I. Solution Overview
The fully automatic electroplating production line is an intelligent plating system designed to meet the modern manufacturing requirements of high-volume production, high consistency, and high stability.
With years of experience in the design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of electroplating equipment, Dongguan Yueqian Technology provides complete turnkey solutions for fully automated electroplating lines.
The entire system adopts PLC control + touchscreen interface + automatic material handling system (gantry/robotic arm/traveling crane) to achieve fully automated or low-labor operation. This ensures improved efficiency, reduced labor cost, and highly stable, predictable, and traceable plating quality.
The system supports a wide range of plating processes, including:
nickel, gold, silver, tin, copper, zinc, chrome, hard chrome, electroless nickel, and more.
It is ideal for products requiring exceptional surface appearance, coating thickness, uniformity, and adhesion.
