The auxiliary equipment of an plating line is a key component to ensure the smooth progress of the electroplating process, guarantee coating quality and production efficiency. Working in coordination with core equipment, it covers all links from workpiece preparation to finished product processing.
Pretreatment Equipment: Used to thoroughly clean the workpiece surface and remove impurities such as oil stains and oxides, laying a good foundation for the adhesion of the electroplating layer. It mainly includes degreasing tanks, pickling tanks and washing tanks.
Power Supply and Rectifier Equipment: As the power source of the electroplating process, it is responsible for converting alternating current into stable direct current and accurately regulating voltage and current parameters to meet the requirements of different processes.
Filtration and Temperature Control System: It includes plating solution filters and temperature control systems, which are used to maintain the cleanliness of the plating solution and the stability of process temperature, ensuring coating uniformity. Examples include heating or cooling equipment equipped with independent digital display temperature control devices.
Jigs and Clamping Devices: Customized according to the shape of workpieces, they are used to fix and hang workpieces, ensuring full contact between workpieces and electrolyte and avoiding plating misses or over-plating, which directly affects the uniformity of coating distribution.
Post-treatment Equipment: After electroplating, steps such as passivation, cleaning and drying are carried out to improve the corrosion resistance and appearance quality of the coating. Common equipment includes passivation tanks, drying ovens and hot water tanks.
Automation and Monitoring System: In modern plating lines, integrated PLC control systems, manipulators, barcode scanners and other devices are adopted to realize digital and intelligent management of workpiece transfer, chemical solution addition and process parameters, improving the level of production automation and consistency.
