The last decade has brought a dramatic increase in the number of parts we electropolish for the laser and photonics industry. They include parts like the aluminum housings, mounts and accessories used in the manufacture of industrial lasers.
A major laser manufacturing company we worked with was searching for a process that would not only provide a contaminant-free part for its products, which are assembled in a clean room, but also a smoother part surface for better sealing properties.
After processing material samples and actual prototypes, a process was developed to provide the surface finish the manufacturer required. When the research and development was completed, (.0006” to .0008”) total material removal was approved and specified with an Able specification number. The specification number includes the alloy code, type of electrolyte, primary goal and material removal. The company’s R&D engineers determined that electropolishing the parts was critical to the proper functioning of the lasers.
Send your samples for electropolishing to evaluate both finish and dimensional changes. If electropolishing is added during the design stage, the material removal can be factored into your final size specifications.
Download our technical guide and discover how electropolishing is a more cost effective method of achieving clean parts for your photonics, optics or laser applications.
Electropolishing, with its ability to remove a microscopically precise layer of surface material with consistent results, is the finishing process of choice for such parts, for many reasons. Learn why electropolishing is more effective than other methods for removing burrs.
Whether you are an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), a part manufacturer or a metal working shop looking to solve these common surface problems, it's critical to find a solution to adequately address these issues in a cost-effective method.
In aerospace manufacturing, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is often the only practical way to create the intricate shapes, micro-features, and tight-tolerance geometries required in high-performance parts. From fuel-system components to actuator housings, landing-gear hardware, and propulsion assemblies, EDM enables precision…
Burrs—those unwanted raised edges, micro-protrusions, and sharp fragments left behind after machining, stamping, or laser cutting—are a common challenge in metal manufacturing.
At the Battery Show and EV Tech Expo 2025 in Detroit recently, the Able Electropolishing team had the opportunity to meet with manufacturers and suppliers of batteries and battery parts across industries that included automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics and medical…
