04 / Surface finishing

Precision begins at the surface.

Machine polishing and deburring provide reproducible surface quality, clean functional surfaces and precise contours.

At a glance

Two processes. One defined surface.

Defined gloss level

Visible and functional surfaces are polished uniformly and reproducibly.

Machining that preserves the shape

Contours and functional geometry remain central to the controlled machining process.

Clean fine contours

Deburring removes unwanted burrs even from delicate and complex areas.

An optimal foundation

The defined surface prepares mould surfaces for production or subsequent treatment.

Especially relevant for

  • High-gloss and visible surfaces
  • Unwanted burrs
  • Fine radii and contours
  • Preparation for further treatments

Two machining tasks

Refine surfaces. Clean up contours.

Polishing

A defined gloss level.

For reproducible visible and functional surfaces, including as a foundation for further treatments.

Deburring

Clean, fine contours.

Remove unwanted burrs in a controlled way, with radii and complex geometries in mind.

Principle & application

The technology behind it.

01Machine polishingFinish visible and functional surfaces with a consistent gloss level.

Mould surfaces are machined reproducibly and precisely. This creates defined visible and functional surfaces with a consistent gloss level, high quality and an optimal foundation for further surface treatments.

  • Reproducible quality
  • Defined gloss level
  • Precise machining of complex geometries
  • An optimal foundation for coatings and subsequent treatments
02Machine deburringRemove unwanted burrs from fine edges and complex geometries.

Unwanted burrs are removed from fine contour areas in a controlled and reproducible way. This creates clean, precise contours in sensitive, delicate or complex geometries.

The process aims to improve function, reliability and surface quality in sensitive areas. The before-and-after comparison shows the effect on fine contours.

  • Clean fine edges
  • Gentle processing
  • Precise contours and radii
  • Reproducible results
03Technical assessment for your applicationAssess the application together

Defined quality without manual variation.

Polishing and deburring address different features of the mould surface. Both processes are adapted in a controlled way to the geometry, functional surface and required surface quality.

  • Polishing · defined gloss level

    Machine polishing finishes visible and functional surfaces reproducibly and precisely, with a consistent gloss level and high surface quality.

  • Deburring · clean contours

    Unwanted burrs are removed in a controlled and reproducible way, including in fine contour areas and on demanding geometries.

  • A reliable foundation for production

    Both processes create a defined surface as a reliable basis for series production or further surface treatments.

For an initial assessment, it helps to know the affected mould component, its geometry and the observed deviation. Technical options are assessed for the specific application.

Selection depends on the plastic, tool material, geometry, temperature, mechanical loading, cleaning conditions and desired function.
