Tree planting certificate

Due to the fact, that Greystone Poland passed another certification audit conducted by TUV Nord Polska, a new tree was planted. It is a response to the challenges of the current world to take care of the nature around us. The action was organized by TUV Nord Poland. For every audit carried out, TUV Nord Poland committed to planting a new tree.

On this occasion, it should be noted that once again Greystone Poland has proven that the selective electroplating services offered are accompanied by high-quality standards. This was achieved thanks to the use of our unique Precision Plating System. PPS meets high standards set, among others: by the automotive industry. The plating system used by Greystone Poland is highly optimized thanks to a closed circuit, automation and meeting strict quality standards (PPM: 0 – 1) with high productivity (Cpk > 1.67).

    Selectively electroplating: only the inside diameter of the blind hole

    Greystone is the global technology leader in selective plating and complex electroplating processes. For nearly 100 years, Greystone has been designing new solutions in the field of modern projects related to high-volume plating and anodizing.

    We would like to show our modern technology that could be adjusted strictly to the needs – which is the Precision Plating System. As an example, PPS technology is used for selective plating of the inside diameter of the blind hole, as demonstrated in the picture from this post. PPS system guarantees that the highest plating quality will be achieved: Cpk > 1.67 and PPM: 0-1. In addition, innovative Engineering with automatization fits ideally to manipulate discrete parts that are sensitive to damage.

      PPS® – hard chrome (hard anodize) electroplating

      Basic advantages of hard chrome (hard anodize) electroplating using Greystone’s Precision Plating System®.

      PPS® is state-to-art technology that is fully automated and uses a robotized system for manipulating the parts. Thanks that it is ideal to plate the discrete (small) parts like braking pistons and valve components for fuel systems (like armatures, poles type parts) and others.

      All hard chrome (hard anodize) electroplating operations are integrated into one process. Thanks to that surfaces are perfectly prepared and we achieve great adhesion. As a result, high quality is obtained: Cpk>1.67 and PPM: 0 – 1.

      Precision Plating System® is modern and allows for selective plating of parts. Only chosen areas of the parts can be covered by a hard chrome (hard anodize) layer, like: face, ID, OD, edge. During that electroplating proces tight tolerances are achieved of each of the surfaces: std. dev. as low as ≤ 0.2µm

        What is selective electroplating?

        Electroplating is a very popular and widely used process, as it increases the lifetime, reliability and functionality of parts made of metal (e.g. stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). This is due to the fact that the electrochemical process produces permanent, metallic coatings with a thickness measured in microns. These can be layers of chromium, zinc, nickel, as well as other coatings, depending on their properties that are required in the final products.

        Until recently, in the electroplating process, an employee was responsible both for manual masking of areas that should not be covered in the electrochemical process, as well as for the transport of parts between different stages of production. Greystone has developed the Precision Plating System® (PPS®) which is fully automated and allows for selective electroplating of parts. The operator (employee) is only to supervise the process – the rest is pre-programmed.

        Thanks to this, it became possible to selectively plate parts – at select areas (on the part) on which a specific thickness of a given coating is to be applied, e.g. hard chrome. All this is illustrated in the graphics below.
