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.  Parts for priming include any masking needed with attention to electrical bonding requirements and final top coat and part-marking are applied per print.  We have a clean silkscreen room environment and a large, enclosed paint room to ensure debris does not contaminate the final product.

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.
