The process of our luminaires manufacture combines design and technology together with a blend of software. The very first step of our work begins with design & development process of our engineers to create high quality fixtures.

Utilising 3 Dimensional CAD software initially in the fixture design and product layout.

The Unilamp R & D team are experts in the use of:

AutoCad for drawings and drafting
Solid Works for 3D fixtures design and FEA analysis
Unigraphic NX5    for mould design and fabrication
Photopia for design of lighting optics
DIALux to provide high quality lighting calculations and solutions for our clients via web based intergration
3Ds MAX Conceptual rendering for clients

 

Mould and Tool making Fabrication

All Moulds and tools are made to exhaustive Unilamp procedures.

Equipped with computerized CNC milling equipment for a precision moulding assists us to achieve high flexibility in mould manufacturing.

Unilamp full process consists of 16 stages

Nano Ceramic surface conversion process optimizes the corrosion resistant property and increases powder coat adhesion.

The chemical concentration in the process is checked daily to ensure that the parameter of every step is fully maintained.

Primary epoxy-resin based coating increases corrosion resistant property on the surface when exposed to severe climatic conditions. The primer is formulated to be used on casting metal substrates such as aluminium alloys.

UV-stabilized Polyester powder coat from Jotun gives a long-lasting colour rendering and combines protective properties with good weather resistance.

High purity De-Ionized water is used in the process.

The laboratory test result shows that our coated aluminium parts have passed 2,000 hours salt spray resistance test (ASTM B 117) and humidity atmospheric resistance test (DIN 50017).

Our product testing is second to none and our clients can be assured that at Unilamp a thorough process of product testing is adhered to, both at our factory and at any of our partners premises. All luminaires that carry the Unilamp trademark fall under our guidelines for manufacture.
