WMV lunac1

What distinguishes WMV from other plating companies and
laboratories for tribology and material research ?:

1. The plating department and the laboratory for tribology and material research work very closely, which facilitates innovative solutions and quality control: this exchange of know-how results in a very practical approach to the development of research methods.
2. All Lunac alloy coatings are unique and exclusive WMV products. The full bond and thick coating capability with a great variaty of regular alloys is nearly unparalleled due to the 6 steps of alloy specific pre-treatment and our extensive database developed over the last 27 years.
3. As well as large runs, WMV is equally well-adapted to carrying out single jobs
4. We store the plating data from every project for reasons of reproducibility.
5. Most WMV employees are mechanical engineers or chemists and
   consequently are able to offer comprehensive technical support.
6. Hardening and annealing can take place in a hanging position.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   All WMV coatings can offer full bond. This photograph displays
   a sliced and over-stretched section. Still, even thick and broken
   Lunac 2+ layers do not peel off.

   The third production line is highly automated and has been designed with the most advanced technology. The surrounding pictures show some of the supporting laboratory equipment.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   The WMV vertical forced-air circulation furnace can harden or anneal parts up to L = 4160 mm (163") at Ø 870 mm (33.07"). An additional structure (bottom left) can be installed to treat parts up to 4000 mm / 157.5"/3000 Kg in a hanging position.
   
   

We can manufacture special support-systems on our various lathes, milling and grinding machines. The flat and cylindrical grinding machines (round grinding machine up to 3200 mm / 126 ") are able to finish Lunac 2+ coated products to a very high precision (as low as +/- 2 µm).
