THE TECHNOLOGY
An important ‘Finish’ of Alloy Wheels in the ‘Premium’ segment are a ‘Natural Polished Aluminium’ / ‘Natural Buff Look’ of Aluminium, and ‘Chrome’ Finish. Chrome Plating Process requires the Semi-finished Wheels to be perfectly polished, grinding, and buffed before they are plated. For both the above cases, the Semi-finished Wheel Castings needs to be perfectly polished on all surfaces i.e. the front facing surface as well as the contours of the design to get the best final finish / look. Given the 3D contour / surfaces of the spokes of the Wheels, and the uneven contour of the casting surface, it is very difficult to get a automated solution. Consequently, polishing of Cast Alloy Wheels has historically been done manually and is very time consuming, laborious and skilled task. It is also very expensive. PML has developed a custom solution to address this challenge, which is a combination of Robotic Grinding and Buffing, combined with Automatic Media Polishing, which allows 3D polishing of Alloy Wheel Castings. The process has been automated to make it consistent / efficient and proven.
