The Vibratory Plating Machine for Electroplating Production Lines is a device designed for batch electroplating of small, precise, or irregularly shaped parts, such as screws, nuts, and electronic components. It uses vibration to ensure uniform movement of the parts in the plating solution, ensuring consistent plating thickness and full coverage. Below is an introduction to its working principle, key advantages, and applicable scenarios:
The core component of the vibratory plating machine is the plating tank with a vibration function. The tank body generates high-frequency vibrations through an eccentric wheel or vibration motor (both amplitude and frequency are adjustable). The parts are placed in a mesh or basket container inside the plating tank, where they continuously roll and collide under the vibration. At the same time, electrical current is passed through, allowing metal ions in the plating solution to be evenly deposited onto the surface of the parts, achieving comprehensive plating.
Uniform Plating Quality: The vibration ensures that all areas of the workpiece make contact with the plating solution, solving the issue of uneven plating caused by overlapping or shielding in traditional hanging plating. This is especially suitable for parts with grooves or gaps.
High Efficiency: A large number of small parts can be processed at once, without the need to hang and clamp each part individually, reducing manual labor and improving mass production efficiency.
Protection of Parts: Compared to barrel plating, the vibration intensity in vibratory plating can be controlled, reducing the risk of collision and wear on small, delicate parts (e.g., electronic pins, small screws).
Wide Application Range: Adjustable vibration parameters (frequency and amplitude) and electroplating processes (current and time) allow the machine to be used for various materials (metal, plastic) and plating types (zinc, nickel, copper, etc.).
Primarily used for batch electroplating of small parts, such as:
Hardware Industry: Electroplating of standard parts such as screws, nuts, washers, small springs (zinc plating, nickel plating).
Electronics Industry: Electroplating of connectors, pins, and small electronic components (tin plating, gold plating).
Jewelry Industry: Decorative plating of small metal jewelry items (e.g., silver plating, copper plating).
Additionally, the vibratory plating machine for electroplating production lines is commonly used to handle precision components that require high plating uniformity, filling the gaps where hanging and barrel plating fall short in processing small workpieces.
