1. Product Overview
Automatic Copper Electroplating Equipment is designed to deposit a uniform and dense copper coating on metal or non-metal workpieces through a fully automated process.
By integrating pretreatment, electroplating, and post-treatment into one system, it significantly improves conductivity, corrosion resistance, and surface finish, while ensuring consistent quality and high productivity.
2. Working Principle
The system operates based on electrochemical deposition:
The workpiece acts as the cathode
Copper anodes (soluble or insoluble) serve as the anode
Both are immersed in a prepared electrolyte solution
When DC power is applied:
Copper dissolves from the anode into ions
Copper ions migrate toward the cathode
They are reduced and deposited as metallic copper
This results in a uniform and dense copper coating.
