Machining sequence for powder-coated panels
The front panels are powder-coated after the mechanical machining is done. This ensures that the bare machined surfaces are covered – the only other way to do this is via post-anodizing. Note that the coating layer here sticks to surfaces that are not protected against corrosion. The durability of the product is improved when the coating in the respective areas is not exposed to mechanical stresses that could damage it.
Producing threads, fits, and so on after powder coating
The thickness of the powder coating is approx. 70–120 µm. The coating can be applied somewhat thicker at edges and corners. For powder-coated base panels, you can also have each milling and engraving element produced after powder-coating in order to obtain fits and threads in specified dimensions. To do this, check the box next to Mill after surface finishing in the element’s properties dialog.
Powder coating on customer-supplied material
Subsequent powder-coating of customer-supplied material can only be done to a limited extent. If you need the material you provide to be powder-coated, please contact us.
We will check whether your request is feasible.
