Additional processes

Ultrasonic cleaning, barrel finishing, blasting, laser processing, pad printing and pad electroplating complement the surface technology. Read more

How does Polymeca ensure that every part of a series is functionally and visually consistent?

Reproducible surfaces are created thanks to controlled processes, qualified specialists and verified testing methods. Polymeca continuously monitors relevant process parameters and documents the results through defined quality procedures.

Depending on the method, we test layer thicknesses, corrosion resistance, adhesion, gloss level, colour, material properties and component dimensions. Our analytical laboratory and in-process testing ensure consistent surface quality across the entire production run.

How does Polymeca guarantee sustainable surface coatings?

Sustainable surface coating begins with stable processes. Controlled process baths, modern wastewater treatment, RoHS-compliant processes and REACH-compliant processes reduce risks and create the basis for safe, legally compliant coatings.

Polymeca operates according to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. We combine documented quality assurance with environmental protection and resource conservation in surface technology.

How does Polymeca ensure internationally competitive prices?

Economical surface technology is achieved through co-ordinated process chains and short interfaces. Polymeca combines mechanical processing, surface coating, additional processes and quality assurance under one roof.

This reduces transport distances, co-ordination efforts and process risks. Our specialists assess early on which process is technically feasible, suitable for series production and economically viable.

Other frequently asked questions about surface technology at Polymeca.

How does Polymeca help in selecting the right surface?
Our specialists examine the material, geometry, function, visual requirements and subsequent process steps. The goal is a surface that functions technically, remains suitable for series production and can be implemented economically.
Which testing and measurement methods are used for quality assurance?
Depending on the method, Polymeca uses coating thickness measurement, material analysis, cross-cut testing, gloss measurement, colour measurement, corrosion tests, cross-section/SEM analysis and sampling. We also monitor process baths in our analytical laboratory. This ensures reproducible coating quality in series production.
How does Polymeca ensure stable manufacturing processes and on-time delivery?
Through defined coating strategies, controlled process parameters and continuous quality controls, we ensure stable processes and on-time delivery.
How can I clarify the technical feasibility and suitability for series production with Polymeca?
Our specialists analyse your components with regard to material, geometry, tolerances, layer thickness, function and economic viability. This is based on a feasibility analysis derived from your specifications, supplemented by years of experience and in-depth expertise in surface technology.
When is Switzerland an important production location for surface technology?
When the highest demands are placed on precision, process stability and delivery reliability, Switzerland offers clear advantages. These include stable political conditions, highly trained specialists, reliable infrastructure, short transport routes within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and a strong understanding of quality in the industry.
How can I reduce the costs for my machined precision parts?
Costs can be sustainably reduced through smart coating design, optimised processes and early co-ordination. Partnering with you from the earliest stages of development, we leverage a consistent design-to-cost approach and expert specifications analysis to minimise effort and drive savings where they matter most
