Reel-to-Reel Plating Method of Electroplating
Klein Plating Works (KPW) offers the reel-to-reel plating method of electroplating. The reel-to-reel plating method is an efficient and economical process which allows for select deposits of metal. This reel-to-reel plating process can plate strips of manufactured products or reels of raw material before they are stamped into parts.
This starts by loading the reels onto a de-reeling station. Then by using a capstan system, the product is fed through various electroplating processes. At the end of the line is a take-up system which re-spools the material once the appropriate metal finish is achieved. Multiple reels can run with the use of an accumulator which facilitates a smooth transition between them.
