Como llegar a un acabado espejo en los metales




Me dedico a la fabricacion de letras en placa de metal, como aluminio, laton , bronce y acero inoxidable, en espesores de 1/8" hasta 1/4", con acabados cepillado y brillante lo mas parecido al espejo. adquiri una lijadora de banda ancha de 91 cm, para dar acabados, el acababado cepillado no es el problema, el problema es el brillante, actualmente lo hacemos de manera artesanal desde un grano grueso hasta el mas fino. Mi pregunta es como puedo industrializar mi proceso y con que productos utilizar. Despues corto con waterjet. Gracias.

Since when did you decide to print questions in Spanish?

Hi. When we started this "worldwide" web site in 1995 we welcomed letters in all languages and also tried to maintain a dictionary of finishing terms in every language.

But after 9-11 (2001), and learning about steganography, we discontinued most foreign language postings, and at the same time we started getting so busy that we simply didn't have the time to handle non-english letters anyway.

But we've printed occasional letters in Spanish or French in the meanwhile. We have a NAFTA treaty with countries & provinces whose official languages are Spanish & French and some of our advertisers are trying to reach those readers. Plus, Spanish & French have been the traditional foreign languages taught in high school since you & I were in school, so to most readers they're generally comprehensible with a bit of dictionary or google translator work. And steganography in Spanish or French text is unlikely to slip through.

We're not trying to make a political statement, just reasonable compromises to satisfy our advertisers and our readership. Thanks!

Ed. note July 2013: Even French & Spanish letters became too time consuming. We don't have time to post all the letters we get anymore, so it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time on one Spanish letter and have to throw way 10 English letters we could have posted in the same time :-)



English and spanish answer (Contesto en inglés y español):
Vibratory tumble finishing is used for high volume automated polishing. (El acabado vibratorio en barril se usa para pulido automatizado en altos volúmenes). It is known as (se le conoce como) tamborileado in Mexico.
