The most precise, powerful and versatile surface finishing equipment on the market
The DLyte PRO500 delivers exceptional metal surface-finishing results with superior speed and efficiency.
Compared to existing technologies, it can achieve processing times up to ten times faster.
PRO500 equips 2, 4 and 8 perimeter spindles, which enable it to handle either a single or multiple work pieces per holder, thereby enhancing its capacity and performance, even when working with large volumes of work pieces.
Hardware features
Achieving peak performance requires a precise blend of movements and vibrations. Our technology combines a main axial turn, a secondary planetary turn, and a vertical movement with core and base vibration to reduce friction with electrolyte particles. To ensure optimal media flow, our equipment features independent variable speed and bidirectional holders' rotation. A perfect combination of movements and vibrations maximizes performance and results.
Our innovative power electronics system, featuring the latest SIC Pulser technology, delivers unbeatable repeatability and high output. With 8 independent high frequency rectifiers synchronized by optical fiber, we can provide up to 360 Amps and 35KW of power. This advanced system ensures better surface finishes, more homogeneous results, and shorter cycle times. Our electronics are designed for reliability, providing consistent and precise power delivery.
Our system is designed to activate the perimeter and inferior cathodes independently, according to specific polishing requirements. By adapting the electrical current flow based on the geometry of the piece, we achieve greater precision and a more homogeneous finish. This function gives our system unparalleled versatility compared to other solutions on the market. It also optimizes current flow to achieve the highest precision for a superior finishing.
Operative features
The holder fixation system uses positive pressure fixation and an automatic locking system with pneumatic connection, reducing loading and unloading times while increasing ease of use. The machine's integrated vibration system provides stronger vibration to the piece, while also substantially decreasing the weight of the holders.
Our system combines easy operation, advanced automation, and intelligent software to deliver superior finishing results. With real-time parameter optimization based on conductivity and temperature control, it maintains electrolyte quality and extends its lifespan, ensuring consistent and repeatable performance between cycles.
The frame and panels have been designed to facilitate easy maintenance and operation by providing access to the internal components. The eight power units are located on the sides of the machine and feature forced cooling, while the control unit is located at the rear and separated from the power units.
A warning light tower alerts operators to potential hazards during the production process. In addition, a magnetic safety gate system prevents unintentional opening of the safeguard. Finally, a light barrier provides protection for operators' hands and bodies during each cycle, especially when manual intervention is required.
DLyte PRO500 delivers a full spectrum of electrical parameters, ranging from low to high frequency, parameter concatenation, and asymmetric voltage.
Our specialized work piece holders and fixtures are designed to optimize results for each piece's unique geometry and finishing requirements. The versatile holding systems ensure maximum capacity utilization across various applications, making it the ideal solution for companies of each sector.
DLyte PRO500 connects seamlessly to the DLyte HUB to access all services required for high-quality finishing. This allows users to monitor the process, receive real-time system status updates, track maintenance schedules, and download and update surface finishing programs.
Automated Cell features
DLyte Automated Cell is the perfect solution for industries seeking to fully automate their surface finishing processes. It optimizes our surface finishing process with fully automated workpiece handling, allowing the system to work autonomously for extended periods, reducing loading and unloading times.
The Automated Cell offers flexibility in surface finishing, with the option to use either one or two DLyte PRO500 machines, depending on your requirements. Additionally, it enables the integration of multiple process steps, including cleaning, rinsing, and drying, for a more streamlined workflow.
The system allows for 2-Step processes, combining different electropolishing and cleaning steps. It offers a high increase in production with 64 holders, easily automated with a smart control panel. The system is also designed for efficiency with a double gripper and separate robot workflows.
It allows controlling all the functions of both the cell and the PRO500 outside the processing area. The cell includes a complete loading manager, where the operator can set the automation cycle based on the batch, row, and finishing recipe. The operator can also access the PRO500 interface to operate directly on the machine.
It features a steel structure designed in a square shape to hold up to 64 holders. It can pivot above its bedplate and stop after each ¼ round to allow the robot to work on the holder rows. Once the robot is working on one side, the operator can simultaneously load and unload on the opposite side, ensuring an efficient workflow.
Involves a robot with a double gripper at the end to hold two holders at once. By doubling the holders, the robot can load the unpolished holder into the machine and extract the polished one, placing it on the carousel, all in one sequence. This process helps to speed up the overall polishing process, thus increasing efficiency.
The front open fence is protected with a safety light curtain. At the rear side, there is a hinge door, which is permanently locked and can only be accessed during maintenance. Additionally, the pole located in the front area has a floor and laser scanner that automatically stops the polishing process if the operator accesses the area.
