Advantages:

Increases target utilization to up to above 90%

Long life time (Sn: 60.000 to 70.000 kWh)

Allows to improve production line speed up to 10% and more by reduced debris generation and reduced arcing

Reduces tool cleaning and maintenance times

Targets can be regenerated by recasting with collars remaining in place (lower costs) S
