Racking and Jigging

Racking and Jigging are part of the process on aluminum anodizing, some parameter on this process actually difficult to supervise, but for experience people can do this easily.

For anodize jigging you are limited to aluminum or titanium if you are going to use metal or a non-conductive. The areas where the rack and the part will touch will not be anodized. Racking, also called jigging, is one of the most important steps in the anodizing process.

The racking geometry can also affect to color uniformity within a load as can the choice of the voltage time of electric current. Proper jigging of difficult to do if the object is thick walled profiles.
