Dimensional coating

Dimensional coating is a specialized technique in surface technology that aims to coat workpieces with a precise and uniform layer. This method is often used in various industries to meet specific requirements in terms of thickness, adhesion and coating quality.

In dimensional coating, the workpiece is usually introduced into a coating facility that provides a controlled environment for the coating process. This can be a dip tank, a spray booth or another special coating area, for example. The coating process can be based on different physical principles, such as electrostatic spray coating or the use of dipping processes.

A crucial aspect of dimensional coating is the exact control of the applied coating thickness. This not only ensures compliance with the specified tolerances, but also enables precise adaptation to the specific requirements of the workpiece. By selecting the right coating materials and parameters, adhesion can be improved and the desired surface quality achieved.

Customized coatings are used in various industries, including automotive, electronics, mechanical engineering and more. They not only provide protection against corrosion and wear, but also serve aesthetic purposes when a certain color or surface texture is desired. Overall, dimensional coating helps to improve the performance and service life of workpieces by ensuring a precise, uniform coating that meets requirements.
