At Pioneer, we employ our proprietary VA-100 high-speed vortex anodizing machines to perform vortex anodizing operations. The use of these machines allows us to establish hardcoat finishes with greater wear resistance in shorter periods of time compared to conventional hard anodizing methods. This process is particularly suitable for anodizing ring grooves and lands on automotive pistons and small areas of components in high volumes. Anodizing 50-times faster than batch Tolerances of +/-.0001 can be achieved with Pioneer’s Vortex Anodizing Ideal for just-in–time Production Very compact footprint Low labor & operating costs Each piston monitored for quality control Uniform coating throughout groove No racking – quick change fixtures Low Ra capabilities Over 140 Million pistons have been processed in North America with VA-100 machine solutions
