Brush plating requires relative motion between the anode and the part being coated. In many cases the operator does this with arm and hand motion. It is one of the skills taught in the training certification.
However there are many times when mechanical assistance can both increase productivity and quality. These tools were developed with that in mind.
The turning head is a rotating device in which small to medium size parts can be chucked up and rotated for easier plating of outside diameters and internal bore diameters. It has a Teflon coated chuck to minimize corrosion. The rotation speed can be varied to give the correct relative motion.
Available in 115 volt/50/60 Hz
Simply put, this tool was designed to replace the arm of the operator. It should be considered whenever thick deposits are to be applied. The Oscillating Arm can be used to provide a repetitive, circular or lateral motion on flat surfaces; or it can be used instead of a tool holder in conjunction with the LDC turning head to provide a lateral motion creating more uniform deposits on outside diameters (OD).
Available in 115 volt/50/60Hz or 220 volt/50/60Hz.
Designed to rotate small anodes to help the operator plate small diameter bores more efficiently. The unit can be used for plating internal diameters ranging from 0.060 to 1.5 inches (0.15-3.8 cm). This unit is especially effective in plating small blind holes. The unit's rotation speed can be controlled with a stepless dial from 0-900 RPM. This allows the operator to achieve the proper anode-to-cathode movement. The unit includes a speed controlled motor, a flexible output shaft, a special rotating handle, and adapter heads that simulate S1/8, 1/4, 1/2, SA and CF handles.
Available in 115 volts/50/60Hz or 220 volts/50/60Hz.
Specifications: approximately 0.8 amp.
