Overview
Pearson Manufacturing supports finishing and light mechanical assembly through a hybrid fulfillment model. Some processes are completed at our Ontario facility, while others are coordinated through vetted Canadian partners. Whether you’re adding a surface treatment, prepping for display, or shipping a kitted set — we close the loop from machining to packaging with QA oversight at every step.
⚠️ Hybrid fulfillment: projects may be routed in-house or through partners based on finish, geometry, timing, and volume.
Quick Specs
| Finish / Process | Best For | Typical Thickness | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anodize Type II | Colour/corrosion protection | ≈ 5–25 µm | Growth affects fit; mask critical bores/threads |
| Anodize Type III (Hardcoat) | Wear & abrasion resistance | ≈ 25–50 µm+ | Thicker/darker; greater growth; tighter control needed |
| Chem-Film (MIL-DTL-5541) | Corrosion + conductivity (Class 3) | Very thin | Gold/clear options; good for bonding/grounding |
| Powder Coat (RAL/Pantone) | Durable colour top-coat | ≈ 50–150 µm | Specify colour code; mask mating/ground points |
| Bead Blast | Uniform matte texture | n/a | Affects appearance of dyes/paints; reveals tool paths if heavy |
| Marking (laser/screen/pad) | IDs, logos, legends | n/a | Select based on durability, geometry, and contrast |
Finishing & Assembly Capabilities
- Anodizing (Type II clear/black & dyed) and hard-coat (Type III) coordination
- Chromate conversion (chem-film) per MIL-DTL-5541; paint/powder pre-treat
- Powder coating in standard or custom colours (RAL/Pantone match by review)
- Part deburring, edge finishing, bead blasting, and hand polishing
- Graphic application: silk screening, pad printing, laser engraving/etch
- Hardware install: PEM/clinching, studs, Helicoils/inserts; light sub-assembly
- Component kitting, labeling/serialization, and protective packaging
- Inspection packages on request (dimensional report, FAIR/FAI, CoC, material certs)
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
- Call out finish type + code clearly (e.g., “Anodize Type II clear”, “MIL-DTL-5541 Class 3 clear”, “RAL 9005 powder”).
- Account for coating growth on tight fits: consider mask, ream after coat, or design pre-coat allowances per feature.
- Specify masking for threads, grounding pads, critical bores, and cosmetic faces; provide a marked PDF for clarity.
- If colour-critical, provide a chip/Pantone/RAL reference and note gloss/sheen; confirm batch/lot expectations.
- Choose marking method by geometry & durability: laser for permanency/contrast, pad/screen for bold legends.
- For PEM/Helicoils, state hardware spec, orientation, torque or pull-out requirements; note install after-finish when needed.
- Add carton/kitting instructions (bag per station, barcode/QR, ESD/foam) so parts arrive line-ready.
We’ll review your drawing/CAD and confirm achievable specs and masking with the fastest viable routing (in-house or partner) before kickoff.
Common Applications
- Finished aluminum parts with clear/black anodize (Type II) or hard-coat (Type III)
- Bracket and frame assemblies with press-fit PEM hardware
- Colour-coded mechanical kits for field service or production cells
- Screened/printed control panels, bezels, fronts, and enclosures
Finishing & Assembly FAQs
How do I get a fast finishing & assembly quote?
Upload your STEP and PDF, finish callouts (e.g., Type II clear anodize or RAL code for powder), quantities, and target date. We’ll route in-house or via trusted Canadian partners and reply quickly.
Do you perform finishing in-house or through partners?
Both. Prep and light processes can be in-house; anodize, powder, and specialty treatments are coordinated through vetted Canadian finishers under Pearson QA and a single PO.
Can you colour-match or hit a specific sheen?
Yes — provide a chip/sample or RAL/Pantone reference. We’ll confirm achievable gloss/sheen and provide drawdowns as needed.
What assembly services can you handle?
PEM hardware, Helicoils/inserts, light mechanical fit-ups, torque specs, and sub-kitting with labels/part IDs. Inspection and CoC/FAI available on request.
Can you manage kitting, labelling, and staggered deliveries?
Absolutely. We can bag/box by station or site, apply barcodes/QR, and schedule partials to meet your build plan.
Do you sign NDAs and support RoHS/REACH?
We regularly execute NDAs. RoHS/REACH-compatible materials and certs are available — tell us your compliance needs on the RFQ.
