Stainless assembly used in complex printing machinery. Surfaces needed smoothing without damage to base part.

From Able Electropolishing Company, Inc.

This assembly is used as a component for a complex
printing machine. The customer was looking to improve the corrosion
resistance of a clamp assembly and make the clean up cycle
easier for the end user. In addition, the customer needed a smoother finish on the parts to reduce
friction when contact is made with other materials.
