Our goal is the perfect surface.
Quality control starts before plating begins here at IWG. All parts sent to us are received by our racking team at the plating line unit. Our highly trained staff check the parts for potential visible defects under perfect light conditions — by the way, the amount of daylight and resulting perfect light conditions were an intrinsic part of the planning phase for our racking unit. Once the parts have passed the visual check, the base material of the parts is analyzed in our laboratory using X-ray fluorescence to determine the best process for your products and their special needs.
Ready for the bath!
The parts are mounted on the racks by our staff by hand and then sent off to the plating line.
Plating Shop 4.0 – Plating Control
The entire process is controlled automatically. Each individual step is stored in the system, and the entire plating sequence is carried out automatically after the process has started.
Integration into our ERP system and the incorporation of all analysis parameters provided by the laboratory help us produce a digital twin that allows full traceability and 100% quality assurance.
Effective Rinsing and Drying. For Flawless Results.
Perfect, stainfree surfaces can only be achieved by using clean water. This means the parts undergo two rinses at the end of each production process, during which we filter the water continuously using resin, thus reaching a conductivity of less than 1 µS (microsiemens). Surfaces are dried up to 50 % faster than in conventional processing thanks to our condensation dryer! This is both surface and environmentally friendly!
Final Inspections – Only Perfect Is Good Enough.
Once processing has finished, the dry, plated parts are taken off the racks. Samples are taken from each batch and given a thorough quality check. First, our staff check the plated surfaces for visual flaws under a microscope, and then they test the coating adhesion via bending, squeezing or cross cutting. The layer thickness is measured with our X-ray fluorescence equipment. The samples are then stored at our site as reference samples.
Safe Journey!
Your finished, tested parts are packaged carefully on-site and delivered back to you.
