Robotic painting
Six-axis robotic spraying supports repeatable coverage and controlled multi-coat applications on compatible plastic substrates.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Plastic Coating and Surface Finishing
Automated and manual finishing processes for the appearance, feel, wear resistance and environmental requirements of molded plastic components.
Process overview
Plastic Coating and Surface Finishing at Createch
Createch's established finishing department is focused on plastic parts and finished plastic products. Capabilities include robotic spray painting, an automated spindle line, manual sample and specialty finishing, UV coating, vacuum metallization and selected specialty textures. Metal plating and metal-specific finishes are handled separately through the metal manufacturing route.
Capabilities
Process scope and production support
Automated line
A 380 m spindle painting line supports production finishing in a controlled environment.
Specialty finishes
Experience includes rubber paint, PU, soft-feel effects, crack paint, stone pattern and other program-specific finishes.
Supporting processes
Cleaning, loading, curing, inspection and controlled unloading form part of the production route.
Applications and RFQ planning
Parts and programs suited to plastic coating and surface finishing
- Automotive interior and cosmetic trim
- Consumer-electronics housings
- Razor handles and grooming products
- Control panels and handheld devices
- Soft-feel and specialty-finish plastic parts
Plastic-finishing review should identify the resin, molded texture, color standard, gloss target, coating stack, masking areas, appearance criteria and required adhesion or wear tests. Metal finishes follow the separate metal manufacturing route.
