Cleanliness and detail finish: elimination of assembly preparation costs thanks to vibratory finishing and ultrasonic cleaning

In many companies, the highest costs do not result from the production of parts itself, but from what happens afterwards. It is enough for the components to reach the assembly line with minor dirt, processing residues, or sharp edges. This results in corrections, additional cleaning, slowdowns in work, and further operating costs. That is why the cleanliness of components and their actual readiness for assembly are so important today—without the need for the customer to supplement the process.

At Prasmet, these elements are built into the standard of implementation. The company supplies components that are to go into the assembly basket, not “for further processing.” This is the foundation of stable and predictable cooperation.

Vibratory finishing as the basis for a quality finish

The first stage in preparing parts for assembly is vibratory finishing. The process removes burrs, smoothes surfaces, and improves the aesthetics of the components. This is crucial in manufacturing for industries where every detail must be repeatable and safe to use.

Prasmet uses various abrasive media and operating parameters, which allows the finishing effect to be tailored to a specific project. This ensures that the finish of the details is repeatable and predictable regardless of the size of the series. A detailed description of the additional processes can be found in the additional metal processing section on the manufacturer’s website.

Ultrasonic cleaning – clean parts at the process level, no corrections

The second important element is ultrasonic cleaning. Prasmet works with a modern cleaning machine that uses vacuum, chip separators, and agents that provide corrosion protection. This ensures that the parts are clean, dry, and properly prepared for packaging.

The customer receives a component that can be used immediately. There is no need for re-washing or degreasing at their own facility. This saves time and eliminates unnecessary steps. A full description of the process can be found in the parts cleaning tab.

Elimination of assembly preparation costs on the customer’s side

Delivering parts ready for assembly is one of the biggest advantages of this approach. For the customer, this means:

  • shorter turnaround time for the entire process,
  • no need to order additional cleaning services,
  • no downtime caused by manual batch preparation,
  • fewer complaints resulting from dirt or uneven finish.

At Prasmet, cleaning, packaging, and standard quality control are part of the service—there are no additional fees or hidden costs. The consistency of the process is also confirmed by the wide range of technological operations performed, described in detail in the technological processes section.

Quality support—control at every stage

The cleanliness of parts does not exist in a vacuum. Prasmet bases its production on the ISO 9001:2015 quality system and uses its own measuring laboratory equipped with Keyence equipment, among other things. Thanks to this, each stage—from initial processing to final finishing—is controlled in a repeatable and documented manner.

This approach reduces the risk of complaints and gives customers the confidence that even large volumes will be consistent and stable in terms of quality.

Process stability and delivery reliability

Clean, ready-to-assemble parts mean less downtime, less risk of corrections, and much greater predictability in work planning. In industries where every hour of downtime generates measurable costs, this approach translates directly into operational safety for the production department.

Prasmet is open to process audits – customers can assess standards on site and verify how individual operations are carried out. This guarantees transparency and certainty in cooperation.

Q&A

Is vibratory finishing sufficient to ensure that a part is safe to assemble?

Yes, vibratory finishing removes burrs and smoothes edges, which eliminates problems during assembly and improves the aesthetics of the parts.

Why is ultrasonic cleaning more effective than standard cleaning?

Ultrasound reaches places that manual cleaning cannot reach. This removes dirt that could cause problems in the operation of the component.

Will I receive parts ready for assembly?

Yes. The parts are cleaned, dried, packaged, and quality controlled. They do not require further preparation by the customer.

Are the cleaning and finishing processes compliant with the quality system?

Yes, Prasmet operates in accordance with ISO 9001:2015, and each stage of production is monitored in a measurement laboratory.
