DLyte finishing machine
The DLyte combines grinding and polishing in a one-step process to produce smooth and shiny finished parts. It is used for metal parts that require high performance or superior finishes, including steel and stainless steel, cobalt chrome, titanium, nickel and other common metal alloys.
According to the company, it is the first dry electropolishing system of its kind and can reduce polishing process time by around 75%. The polishing concept is designed to dramatically improve the corrosion and oxidation resistance, as well as lifespan and friction, of a part. The finishing machine is said to polish complex parts without programming, producing a high-quality finish without leaving grinding patterns and microscratches.
