,Zinc Alloy Castings CNC Polishing Machine
Built for zinc alloy (ZAMAK) die castings — the softest, most plating-sensitive cast metal in daily production. Deburr, grind and polish in one automatic cycle, with force control that never over-polishes, never burns, and delivers a surface your plating line will love.
- Force-controlled polishing — protects soft ZAMAK from over-polish & burning
- Plating-ready Ra 0.1 µm — consistent pre-plate surface, fewer rejects
- 10-30 s cycle on small parts (handles, knobs, sliders, housings)
- Auto load/unload — 1 operator runs up to 3 machines
The auto CNC polishing machine turns zinc alloy castings from "the hardest part of the plating prep line" into a one-pass, repeatable process.
Real-time pressure compensation: ZAMAK castings often exhibit significant dimensional variations; force control adjusts contact pressure every millisecond, preventing over-polishing of localized excess material on the relatively soft alloy.
Controlled temperature: Spindle speed is synchronized with the feed rate, allowing frictional heat to be managed effectively—eliminating surface blackening and blistering.
Programmed consistency: Surface inconsistencies prior to plating are the primary cause of color variation; programmed polishing ensures every workpiece meets the "standard part" specification, significantly boosting the electroplating yield rate.
Automated loading/unloading: Small parts can be fed via vibratory bowls or feed tracks, with automatic unloading and counting; one operator can manage 2-3 machines.
Quick-change fixtures & program library: Supports mixed-line production of dozens of small zinc alloy parts, with changeover times of less than 10 minutes.
Micro-part clamping solutions: Specialized flexible fixtures are available for tiny components like zipper pulls and lock cores, ensuring no damage to the surface finish.
