Vibratory Plating Machine is a key equipment designed for the mass plating of small, precision, or irregularly shaped workpieces (such as screws, nuts, electronic components, etc.). The machine uses vibration to ensure uniform movement of the workpieces in the plating solution, guaranteeing consistent coating thickness and complete coverage. Below is an introduction to the working principle, core advantages, and applicable scenarios:
The core of a vibratory plating machine is a plating tank with a vibration function. The tank generates high-frequency vibrations (with adjustable amplitude and frequency) through an eccentric wheel or vibrating motor. The workpieces are placed in a mesh or basket container inside the tank, and under the vibration, they continuously tumble and collide. Simultaneously, an electrical current is applied, allowing metal ions in the plating solution to evenly deposit on the surface of the workpieces, achieving uniform electroplating.
Good Coating Uniformity: The vibration ensures that the workpieces come into contact with the plating solution from all angles, solving the problem of uneven coating caused by overlapping or blocking in traditional hanging plating, making it especially suitable for parts with grooves or gaps.
High Efficiency: It can process a large number of small workpieces at once, without the need for individual fixtures, reducing manual operations and improving batch production efficiency.
Protects Workpieces: Compared to barrel plating, the vibration intensity in vibratory plating is controllable, which reduces the risk of collisions and wear on small, delicate parts (such as electronic pins or small screws).
Wide Application Range: The vibration parameters (frequency and amplitude) and electroplating processes (current and time) are adjustable, making it adaptable to different materials (metal, plastic) and plating requirements (zinc, nickel, copper, etc.).
The vibratory plating machine is primarily used for mass electroplating of small workpieces, such as:
Hardware Industry: Zinc and nickel plating for standard parts like screws, nuts, washers, and small springs.
Electronics Industry: Tin and gold plating for connectors, pins, and small electronic components.
Jewelry Industry: Decorative electroplating (e.g., silver, copper) for small metal jewelry pieces.
In addition, vibratory plating machines are commonly used for processing precision parts that require high coating uniformity, addressing the limitations of hanging and barrel plating in small workpiece processing.
