In the manufacturing of automobile parts, the surface coating of brake discs and brake drums is a seemingly simple but crucial process. Many companies only focus on the price when purchasing coating equipment. However, after going online, they discover that the coating is uneven, the adhesion is poor, the rework rate is as high as 30%, and the labor cost remains high.
If you choose the wrong coating line, you will lose not only hundreds of thousands of equipment money, but continuous waste of production capacity and customer complaints.
Core indicator one: degree of automation.
A good automated coating production line requires no manual intervention in the entire process from workpiece loading, pre-processing, coating, curing to off-line. Taking the production line built by Gematic for a head braking system supplier as an example, the labor force was reduced from 8 to 2, and the labor cost was reduced by 75%.
Core indicator two: Coating uniformity
Brake disc coating requires extremely high coating thickness tolerances. A high-quality automatic spraying system can control the coating thickness within ±5μm through servo control + robot trajectory programming, which is far better than the ±20μm of manual spraying.
Core indicator three: Environmentally friendly
VOC emissions are the life and death line for coating companies. The new generation of water-based and powder coating systems can control VOC emissions below 10 mg/m³, which is far better than the national standard of 50 mg/m³, completely avoiding the risk of environmental fines.
Core indicator four: Production capacity and cycle
beat = money. A good coating line has a stable rhythm, can process 200-400 brake discs per hour, and has a 24-hour continuous operation failure rate of less than 2%.
Core indicator five: After-sales service and spare parts response
If the painting line is down for one day, the loss may be tens of thousands. Choosing a supplier with 24-hour response and ready spare parts inventory is much more cost-effective than saving 100,000 yuan in equipment fees.
Since 2004, Gemet has focused on metal surface anti-corrosion coating equipment systems, providing automated coating production lines and complete process solutions to leading domestic and foreign auto parts manufacturers. Not everyone can copy 20 years of technology accumulation.
Choose the right equipment and get it right in one step. Choosing the wrong equipment will result in rework every year.
