Abstract:  
ZERO Products Div., Clemco Industries Corp. 2001 Clemco Industries Corp. Reprinted with permission We recently delivered an automated cabinet that proves persistence pays. A manufacturer needed to clean and etch parts made from exotic metal. As with many customers, these folks asked that we do not divulge their proprietary processes, so I can't describe their application for these parts in any detail. The parts are flat and up to about four feet by four feet square. Some are expanded metal; others, solid sheets. They range in thickness from sheet metal to 6 inches. Some require a specific Ra finish, others just need a rough surface without distorting the part's shape.
