Product catalog summary
Introduction
OTEC Präzisionsfinish GmbH, established in 1996, specializes in precision finishing solutions for jewellery and fine workpieces. The company is renowned for its innovative machine concepts tailored to industry needs, employing around 120 staff in Southern Germany with a global sales network.
Overview of Machines
The document details the ECO and EF series machines used for surface finishing in the jewellery industry. These machines are designed for precision finishes through processes like centrifugal disc finishing, magnetic polishing, wet grinding, and dry polishing.
Specifications and Processes
  • Centrifugal Disc Finishing: A mass finishing process using water, soap, and abrasives, up to 20 times more efficient than traditional methods.
  • Magnetic Polishing: Uses steel pins for polishing without material abrasion, ideal for complex geometries.
  • Wet Grinding: Employs plastic abrasives for fine finishes, replacing hand polishing, achieving results in 3-4 hours.
  • Dry Polishing: Utilizes walnut shell granulate for minimal material removal and a brilliant shine, suitable for delicate jewellery.
Machine Models
  • ECO-Mini: Available in wet and dry versions, suitable for small batches and prototypes.
  • ECO-Maxi: Offers modular options for magnetic, wet, and dry processes, designed for cost efficiency.
  • EF Series: Features a patented gap adjustment system for processing thin jewellery pieces, optimized for large batches.
Certifications and Quality Assurance
The machines are certified according to DIN 9001, ensuring optimized workflow and high-quality assurance.
Key Features and Benefits
  • High efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  • Capability to handle complex and delicate designs.
  • Reduction in manual labor and time.
  • Customizable options for different needs.
Applications
Suitable for polishing natural stones, large jewellery pieces with set stones, and thin-walled precision parts. The document emphasizes the importance of processing media like walnut shell granulate and porcelain polishing media.
Plastic Abrasives
Plastic abrasives such as KM 10 and PM 10 are used for creating fine surfaces, available in cone and pyramid shapes for different applications.
Compounds
Grinding compounds like SC 4 and SC 5 are used in wet processes to maintain cleanliness and grinding effect.
Polishing and Grinding Pastes
Used in dry processing, with specific pastes for different materials like silver and gold alloys.
Product Lines
  • CF Series: Designed for bulk processing of precision-engineered workpieces.
  • EPAG Flex: Used for smoothing and polishing gold and silver workpieces.

EXTREMELY FAST, EXTREMELY EFFICIENT Centrifugal disc finishing machines from OTEC. The centrifugal disc finishing process is a mass finishing process specially developed for the surface treatment of work pieces. The pieces to be finished are placed in a container in a solution of water and soap (compound) together with abrasives and usually an auxiliary agent. A rotating motion of the process container causes a relative motion between work piece and abrasive which creates a material abrasion and thus a surface finishing on the work piece. This toroidal motion creates a very aggressive processing...

THE ECO-MAXI SYSTEM The universal solution - for wet processing, dry and magnetic polishing. With the ECO-Maxi system you have the choice to either have a so called "base unit" which incorporates all three processing procedures, or a machine for just one of the three processes. The ECO-Maxi "magnetic", the ECO-Maxi "wet" and the ECO-Maxi "dry". The modular machine concept of the ECO-Maxi is therefore perfect for smaller batch production. Due to the advanced technology, the machines are characterised by high economic efficiency with which you can save approx. 60% of your production costs. The...
