Busbars are vital components in electrical systems, and ensuring they are properly coated while maintaining clean, paint-free contact zones is crucial for optimal performance. Masking busbars, however, presents a unique set of challenges due to the thickness of the coatings and the need for precision. In this post, we’ll take a deep dive into the various masking methods used for busbars, along with their pros and cons, and offer insight into which solutions can be most effective.
If you're getting started with powder coating, this post will take you through the essential masking supplies that we recommend starting off with first.
Masking is crucial in the coating process, especially for complex components like those found in steering and suspension systems. These parts often feature complex geometries, tight tolerances, and critical surfaces that must remain uncoated to ensure optimal performance.
Throughout this post, we will take you through various masking products and designs used to mask shock tubes, steering knuckles, tie-rods, and control arms that are manufactured for today's most famous automotive, heavy machinery, and power sports vehicles!
Powder coaters are accepting flaws they could easily eliminate. We’ve curated a list of common issues that are often overlook and provided simple fixes for each one.
If you're a powder coater wanting to make changes to improve your masking operations, this post is for you! Echo Engineering is here to guide you through actionable changes that can revolutionize your masking processes and elevate your results.
Welcome to the SECOND installment of our new masking experiment series! In this post, we will be taking you through what happens when you remove the tape right after powder gels and compare it to what happens when we remove tape after it cools down after the cure process.
