Our Surface Treatment Solution is designed to enhance the durability, appearance, and functionality of metal and plastic components by applying a range of protective coatings and finishes. This solution automates processes such as polishing, grinding, deburring, sanding, … ensuring that products receive consistent and high-quality surface treatments. The system is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and industrial manufacturing, where surface quality and protection are critical.
With advanced automation, our surface treatment solution ensures precision, efficiency, and cost savings while delivering superior surface finishes that improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and overall aesthetics.
Machines Used
- Automated Polishing Systems: These machines smooth and polish surfaces to achieve the desired finish, whether it’s a high-gloss shine or a matte texture.
- Electroplating Systems: Used to apply thin layers of metal coatings (such as zinc, nickel, or chrome) to enhance the appearance and protect metal parts from corrosion.
- Anodizing Equipment: Automated systems for anodizing aluminum components, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant surface finish.
- Powder Coating Machines: These machines apply powder coatings evenly to metal surfaces, which are then cured under heat to form a durable and protective layer.
- Surface Cleaning and Preparation Systems: Before applying any surface treatment, our system cleans and prepares the surface to ensure that coatings adhere properly and last longer.
Applications in Industry
Our material surface treatment automation solution can be applied to various product surfaces such as metals, plastics, wood, etc. The applications use robots to replace human operators in performing different tasks such as grinding, sanding, polishing, and deburring. Therefore, it optimizes production efficiency for several industries:
- Automotive: Automated surface treatment solutions can be applied to automotive and motorcycle components, such as deburring steering wheels, polishing bodies, and covers.
- Electric/Electronics: Automation of the polishing process for casings and machine bodies. Polishing metal product details, etc.
- Woodworking: Automating the smoothing and sanding processes for wooden products to enhance aesthetics.
- Food Processing: The automation solution can be used to clean and treat the surfaces of food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene and food safety. Polishing and cleaning surfaces that come into contact with food will minimize the risk of contamination.
- Healthcare: In the healthcare industry, surface treatment automation is applied to medical devices such as surgical instruments and assistive equipment. Polishing and cleaning metal surfaces help ensure hygiene and safety standards for users.
With the ability to be flexibly applied across various industries, our surface treatment automation solution enhances production efficiency, reduces costs, and improves product quality.

- Consistency and Quality Control: Automated systems apply coatings uniformly and precisely, ensuring that each product receives the same high level of surface protection.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: By optimizing material usage and minimizing waste, our surface treatment solution is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional manual processes.
Application of robots for sanding and polishing products
Components
- Robot/Cobot: Programmed to operate according to a predefined program. They perform tasks that replace human operators.
- Tool/Vision: The tool is usually mounted on the end of each robot/cobot, directly contacting the product’s surface. Vision can consist of image sensors for monitoring and recognizing the surface of the product being worked on.
- Programming Software: This includes the PLC program, which is the operational program of the robot programmed to complete the task.
- Mounting Structure: This includes mechanical structures for holding the product in place.
