Success factor 7: Rounded edges for reliable coatingsWhen paint or powder coatings begin to flake off the sharp edges of your assemblies, complaints are bound to follow. Rounded edges on the parts tremendously improve the adhesion of the paint and other coatings. This is why rounding the edges is an important step after laser cutting. Although edge-rounding represents an additional process near the beginning of the processing chain, it prevents unpleasant surprises further down the line. Nowadays, deburring machines reliably deburr and round the panel edges in a single pass. High-speed grinding tools rapidly round the edges of the panel, delivering consistent quality. One appealing side-effect: this processing step often creates an attractive surface finish on the panel.
