VIBRATORY PLATING

We offers vibratory plating service to bulk process delicate work piece as alternative to barrel plating. Vibratory plating is designed to prevent entanglement, deformation, scratches and other mechanical defects on work piece. It is commonly employed in plating of pin, switch, connector and terminal.

Plating finishes available including nickel, silver, palladium and gold.

Concept

A vibration generator transmits oscillation pulses to the basket through the vertical shaft.

This vibration causes the parts to move slowly around the basket’s axis while gently being mixed and agitated.

The parts move over rows of cathode contact that located at the bottom of the basket, while maintaining electrical contact at all times.

There are plastic screens located at the bottom of the basket, which allow exchange of chemical solution. Thus, ensure constant current density and uniform plating.

Benefits

Reduces precious metal consumption

The vibratory action helps to dislodge trapped solution from the plated parts decreasing the amount of drag-out and increasing the effectiveness of the rinse cycles.

Eliminates part damage

A wide variety of part sizes and types can be plated in these units. The gentle vibratory action reduces tangling and protects small delicate parts from being bent, scratched, or otherwise damaged.

Minimizes drag-out

The vibratory action helps to dislodge trapped solution from the plated parts decreasing the amount of drag-out and increasing the effectiveness of the rinse cycles.

Vibration improve parts lapping defects

The vibration action helps to separate the parts during the plating process to prevent overlap together.
