Surface finishing

High-precision painting and laser technology for surface finishing of plastic parts

Surface finishing of plastic parts in top-grade precision by painting and bringing user-defined graphics and symbols into the surface by laser all areas of day/ night design for the vehicle interior.

Surface finishing for touch display applications by painting transparent plastic parts with mirror finish surfaces and inserting of laser or coloured printed contours respectively symbols in black-panel/ white-panel effect.

Industry painting

Painting stations

Industry paintings of e.g. compensators, light shades and buttons on two flatbed painting machines as well as cylinder wheels on spindle painting machine, provided with automated process steps part cleaning, painting with up 6 paint sprayers, evaporating and drying.

Painting

There are used multicomponent decor painting with two component dosing system in one or multi-layer setup. A temperature monitored painting store provides permanent usable material.

Painting support

Special adjusted painting supports guarantee a high packing density of parts to be paint during painting.

Laser marking

Laser engraving

After painting there is done surface marking with a laser engraving. According to customer specification this engraving is being done with an accuracy in hundredth. An extremely precise paint abrasion per laser beam makes visible the transparent bright plastic material that is being light through by LEDs which causes the typical day/ night design in various colours.

Checking

Series accompanying testing of laser symbols and lightproof of components with camera and 100% visual check. Measurement of assembly groups in high quantities with measuring projector according to drawing within seconds.

Machinery

2 flat painting machines

They are set especially for painting of parts up to a maximum side length of 800 mm.

Provided with automatic AGMD-paint sprayers with individual monitoring of material quantity, horn air and atomized air.

Processing of 1 component and 2 components solvent paint. Mixing ratio up to 1:50 are automatically portionable.

Additional equipment such as humidifier and cooling provide optimal air and flow conditions on both lines.

The outlet and production of the automation are specific and depend on the size of the particular component parts.

Spindle painting unit

This unit is being used especially for processing of rotation-symmetric and geometric difficult parts to be painted.

Provided with automatic AGMD-paint sprayers with individual monitoring of material quantity, horn air and atomized air.
Mixing ratio up to 1:50 are automatically portionable.
Additional equipment such as humidifier and cooling provide optimal air and flow conditions on this unit.

The outlet and production of the automation are specific and depend on the size of the particular component parts.

Laser

  • 8 lasers provide after painting lasering of quick-pulse or fibre laser of laser class 1.
  • The positioning of the parts is carried out with camera and image editing. Precise abrasion of the painting coat makes a gentle surface treatment.
  • According to customer requirement, for example laser of cylinder wheels or lasering within custom-developed packaging are possible application fields.
