Rocklinizer Automation system from Rocklin Mfg. brings turnkey automation to hard surface coating

Rocklin Manufacturing has introduced Rocklinizer Automation, the first turnkey automation system in its line of carbide application equipment. The company’s proprietary Rocklinizer spark deposition process applies extremely hard and wear-resistant coatings onto steel surfaces, typically through a hand-held, manual coating process.
The system achieves precisely controlled deposits, from 0.0001 to 0.010 in., in three steps:
- Measure and position the part to be coated in the large X-Y frame.
- Insert the electrode into the applicator and adjust the power and speed to desired levels.
- Input the part dimensions on the integrated touchscreen PC and trigger the coating process.
Unlike welding or metal spraying, the process generates minimal heat, and the electrode material will not separate or flake off, according to the company. After application, no heat treatment, grinding, or other surface treatment is necessary.
The carbide application process helps boost grip on tube bending dies, collets, and robot grippers; minimize die casting wear; eliminate slug pullback in punching and stamping; restore tolerances in bearings and shafts; and increase the life of cutting tools.
