BODYCOTE PHONE GUYSON

The Bodycote Group is recognised as an international front line source of metallurgical services to industry. When faced with a demanding finishing problem coupled with a tight delivery deadline for one of their Scandinavian companies, they approached Guyson International Limited for a solution.

The requirement was to produce a high quality and thoroughly clean, low profile keying surface suitable for clear anodising at volumes that would reach 3,000 units per day. The items involved were mobile telephone fascias, where a high quality and consistent appearance was vital. Due to the delicate and light nature of the strips, component presentation though each process stage had to be assured.
Guyson integrated in-line aqueous cleaning and bead blasting stations
Using Guyson expertise in both hot aqueous cleaning and bead blasting technology, an integrated in-line series of wash & blast stations achieved exactly the finish required.

Starting with a 3-stage wash, rinse and dry Marr-Line, the fascia strips were firstly cleaned thoroughly, removing all traces of pressing oil and general shop dirt. Then the strips were moved into a three chamber Multiblast® system, where firstly the back face and then the front face were blasted all over with a very fine bead. In the final chamber, an air wash gently removed residual dust particles.

The whole system used sophisticated component handling, incorporating pick & place transfer to move the strips through the complete process with a final return to front conveyor bringing them to the inspection and packing station.
