Hansheng Automation (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. is one of the most experienced manufacturers and suppliers of mirror polishing in China. If you're going to wholesale bulk cost-effective mirror polishing made in China, welcome to get pricelist and quotation from our factory. Also, customized service and OEM&ODM service are available.

 

Hansheng Automation is a supplier of precision mechanical components. In high-end manufacturing, a mirror finish is not just about visual appeal-it is a critical requirement for performance. Whether for reducing friction in planetary gearboxes, preventing bacterial growth in medical devices, or ensuring perfect release in plastic injection molds, surface roughness is a key metric.

 

Leveraging our advanced CNC manufacturing capabilities (including Seibu WEDM and Kashifuji Gear Skiving), we provide an end-to-end solution: from high-precision machining to ultra-mirror polishing. We don't just polish parts; we engineer surfaces, achieving roughness values as low as Ra < 0.01μm while strictly maintaining dimensional tolerances within ±0.002mm.

 

Why Choose Us?
 
 

Many polishing shops compromise part dimensions in pursuit of shine. We do not.

 

Tolerance Integrity

As a manufacturer capable of producing ISO/DIN Level 5 Gears and Harmonic Drives (≤ 5 arc sec), we understand precision. We ensure that polishing does not alter the geometric accuracy or fit of your components.

 
 

Ultra-Mirror Machining

For specific geometries, we use Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) or Micro-EDM to achieve a mirror finish directly through machining, minimizing human error.

 
 

Complex Geometry Handling

From internal cavities in medical manifolds to curved surfaces on robotic joints, our 5-axis capabilities and fluid polishing techniques ensure uniform consistency even in hard-to-reach areas.

 
 

Enhanced Physical Properties

Our process removes micro-cracks and stress concentrators, significantly improving corrosion resistance and fatigue strength for high-load parts.

Our Mirror Polishing Process

 

In our CNC machining center, polishing technology can be integrated into our CNC manufacturing process (if requested by the customer), which helps ensure the dimensional tolerance of the workpiece. Below we will introduce our mirror polishing process.

 

Engineering evaluation and tolerance planning
Before processing, our engineers will determine the polishing allowance. Ensure that key dimensions do not become undersized after polishing.

 

High precision basic machining
We use the "Super Pika Finish" technology of Seibu slow wire (M50B) or high-speed CNC milling to achieve a pre polished surface with Ra 0.2 μ m-0.4 μ m.

 

Progressive grinding
We use a series of oilstones and fine sandpaper (from 400 mesh to 2000 mesh) to remove processing marks. This stage focuses on smoothing out surface wave peaks.

 

Diamond paste polishing
We use diamond grinding paste of different grades (particle size as small as 1 μ m or 0.5 μ m) in combination with specialized fiber wheels or felt wheels to effectively eliminate fine scratches.

 

Final inspection and cleaning
The parts undergo ultrasonic cleaning to remove residual grinding paste. Finally, we use a roughness meter and a glossiness meter to verify the results, ensuring that the Ra value meets the specifications (such as Ra<0.01 μ m), and issue a quality report.

 

 

Industry Application

FAQ

 

 

Q: Will your mirror polishing process affect the part's tolerances?

A: No. For parts requiring high precision, we will leave a few microns of polishing allowance, or use our "ultra-mirror finishing" technology (accuracy ±0.002mm) to ensure that the final product fully meets the drawing tolerances.

Q: What is the highest surface finish you can achieve?

A: Depending on the material, we can achieve an optical-grade mirror finish of Ra 0.005μm - 0.01μm, equivalent to the SPI-A1 standard.

Q: Can you polish even complex internal cavity structures?

A: Yes. Using our fluid polishing technology and high-precision electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment, we can process complex internal cavities and fine structures that are difficult to reach with traditional tools.

Q: Do you accept small-batch custom orders?

A: Yes. Whether it's single-piece prototype development or large-scale production, we provide consistently high-standard service.
