 |
Painting |
Metals & Plastics |
Provides custom color and additional cosmetic or environmental protection |
Covers, housings, panels, exterior equipment components |
 |
E-Coating |
Steel & Selected Metals |
Provides relatively uniform corrosion-resistant coating, including recessed and complex areas |
Brackets, frames, structural components, corrosion-sensitive parts |
 |
Chromate Conversion Coating |
Aluminum & Selected Alloys |
Thin conversion layer for corrosion protection with limited dimensional impact |
Housings, brackets, panels, electrical and mechanical components |
|
Electroplating |
Metals |
Provides coating-dependent corrosion, wear, conductivity, or surface properties |
Hardware, shafts, functional metal parts, service components |
|
PVD Coating |
Metals |
Thin, hard coating for improved wear and corrosion resistance |
Wear surfaces, precision components, specialty tooling |
|
Polishing |
Metals & Plastics |

|
Laser Marking |
Metals & Plastics |
Permanent serial numbers, part IDs, and traceability markings |
Production identification, assembly tracking, replacement parts |
|
Insert Installation |
Metals & Plastics |
Adds threaded inserts, fasteners, and assembly hardware |
Housings, panels, brackets, covers |
|
Heat Treatment |
Metals |
Adjusts hardness, strength, wear resistance, or dimensional stability |
