High gloss polishing
High gloss polishing is carried out on moulds made of:
- steel
- aluminium
- stainless steel
- AMPCO materials
- automotive (headlights - demanding for precision and shape geometry)
- cosmetic industry (demanding precision and sharp edges)
- medical industry (especially polishing of optics - demanding on the dimensions in the surface of the polished material)
- glass industry
Our specialties
Polishing of milled and eroded surfaces at reflectors | |
Polishing to a tolerance of one thousandth of a millimetre - depending on roughness and dimension | |
Removal of cut-out block maps | |
Shaping narrow and deep U-shaped parts (mirror within a mirror) | |
Final polishing with a soft carrier to smooth edges, ripple the surface and remove or minimize "orange peel texture" | |
Polishing before and after coating | |
Polishing of multiple material types | |
Polishing components into assemblies | |
Polishing grooves for easy deburring | |
Sharpening contours and removing traces of program connections | |
Polishing of finishing electrodes | |
Preparing the surface for coating. |
Risks of non-specialised polishing:
Over-polishing - over-polishing, change in geometry of shape | |
Failure to maintain gloss/design interfaces | |
Failure to maintain geometry and symmetry, change in shape | |
Edge shrinkage and irreversible damage to the entire mould | |
Limited possibility of compensation | |
Sealing edge fouling | |
Edge lifting and shape change in machine polishing |
Technical polishing of mould cavities for de-moulding, painted parts and as preparation for chemical design
Do you need to technically polish challenging surfaces of various shapes and moulds? We offer you solutions of different qualities according to your requirements.
Application examples:- surface preparation for further operations (under chemical coating, surface for painting parts...)
- preparation for PVD coating
- finishing surface refinement for removing parts from injection moulds during moulding
- preparation of copper and graphite electrodes for fine finishing eroding
- steel
- aluminium
- stainless steel
- copper
- cast iron
The dimensional and shape accuracy of polished parts is maintained as standard.
In our premises we have the possibility of handling moulds up to 25 tons, larger and heavier parts are polished directly at the customer's premises.
