Finishing/Silkscreen
Following fabrication and assembly, parts head to the Finishing Department for alodine, prime, paint, heat treat, part marking and silkscreen as needed.
A steady flow of work at VISION MT has motivated growth and expansion in the scope and magnitude of our services and equipment. We are constantly driven to establish organic capability so that we retain as much control as possible over quality and lead time for all our awarded tasking. Silkscreen, heat-treat and CMM are some of the newer capabilities added in recent years. Bringing these functions in-house has allowed us to be even more responsive to evolving design requirements and artwork changes.
Technicians remove imperfections in the metal followed by chemical conversion and then dip in Alodine for a corrosive resistance coating as specified by drawings. Silkscreen, heat-treat, anodization, and passivation are some of the newer capabilities that allow us to be even more responsive to evolving design requirements and artwork changes.
Our in-house Heat Treat technology allows VISION MT to offer quicker turnaround times to our customers with parts requiring Heat-Treating, Annealing, and Aging. The chamber reaches temperatures up to 1200 degrees and has the capacity to work on parts up to 24”W x 16”H x 48L.
Our anodizing process enhances surface durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance for aluminum components, while passivation ensures stainless steel parts achieve optimal protection and longevity. By performing these finishing processes internally, we reduce lead times and deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Silkscreen printing adds the final touch by transferring clean, precise graphics through a fine mesh stencil, ensuring sharp, durable markings. This controlled process allows us to apply each color with accuracy and consistency, completing a fully finished component ready for delivery.
