The Purpose of Robotics Coatings
Robotics coatings and plating are vital in ensuring the durability and reliability of robotic systems by providing essential protection and performance enhancements for their components. These specialized coatings are engineered to offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear,
and extreme temperatures,
which are typical challenges in robotics environments.
Moreover, robotics coatings help improve efficiency by minimizing friction, enhancing durability, and reducing maintenance costs. Adherence to stringent industry standards such as AMS 2438, AMS 2460, and NADCAP ensures that robotics coatings meet the highest quality and safety criteria, making them crucial in modern robotics applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Components coated with Armoloy TDC are 100% safe for workers and end users. Plated components are used extensively in the food and drug industry, and routinely certified for REACH and RoHS compliance. In addition, Armoloy invests heavily in the newest technology to help ensure the safety of our employees and communities. For more information, learn about the misconceptions of chromium coatings.
Yes, Armoloy coatings will conduct electricity. Chat with an Armoloy engineer for information on conductive and non-conductive coatings.
While thin dense chrome (TDC) and hard chrome are both considered functional coatings, TDC differs from traditional hard chrome in the thickness and surface texture. TDC coatings are in the range of 0.0001 to 0.0005”, while traditional hard chrome is usually over 0.002”, and can measure 0.010” or more, depending on the application. Because of the very low effective thickness, thin dense chrome can often be applied to existing designs without affecting tolerances or fit-up. In addition, traditional hard chrome has a microcracked surface while TDC has a micronodular surface. Both provide a low wear surface, but the micronodular texture can provide superior lubrication retention and wear resistance. Decorative chrome is another coating entirely and is actually a multilayer coating applied to provide an attractive, shiny surface with good corrosion resistance.
Certification to many industry and supplier specifications is available, including AMS 2438 and AMS 2460, depending on the location. In addition, the Armoloy network has fulfillment centers with Quality Management Systems accredited to NADCAP, ISO 9001, and AS9100 requirements.
