Technical Data:

Our laboratory services are available to you at no cost. Mass Finishing and determination of Process Capability allows you to use the right media to ensure consistent production capability and built-in reproducibility of your manufacturing processes. We will work with you to determine the best media and the best processes for your parts. This step can result in:

• Reduced Cycle Times
• Improved RMS Finishes
• Reduced Finishing Costs
• Access to Latest Technology
• R & D for Special Process Media

Mass Finishing describes a mechanical process where large amounts of parts are economically processed to achieve one or several surface improvement functions. These surface improvement functions include:

• Cleaning
• Deburring
• Surface refinement
• Inhibiting
• Drying 
  
  

These functions are not independent of each other. It is common to have several or all of these functions take place in a single mass finishing process.

Process Capability is the measured, built-in reproducibility of the product turned out by the process. Such a determination is made using statistical data, not wishful thinking. Statistically determined limits are compared to specification limits to decide if a process can consistently produce acceptable product. Process capability is best established through closely monitored testing and recording of data over a set period of actually production.
