For high-volume production, cost per part is everything. Manual or inefficient processes can destroy profitability through high labor costs and wasted material. The most cost-effective solution is a fully automated automotive parts electrophoresis line from TIMS. The process boasts over 95% material utilization, slashing paint costs compared to spraying. Our automated systems, from robotic loading to intelligent conveyors, minimize the need for manual labor. Our energy-efficient designs reduce utility consumption. By combining these efficiencies, a TIMS automotive parts electrophoresis line delivers the lowest possible cost per part at the highest possible volume, directly boosting your bottom line.
Primer adhesion failure (delamination) is a catastrophic defect that often traces back to poor surface preparation. At TIMS, we believe that a world-class coating starts with world-class pre-treatment. That is why every automotive parts electrophoresis line we build includes a meticulously designed, multi-stage pre-treatment section. We engineer a series of cleaning, rinsing, and conversion coating stages (typically zinc phosphate for steel) that chemically and physically alter the part's surface to create an ideal anchor profile for the e-coat to bond with. This obsession with a perfect foundation is why parts from a TIMS automotive parts electrophoresis line exhibit superior adhesion and long-term durability.
Becoming a certified Tier 1 supplier requires more than just good parts; it requires a process that is repeatable, controllable, and verifiable. This is where a professional automotive parts electrophoresis line from TIMS becomes a critical asset. Our systems are designed to provide the rigorous process control that OEMs demand. We give you precise, digital command over every critical variable, from pre-treatment chemical concentrations to e-coat film thickness and cure oven temperatures. Crucially, our PLC systems log this data, providing the verifiable proof of compliance you need to pass stringent OEM audits and achieve top-tier supplier status.
In the automotive world, if you can't prove it, it didn't happen. Verbal assurances of quality are not enough; you need data. This is a core feature of the automotive parts electrophoresis line systems from TIMS. Our advanced PLC and HMI controls don't just run the line—they monitor and record every critical process variable in real-time. We can provide you with a data log for every single rack of parts, showing the pre-treatment times, bath parameters, rectifier voltage/amperage, and the full time-temperature profile from the curing oven. This verifiable data log is the ultimate proof of compliance that you can provide to your OEM customers.
The automatic spray painting production line has greatly improved our coating consistency. The robotic system ensures precision and saves a lot of labor costs.
We have been running the enamel production line for over a year. It is stable, reliable, and the coating quality is excellent. Highly recommend for water heater tank manufacturing.
The electrophoresis production line for compressors delivers strong anti-corrosion coating and reduces rework rates. Very satisfied with both the equipment and technical support.
This powder spraying line integrates pre-treatment and coating seamlessly. It improved our efficiency by nearly 30% and the finished shells look flawless.
Great investment! The automated production line not only increased our output but also helped us meet environmental standards with lower emissions and less paint waste.
Yes, a modern automotive parts electrophoresis line can be engineered to handle multiple substrates. This requires a sophisticated pre-treatment section with a flexible chemistry that can properly prepare both steel (typically with a zinc phosphate conversion coating) and aluminum (often with a zirconium-based conversion coating). A knowledgeable supplier like TIMS can design a multi-substrate line that allows you to process different parts with optimal adhesion and performance for each.
A vast array of components are processed through an automotive parts electrophoresis line. This includes structural parts like chassis frames, subframes, and cross-members; suspension components like control arms and springs; engine and transmission brackets; seat frames; brake components; and even entire bodies-in-white (BIW) at the OEM level. Essentially, any steel or aluminum part that requires a long-term, high-performance corrosion-resistant primer is a candidate.
OEMs like GM, Ford, Toyota, and VW have extremely strict specifications (e.g., GMW14671, WSS-M2P177) for corrosion protection. An advanced automotive parts electrophoresis line provides the process control needed to meet these standards repeatably. It allows for precise control over film thickness, cure temperature, and pre-treatment quality, all of which are critical parameters audited by OEMs. The ability to provide verifiable data from a well-managed line is often a prerequisite for becoming a certified Tier 1 supplier.
Cathodic e-coating (or CED) is the process where the part to be coated is made the cathode (negatively charged) in the electrical circuit. This is the universal standard for any high-performance automotive parts electrophoresis line. The cathodic process provides dramatically superior adhesion and corrosion resistance compared to the older anodic method, making it the only process that can meet the demanding salt spray and cyclic corrosion test requirements set by automotive OEMs.
Spray priming is a line-of-sight application, meaning it cannot reliably coat complex shapes, internal cavities, or recessed areas common in automotive components. An automotive parts electrophoresis line uses an immersion process where the electric field drives the coating into every crevice, weld seam, and box section. This "throw power" guarantees 100% coverage and a uniform film thickness, providing a complete, uninterrupted barrier against rust, which is something spray painting simply cannot achieve.
An automotive parts electrophoresis line is a sophisticated, multi-stage industrial system designed to apply a primer coating (e-coat) to vehicle components. The process involves submerging the parts in a liquid bath containing an emulsion of epoxy or acrylic resins and pigment. An electric current is passed through the bath, causing the coating particles to deposit uniformly onto every conductive surface of the part. This is followed by rinsing and baking in a curing oven to create a hard, durable, and highly corrosion-resistant finish.
