range of manual and semi-automated coaters and aqueous developers, including LabSpin8, Hot Plate HP8 , Vapor Primer VP8, or the actively chilled Cool Plate CP8.

Upgrade with New Features

Expand your possibilities: add optional features such as automatic dispensing systems for LabSpins or proximity pins for Hot Plates. These enhancements streamline workflows, improve consistency, and introduce more system capabilities.

Set-up the Complete Process Solution

Create a fully integrated process solution: combine up to six frames, for a total of twelve modules in a single MCS8 LabCluster. Add advanced coating and developing tools like SUSS' RCD8 or AS8 to unlock the full spectrum of applications – from MEMS and III-V to electron beam lithography, nanoimprinting, microfluidics, and micro-optics.
