Comprehensive Finishing Services for Precision Engineering
Every aspect of engineering and fabrication affects how a part or product will ultimately end up. We handle each stage of these processes at DureX with our full-service production facilities. This lets us meticulously craft and protect your parts from the drafting stage to the finish.
Finishing is just as important as machining as it determines how your product will look. After all, a perfectly milled part can’t live up to its potential without a great finish, logo, and label. Each hour, we can finish thousands of parts at our facilities.
We cater to the medical, automotive, and aerospace industries, among others. No matter the industry, we guarantee an appealing, durable, and compliant finish.
Finishing as Strong as We Started
At DureX, we treat our finishing process with as much attention to detail as our machining processes. Finishing is essential to ensuring your custom parts are equally presentable and durable. We don’t use a “one size fits all” approach to our comprehensive finishing services.
Instead, we use several processes to accommodate our customers’ needs. Using the ideal finishing process for any part is important as some customers require specific masking methods. Our facilities are equipped to machine, mill, and finish parts simultaneously.
This lets us finish up to thousands of parts per hour to your perfect specifications. We use several finishing processes to ensure each part has a durable finish that will stand the test of time.
Advanced Silk Screening
Silk screening is a tried and true finishing process that we’ve used for decades. Our advanced screening machines allow us to print text and logos of all sizes. We approach silk screening with a mix of advanced computer technology and reliable machines.
Once you provide the text or logo you need to be printed, we use the files to create a negative. Whether it be a JPEG or CAD file, we make sure the image is clean, precise, and easy to read. We also verify the size and style to ensure it is legible and recognizable.
From there, we use coated screens and light technology to print the image or text. Our team can screen print multi-colored designs as needed. This cost-effective finishing process is popular for large production runs.
Powder Coating
At DureX, we take powder coating to the next level with our advanced process that stands out in the industry. Our 5-stage washer and degreaser system ensures your parts are clean and ready to be powder-coated. We also prioritize carbon footprint reduction by removing oil and grease that can harm the environment.
Iron phosphate is a big part of the process as it ensures the paint will stick and maximizes impact resistance. This is equally important for aesthetics and durability, both of which are essential to our finishing services. Our large facility and equipment lineup lets us powder-coat thousands of parts hourly.
This means that your short production run will be done in no time. Similarly, we can finish large production runs that require thousands of parts in 1-3 hours depending on the volume. That said, we never sacrifice quality and detail in favor of a large output. Our quality assurance team, skilled crew, and unparalleled equipment ensure this.
Custom Labeling
Labeling is an important part of precision engineering as many industries require labels. At DureX, we’ve labeled countless metal parts to ensure our customers are compliant with industry requirements. We also create branding labels to convey important information about your brand.
Our team communicates with our clients to ensure we have necessary the branding and industry information. Clean application is our priority as recognition and legibility are essential with labels. We achieve this with a skilled finishing team and advanced machines.
Sometimes, we create industry-specific labels that our clients need to remain compliant. All you must do is provide the necessary information that is required within your industry. From there, we can create a visually appealing, concise label that articulates the necessary information.
Unique Custom Finishes
Depending on your product, you may have specific finishing requests that differ from industry standards. Not only can this make your parts and products look unique, but it can also help them make a bigger impact. We appreciate this mindset at DureX, and we are always happy to accommodate your custom masking requests.
Keep in mind that this option requires strong communication. Our goal is to deliver flawless products starting from the initial concept to the finish. Once you articulate your vision for a unique, custom finish, our team will begin planning.
This often involves tweaking tried and true techniques we use to accommodate your vision. Luckily, our decades of experience include many custom finishes that we don’t necessarily use daily. Don’t hesitate to request a custom finish as we are more than happy to tweak our process to bring it to life.
Innovative Racking
A strong racking system is essential to our process as we finish thousands of parts per hour. That is how our patented Adjust-A-Rack system was born out of necessity. This innovative racking system streamlines our process, aiding in speed, organization, and security.
The Adjust-A-Rack system carefully holds and positions each part, no matter its shape or size. Doing so lets us adjust as needed to accommodate and protect your parts. This not only maximizes the output but also improves the quality of the finish.
Other racking systems require frequent adjustments and aren’t always compatible with every shape. Our patented racking system is as important to our process as the high-end CNC machines we use.
Advanced Finishing Techniques Ensure a Great Product
The finishing services we offer may seem overly advanced, but they’re essential to our process. Dedicated to delivering outstanding parts and products, the finishing process lets us apply the perfect final touch. Whether it be silk screening, powder coating, or custom labeling, we prioritize detail and precision.
Happy to accommodate custom labeling requests, your satisfaction is our priority. We ensure your parts and labels are compliant within your industry and easily recognizable. Call DureX at (908) 688-0800 to learn more about our comprehensive finishing services.
