Lab-scale R2R slot-die coater
Small footprint, wide coating
FOM omicronR2R empowers researchers to accelerate and refine their coating processes. With an adaptable coating width ranging from 1 to 200 mm, it supports everything from early-stage experimental coatings to pilot-scale formats. This flexibility enables researchers to screen multiple coating combinations efficiently and fine-tune their recipes before scaling up.
Modular by nature, built for change
Designed for customizability, FOM omicronR2R is built on a modular platform that adapts to evolving research needs. Users can tailor the coating setup to specific material systems and process requirements, whether working with sensitive polymers, nanomaterials, or advanced energy devices. The system safeguards your investment by future-proofing your setup as research directions develop over time.
Flexible drying for diverse applications
Multiple drying options—including infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and hot air—are available in modular oven sections of 250 mm or 500 mm, up to 1 meter of drying in total. By supporting a wide range of drying strategies within a single platform, the system enhances process control across sensitive polymers, nanomaterials, and advanced energy devices.
Intuitive, precise, reproducible
The intuitive coating software ensures high-precision depositions and coating protocol saving, delivering consistent, reproducible quality coating results again and again. With a user-friendly interface tailored for both novice and experienced researchers, the software allows full control of process parameters and recipe storage.

Frequently asked questions
What coating width does the FOM omicronR2R support?
FOM omicronR2R coats widths from 1 mm to 200 mm on webs up to 320 mm wide, at speeds from 0.01 to 3.0 m/min. It accepts roll diameters up to 200 mm on a 75 mm pneumatic expanding mandrel, with web tension controlled from 10 to 80 N.
Which slot-die heads fit the FOM omicronR2R?
FOM omicronR2R is compatible with slot-die heads from FOM SD 25 up to FOM SD 200. Shims and meniscus guides are available for adjusting coating width and pattern.
What drying options are available on the FOM omicronR2R?
Drying is handled by modular oven sections of 250 mm or 500 mm, up to 1 meter of drying in total. Modules are available as hot air, infrared, ultraviolet, and combined hot air/IR. Hot air ovens reach up to 180 °C, and slot-die head heating runs up to 80 °C.
What does the FOM omicronR2R need to be installed?
The standard configuration measures 671 × 600 × 1095 mm (H × W × L) and weighs 150 kg. It requires a 3-phase 400 V supply at 50/60 Hz with a maximum current of 24 A, compressed air at 5–7 bar (clean, dry, non-lubricated, ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 1.2.3 or better) via a Ø6 mm push-fit connection, and an Ethernet connection over RJ45.
Can the FOM omicronR2R be expanded after installation?
Yes. The machine is built on a modular platform with 250 mm and 500 mm extension modules, adding 25 kg and 37 kg respectively. Drying configuration can change as research needs change, up to 1 meter of oven length in total.
Does the FOM omicronR2R meet European machine safety standards?
FOM omicronR2R is built to EN 60204-1 and ISO 13849-1 (CE) and complies with Directive 2006/42/EC Annex II B.
