DLyte PRO500®
The Most Advanced Metal Surface Polishing Machine on the Market
The DLyte PRO500® is the most advanced, powerful, and versatile metal surface finishing system on the market specially designed for mass production. Powered by DryLyte technology, a new patented technology for the treatment of metal surfaces by ion transport using free solid bodies. The process precisely extracts material only from the peaks of the roughness and penetrates the internal cavities of the metal part to which it cannot be accessed mechanically. It does not round the edges. Instead, it provides high-quality metal surface finishing better, faster, and more efficiently.
The DLyte PRO500 system can be integrated into any manufacturing line, requiring highly complex grinding and polishing processes. It combines an intelligent, and robust design with a high output in a very small footprint.
Polish and Smooth Metal Parts with Precision at Scale
The DLyte PRO500® is powered by patented dry-electropolishing technology which uses solid media (electrolytes) combined with an electrical flow and movement to create a clean and precise polishing process. The system can process multiple metal parts during one cycle with a wide range of material compatibility. DLyte PRO500 includes 3 mechanical movements on each of the 8 perimeter spindles. You can process single or multiple metal parts per holder, which means an optimized capacity and performance.
The DryLyte® technology for surface finishing of metal alloys has various applications that range from grinding, rounding, and deburring to surface smoothing and high gloss polishing of aesthetic parts. DLyte offers the solution for an automated post-process of metal parts, improving the finishing results obtained with traditional polishing systems.
Key Features
Homogeneous Results
DryLyte®electropolishing technology is able to achieve homogeneous results across the entire surface of the part, eliminating scratches at the micro and macroscopic level
Geometry preservation
Respects the tolerances and preserves the initial shape, even cutting edges.
Best surface roughness
Ra under 0.01 micrometers
Repeatability and homogeneity
DLyte process guarantees* stable results among different batches within the electrolyte media lifespan.
*Based on Dlyte own testings.
10 x faster
Up to 10 x faster than current processes. DLyte technology and systems replace multiple steps in the metal surface finishing process.
Biocompatibility proven
Clean, non-hazardous, and easy waste management. Alternative abrasive processes lead to extremely dusty and noisy environments.
Negative surface skewness (rsk)
Enhanced negative surface skewness (rsk) which increases the surface bearing that allows uniform film distribution) improving the bearing ratio and reducing the friction between the pieces.
Isotropic surfaces
Due to the DryLyte technology, generating grinding texture patterns is avoided, thus improving wear and fracture resistance, as well as fatigue resistance.
Improved corrosion resistance
DLyte is the only system that is able to remove roughness and improve the corrosion resistance of the metal parts at the same time reducing the number of processes required in the manufacturing process.

Advantages
High capacity and versatile
DLyte PRO500®. One system, multiple applications. It is equipped with 8 perimeter spindles allowing polishing of one or multiple pieces each, using different holders, for a maximum volume of
180 x 250 mm per spindle. The cathode is very close, allowing optimization of capacity as well as improving material removal during the process. Moreover, the system includes a centered spindle for larger parts with a maximum volume of 500 x 250 mm. This, combined with the bottom work bowl cathode, ensures homogenous finishing across the piece.
The relationship between the surface of the workpiece and the volume of the electrolyte is reduced, improving the electrical current flow and reducing the temperature and the possibility of pitting on the parts’ surfaces.

Dedicated for mass production
DLyte PRO500’s mechanical systems are robust, accurate and reliable, designed to create the perfect combination of multiple movements and vibrations to maximize performance for mass production.
Repeatability and homogeneity
DLyte process guarantees stable results among different batches within the electrolyte media lifespan. There is no wear as it would typically occur with abrasive particles.
Repeatability and high output are achieved with innovative power electronics, utilizing the new SIC Pulser technology, with 8 independent high-frequency rectifiers synchronized by optical fiber, delivering up to 360 Amps and 35KW. The new reliable electronics provide better surface finishes, more homogeneous results, and shorter cycle times.
Intuitive software with customizable programs
Easy operation and Advanced automation performed by PLC-based control electronics and a new intuitive interface.
It maximizes the performance and finishing results with its real-time parameters optimization based on conductivity and temperature control.
The intelligent software adjusts parameters to preserve electrolyte quality and prolong its lifespan. It also detects the state of the electrolyte and the remaining useful life.
User-friendly interface with advanced HMI (human-machine interface)
12-inch panel with TFT color widescreen display. High performance, functionality, and numerous integrated interfaces offer the greatest convenience in DLyte application.
Adaptive cathodes
The system includes the possibility to activate the perimeter and inferior cathodes independently, based on the requirements of the polishing. This function allows achieving finishes of greater precision by adapting the electrical current flow to be optimized, based on the geometry of the metal part, resulting in a homogeneous finish.
DLyte PRO500 has 3 different machine packages available, depending on the finishing needs.
Wide range of materials
DLyte PRO500 delivers the full range of electrical parameters, from low to high frequency, parameter concatenation and asymmetric voltage.
In addition, it allows the user to search the ideal parameters for its pieces in the library of processes in the Polishing Manager APP.
Cobalt Chrome, Stainless Steel, Carbides, and main metal alloys such as Nickel, Alluminium and Copper.
Easy maintenance access
The design of the DLyte PRO500 frame and its panels ensures and easy access to the internal components for quick maintenance and operation. The eight power units are located on the sides of the machine with forced cooling and separated from the control unit located on the rear side.
Intelligent and reliable safety mechanisms
As safety is paramount, DLyte PRO500 is equipped with intelligent and reliable safety mechanisms.
- Warning Light Tower: Check your production processes at all times with a compact and reliable warning light tower.
- Magnetic Safety Gates Systems: With an electromagnetic holding force of 500 N or 1000 N, these gates prevent the safeguard from being opened unintentionally. Thanks to manipulation-proof actuators, they offer maximum safety.
- Safety Light Barrier for Fingers: The barriers enable an ergonomic work environment. This is the case when operator intervention is required as part of each cycle such as insertion work, or the loading and unloading of the metal parts.
