The machine works with the DryLyte technology, a new patented form of surface finishing of metals by ion transport with free solids. This is a dry electropolishing process that uses no liquid as electrolyte. In contrast to conventional polishing systems, this is characterised by a uniform finish, which does not create micro-scratches on the surface and respects the tolerances of the part.

The workpieces are clamped in specially designed holding systems in the DLyte machines. The holder of DLyte10I is dragged with a combination of planetary movement and vertical back-and-forth motion inside the drum containing the dry electrolyte media. The machine includes a high performance cathode inside the perimeter of the drum allowing uniform electrical fields to achieve homogeneous results across the surface. The conductivity of the dry electrolytes is ensured by a testing device and a precision pump with automatic adjustment.

The DLyte10I is the next larger machine in the Drylyte series with a maximum component size of 120 Ø mm x 50 mm. This machine is particularly suitable for processing:

High value, delicate pieces which cannot be impingement during the process
High precision parts with very tight dimensional tolerances
High demanding finishing requirements
Extremely tough and abrasion-resistant materials.
