Technology & Products
Key Products
Vibratory finishing machines (V-Max series); Centrifugal finishing systems (Roto-Max); Robotic grinding and finishing cells; CNC and high-speed automation solutions; Abrasive belt and brush finishing equipment; Specialty finishing compounds (Roto-Brite)
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: Widest variety of mass finishing equipment globally per company claims; defensible through patented designs (specific patents not publicly listed) and 135+ years of process expertise.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces post-processing labor by up to 80% through automation, improves surface finish consistency (Ra < 0.1 μm achievable), and enables high-volume finishing of AM parts with proprietary centrifugal and vibratory technologies.
How They Differentiate
Offers broader equipment range than ALMCO (vibratory, centrifugal, robotic vs. ALMCO's focus on vibratory); higher automation capability than Clemco (robotic cells vs. manual blasting); proprietary Up-Flow centrifugal technology provides 30% faster cycle times vs. conventional centrifugal systems.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers using additive manufacturing (automotive, aerospace, medical) requiring post-processing of 3D printed metal, plastic, ceramic, and rubber parts.
