Placement
Placement in surface technology is a step in the production processes in which components or substrates are provided with the required materials or coatings. This process is of crucial importance for the manufacture of assemblies and products with specific surface properties.
During the placement process, the components or substrates to be processed are usually placed on special fixtures. These fixtures enable precise alignment and fixing to ensure accurate processing. The necessary materials, whether in the form of coatings, paints or other substances, are then applied to the surface.
The coating can be applied using various methods, such as spraying on coatings, applying lacquers or dipping in special solutions. Depending on the specific requirements of the product and the desired surface properties, placement can involve different steps and processes.
The precise execution of the placement process is crucial to ensure the quality of the resulting surface. Factors such as the uniformity of the coating, adhesion properties and compliance with specific standards play an important role here. The placement process plays a key role in achieving the desired functional, aesthetic or protective properties of the surface.
