Plating - Fluid Bed Electro-Plating Machine

Introduction
The Electro-Plating Machine Model FB201 is specially designed for electro-plating of surface mount electronic components, from 0402 to 1206 sizes. The patented fluid bed plating technology (U.S. Patent 6,228,230 B1) eliminates the use of media in plating of small parts. Such a feature reduces the electricity used in plating by 50% to 80% and completely eliminates the tedious work for media size control and maintenance. It also eliminates the problem of media and chip segregation that could reduce the plating uniformity. There are multiple cells in a tray. Each cell can be connected to or disconnected from the cathode. It provides the flexible for plating different lot size of chips and still maintains uniform plating conditions for each cell. The fluid agitation adopted in the plating machine provides uniform bath solution in the plating cells and results in dense and uniform metal deposit on the plated surface.
