Yesterday at a press conference the Cyklos start-up presented its revolutionary surface treatment process with the new Cyklos A300 machine. We discussed about the first results on the market! The machine seems outstanding; nevertheless it needs quite a huge floor space. The first machine is then clearly dedicated to large companies… but new models will be released later.
Compared to the previous design presented on Eurotec’s, the machine is now finalised and presents a simpler design.
Nowadays, surface treatments are everywhere and affect all industries: from decorating bottles of cosmetics to coating automotive, medical, electronic and micromechanical parts. Up until now, surface treatments have been processed in specialised units, in specially-equipped premises fitted with installations for treating gases and waste water. Surface treatment therefore required a heavy infrastructure; for that reason, many companies prefer to outsource this operation, but this generates significant logistical costs and means they are dependent on a service provider.
A new way to work Cyklos aims to revolutionise the market by offering an autonomous, in-house solution which not only relieves companies of the inherent logistical costs but also significantly improves the quality of treatments, with no need for a special infrastructure. Cyklos equipment will enable production workshops to verticalise an essential step in their value chain, improving quality and reducing costs. Cyklos solutions can be integrated in any workshop and do not require waste treatment installations. Waste is contained, controlled and filtered; the treatment control process is completed automated. In contrast with conventional processes, Cyklos technology treats parts by rotation; the treatment quality is greatly superior.
To be seen at Simodec The Cyklos project was challenging for the engineers in charge, which in itself is good news: there was never any compromise with this ambitious project. "The Simodec show is an opportunity for us to prove that our concept really works; thanks to the presence of production machines on the stand, we can perform ’live’ treatment on parts produced by the turning machines. This way, visitors can see for themselves that integrating a Cyklos machine in a bar turning workshop really is possible without any prior knowledge of surface treatment," stated Brice Renggli, Head of Marketing.
Simple and effective Bucket loading can be automated using a robot cell. Visitors to the show can also see just how easy it is to get started with the machine. In fact, it requires very little basic knowledge and can achieve unprecedented quality levels: "Initial orders have already been delivered and customer feedback is very positive. The product is very easy to master," reports Emmanuel Sagnes, Product Manager at Cyklos.
