Meeting Productivity Demand through Automation of Selective Plating

Selective plating is a method of electroplating localized areas without the use of immersion tanks. The advancements in automated selective plating incorporate options for total customization to the customer’s specific application. To illustrate this, data, video and pictures of a vertical, dual- spindled automated ID plating machine will be presented. By working with the customer, custom plating machines can be developed to reduce operator set-up time, part handling, and even number of applications – effectively achieving betting lead times and meeting production schedules. This presentation will demonstrate how attendees can achieve consistent quality and process repeatability by incorporating automated selective plating into their process.
