Racks

In surface technology, racks play a decisive role in the efficient and precise execution of surface treatment processes. A rack serves as a support structure on which the parts to be treated are arranged and fixed. These racks are specially designed to ensure uniform and accessible surface treatment of the components.

The design of racks in surface technology is geared towards meeting the requirements of the respective treatment process. Racks must be stable and durable in order to withstand the loads during the processes. At the same time, they must be designed to allow optimal exposure of the components to ensure uniform coating or other surface modifications.

The racks can have different shapes and sizes, depending on the geometry and dimensions of the parts to be treated. For example, racks are used for electroplating to ensure that the electrolyte solution is evenly distributed over the surface of the components and to ensure a consistent coating.

Another important aspect of the frame design is the choice of material. The racks must be resistant to the chemicals used in the processes and must not cause any undesirable reactions with the surfaces of the components. Stainless steel is often the material of choice for such racks due to its corrosion resistance and strength.

In addition, racks can be provided with special coatings to extend their service life and increase their resistance to aggressive environments. Overall, racks are indispensable tools in surface technology, helping to ensure precise and efficient surface treatment. Through the careful design and construction of racks, manufacturers can improve the quality of their surface products while increasing the efficiency of their manufacturing processes.
