Accuracy within one-thousandth of a millimeter
The optimum finishing of components is increasingly important. ”For high-quality products, this method offers a final finish for a competitive edge,” says Clemens Dudler, CEO of techno-finish. The company specializes in finishing medium-sized and small components, like piston and push rods or gears. The perfect finish of a component might consist of a certain roughness and corrugation to ensure reduced wear. This is especially interesting for suppliers and manufacturers in the automotive industry or hydraulic, pneumatic and vacuum technology sectors. They profit from years of experience and research by the Swiss company,who also offers contract work. In its own technology center, the Swiss company develops and produces compact belt and stone finishing machines that are customized for specific tasks. Additionally, techno-finish provides comprehensive consultation services on suitable abrasives. Customers from the EU, USA and Canada often need precise results within one-thousandth of a millimeter and belt finishing is to 90 percent the preferred technique to achieve these goals. The used polyester films feature different types of corundum, such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or diamond, with specific performance. There are also differences between comparable products from different film manufacturers. “We offer one-stopsolutions and guarantee our customers absolute process reliability. We produce each component according to the customer’s needs, be it rough or fine finishes,” Dudler emphasizes.
