Automatic Surface Finishing Systems
Inovatec automatic surface finishing systems combine suitable finishing equipment with the handling and control functions your production needs. Automation can cover selected stages such as loading, processing, separation, washing, and drying. Define the complete workflow before choosing the machine and level of automation.
An automatic centrifugal disc system can process small components such as coin blanks, Zamak sliders, and washers. Match the feeding, separation, and process settings to the components and required accepted output.
A Rotomatic continuous-flow system can be considered for suitable die-cast components. Establish the residence time and feeding rate through part trials, and specify how parts are collected after processing.
A horizontal shaft polishing machine uses a dedicated workholding arrangement for applications such as crankshaft finishing. Confirm the fixture drawing, component access, and loading layout before agreeing the equipment configuration.
An automated vibratory finishing line can link loading, finishing, cleaning, and drying stages. Specify each transfer point, the required controls, and how process water and media are handled.
A linear trough continuous finishing system provides a through-flow arrangement for suitable castings and other components. Check part travel, contact between parts, separation, and downstream handling with production samples.
Control and Process Options
A Prominent metering pump can dose water and compound for a compatible wet finishing system. Specify the required flow, chemical compatibility, and whether the process uses flow-through water or a recirculating supply.
A Bosch Rexroth variable frequency drive provides adjustable motor frequency on compatible equipment. Use only the settings approved for the machine and load; speed changes affect media movement and must be checked during process trials.
An acoustic cover can reduce operating noise. The result depends on the machine, load, enclosure, and workshop conditions. Confirm the cover design, access arrangements, and any interlocks for the quoted equipment.
Media and Compound for Automated Finishing
An automatic finishing line still needs the correct media and compound. Select the cutting or polishing grade for the part, then verify media flow, wear, dosing, separation, and residue removal. Plan how operators replenish consumables and remove fines without disrupting the agreed production process.

The minimum order quantity is one machine. Tell us your parts and production requirements so we can specify the appropriate model and accessories.
Machines are packed in wooden cases. Confirm the case dimensions, handling points, and any destination-specific requirements for wood treatment when arranging shipment.
Our standard terms are a 30% advance payment and the remaining 70% before shipment. A sight letter of credit may be arranged for larger orders. Confirm the payment schedule and any acceptance milestones in the quotation.
The listed reference lead time for standard equipment is 20–25 days. The confirmed schedule depends on the model, quantity, electrical supply, and customization. Ask for an order-specific manufacturing and shipping schedule.
Shipment can be arranged through Shanghai or Ningbo. Yiwu logistics arrangements and other departure routes can be discussed with your forwarder. Confirm the departure port, destination, and delivery terms in the quotation.
Automatic Surface Finishing Systems: Process and Equipment Selection
Inovatec automatic surface finishing systems combine suitable finishing equipment with the handling and control functions your production needs. Automation can cover selected stages such as loading, processing, separation, washing, and drying. Define the complete workflow before choosing the machine and level of automation.
Define the Automation Scope
Start with the existing production route. Record the number of parts arriving per batch or per hour, their condition, and how they are presented to the machine. Specify which loading, transfer, separation, washing, and drying steps need automation, and where an operator will inspect, replenish, or collect parts.
Choose Batch or Continuous Processing
Batch processing holds a defined load for a selected finishing cycle. A continuous system feeds parts through the process at an agreed rate. Choose between them from part geometry, product mix, required residence time, changeover needs, and how downstream equipment receives the finished components.
Control the Finishing Recipe
Define the media grade, load, water and compound supply, approved motion settings, and finishing time. The control system should support the agreed process and transfer sequence. Confirm the functions actually included in the quoted controls rather than assuming every accessory is automated.
Include Separation, Cleaning, and Drying
A finished surface is only one acceptance requirement. Check that media has been removed from holes and pockets, that the rinse meets residue requirements, and that parts leave the drying stage in the required condition. Include process-water handling and downstream inspection in the line layout.
Agree Trials and System Acceptance
Use representative parts to establish finish, edge condition, dimensional limits, and accepted throughput. Record loading and unloading time alongside processing time. For a custom line, agree the layout, utilities, workholding, controls, and acceptance procedure before manufacture; the listed custom lead-time reference is 35–40 days, subject to the final configuration.
