Main Classification Of Electroplating Equipment

Main classification of electroplating equipment

The selection of electroplating equipment is of key significance to ensure the quality of electroplating products and improve production efficiency.

This article introduces program-controlled gantry electroplating lines, circular automatic electroplating lines and roller plating automatic production lines, as well as supporting peripheral equipment such as rectifiers, filters, heat exchangers, ultrasonic cleaning machines and additive automatic adding machines.

Electroplating automatic production line

The hanging plating automatic production line is divided into circular mechanical or hydraulic automatic production lines and linear production automatic lines.

Advantages of the circular line

1) High degree of automation, high efficiency, reduced labor intensity, and fewer operators;

2) Lever-type vertical lifting, high utilization rate of plating tank capacity;

3) Short exposure time, stable operation of workpieces, and each arm time is about 20~100s;

4) Suitable for electroplating with high coating quality requirements, large batches, relatively simple shapes, and mature processes. Lightweight mechanical circular electroplating production line (commonly known as hanging fish type)

Due to its low price, light and easy maintenance, and high output, the circular automatic electroplating line has a good market.

Advantages of linear electroplating automatic lines for electroplating equipment

1) High degree of automation, high efficiency, and reduced labor intensity. Reduce the number of operators;

2) Suitable for electroplating of heavier parts and large objects, and also suitable for electroplating of parts of different shapes and batches;

3) Convenient change of driving working conditions. Flexible control of electroplating time, suitable for electroplating of various production processes;

4) Excellent and stable electroplating quality. Suitable for processes requiring thicker coatings.

Roller plating automatic lines also have two categories

circular mechanical or hydraulic automatic lines and linear gantry automatic lines. Circular mechanical bell-shaped rollers suitable for tilting automatic loading and unloading

High-speed electroplating equipment (sheet metal, wire) and selective electroplating equipment With the development of the economy and the progress of electronic electroplating.

The demand for high-speed electroplating production automatic lines and selective electroplating production lines has increased. Most of them are undertaken by companies with greater technology and manufacturing capabilities.

Auxiliary equipment around electroplating production line

Electroplating power supply is the most important auxiliary equipment in the electroplating production process.

Rectifier

Silicon rectifiers and thyristor rectifiers are widely used in the wold, which are divided into voltage regulator, magnetic saturation reactor and thyristor.

Silicon rectifiers and thyristor rectifiers for electroplating are low-voltage and high-current, generally 12V (18V for chrome plating), and the current ranges from 100A to 20000A. Silicon rectifiers with thyristor voltage regulation are only available when the load is high. Electroplating power supplies with good current and voltage stability and stable current density are also being promoted and applied.

Electroplating filter

Electroplating solution filtration equipment, electroplating filter is one of the key equipment related to the product quality of electroplating equipment.

Ultrasonic cleaning machine

Ultrasonic equipment uses the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves to greatly speed up the degreasing and rust removal of pre-treatment, shorten the processing time, and improve the degreasing and rust removal effect.

Heating and cooling equipment

Traditional electroplating heating methods mostly use steam or electric heating. Currently, diesel burners are used to heat the hot water tank. Chillers are generally used in summer to ensure that acid bright copper and bright tin plating work at standard operating temperatures.

Electroplating solution automatic management system

The solution automatic management system is an automatic detection and control device for solution composition and process parameters

Electroplating coating composite process application equipment

Cathode electrophoresis With the improvement of the requirements for the decorativeness and corrosion resistance of electroplated products, many products require a layer of coating to be deposited after multi-tone electroplating. Cathode electrophoretic paint has begun to be widely used in the electroplating industry

Electroplating equipment management

Management of electroplating hangers, management of electroplating auxiliary equipment, management of anodes, management of electroplating auxiliary equipment, electroplating production sites, scale of electroplating production, electroplating production equipment, and management of main electroplating equipment.
