This fully automatic plating bench supports multiple metals
plating operations for ceramic circuits. As
custom equipment fabricators, designs such
as this can be scaled up or down to address
specific needs of any plating operation.
As shown, plating baths incorporate
self-contained filtered/recirculating/agitation
systems and chemistry sampling to check
metals concentration. Also included is a low
output spray pre-rinse and recirculating
final rinse to minimize waste output.
“Over-the-backwall” robotic transfer
prevents contamination of the process by the
handling system, and protects the
transfer-hoist itself from exposure to
corrosive chemicals. This design also allows
easy access and maintenance of the hoist
mechanism.
