Tribofinishing

Our machines enhance the surface quality of mechanical parts, improving both cosmetic and functional aspects. They complement the screw machining process on our ESCOMATIC machines.

Tribofinishing operates on a wide range of metal parts using machines that generate rotary and vibratory motion.

Our machines are designed to meet specific needs, such as deburring, polishing, smoothing, rounding, superfinishing, and cleaning parts.

We are capable of treating any part by adding abrasive media and chemical additives to circular vibrators, ensuring flawless surface treatments.

For polishing certain surfaces of watchmaking parts, which are often very small and complex, manual polishing can be too challenging and inconsistent. To achieve a perfectly smooth and polished surface, machine tribofinishing is, in most cases, the best technical solution, making it a justified choice for this application.

Fields of Application

At MINESCO, this polishing process is utilized across a variety of industrial sectors, including connectors, healthcare and fluid systems, jewelry, and many others.

In the automotive industry, for example, we use tribofinishing to remove burrs from metal parts before their final assembly. It can also optimize surface finishes on certain components before painting.

Here are some concrete examples of applications for our surface treatment machines:

Deburring automotive parts before painting.
Polishing jewelry or delicate watchmaking components.
Removing burrs from electronic components before final assembly.
Polishing dental implants before use.

Advantages of This Method

Tribofinishing offers numerous economic benefits compared to other surface treatment methods, such as sandblasting or shot blasting.

Firstly, it ensures a more uniform and gentler treatment of parts without damaging their surface or altering their technical dimensions. Additionally, it saves time and costs by eliminating the need for multiple machines to perform all steps of the finishing process.

Our extensive range of polishing machines and circular vibrators allows us to meet the needs of even our most demanding clients.
