Ultra Plating can develop a metal finish
to meet your specific performance goals.
Ultra Plating offers finishes ranging from "Ultra
Gloss:' our flawless mirror finish, to a wide variety of matte
finishes and mirror release finishes, each one a custom solution,
designed to match your specific product requirements

Why Ultra Finishing?
The sophisticated performance goals of products such
as films and coated papers, combined with today's emphasis on
quality control, require the use of precise process control
to achieve those goals. It is no longer adequate to characterize
high-performance roll, drum, or cylinder finishes by 'roughness'
or 'roughness and gloss' alone. |
At Ultra Plating, we define and optimize the performance
characteristics of metal finishes by specifying and monitoring
key surface parameters. Process control techniques and computer-aided
technology enable us to produce and reproduce finishes to
exact specifications, ensuring performance duplication and
end-product uniformity. |
|
| Quality control is an integral part of
the finishing process. |
|
Each roll is inspected by our technicians as it is received
to determine its initial condition with regard to geometry,
wear and/or damage.
The roll can then be: stripped or ground as needed; repaired;
hard chrome or electroless nickel plated; texturized (either
before or after plating, or both) or finish ground; and then
polished.
Rolls are precision ground to establish TIR roundness, straightness
and diametrical size. Roll body-to-journal concentricities are
typically held to .0005/.001/TIR. Tighter tolerances (to .0002
TIR) can be met upon request. |
