Core Advantages of Raymond Vertical Lifting Hanging Plating Lines
Superior Coating Uniformity on Complex Geometries: The vertical lifting mechanism ensures that even the most intricate parts with deep recesses and complex shapes are plated evenly. The precise, computer-controlled movement minimizes the "Faraday cage" effect, guaranteeing uniform coating thickness across the entire surface.
Enhanced Production Flexibility and Versatility: Our lines are designed to accommodate a wide variety of workpiece sizes, weights, and shapes. The programmable process sequences allow for quick and easy changeovers between different plating recipes, making it ideal for both high-volume, single-product manufacturing and high-mix, low-volume job shops.
Intelligent Automation and Process Control: Featuring a state-of-the-art PLC system and an intuitive HMI touchscreen, the entire plating process is automated. Real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as temperature, pH, current density, and plating time ensures absolute process stability and repeatability, eliminating human error and guaranteeing consistent quality.
Optimized Throughput and Efficiency: The vertical design maximizes the use of vertical space, allowing for a more compact footprint compared to traditional horizontal lines. The automated transport system ensures a smooth, continuous workflow, minimizing idle time and maximizing productivity.
Reduced Risk of Part Damage: The gentle, controlled lifting and lowering of workpieces by the automated hoist system prevents the scratches, dents, and other physical damage often associated with manual handling, ensuring the integrity of your valuable components.
Improved Operator Safety and Ergonomics: By automating the entire process, from loading and unloading to chemical handling, our vertical lifting lines significantly reduce operator exposure to hazardous chemicals and heavy lifting, creating a safer and more ergonomic working environment.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Operation: The system is designed for optimal resource efficiency. Features like multi-stage counter-flow rinsing, chemical recovery systems, and enclosed process tanks with integrated fume extraction minimize water consumption, reduce chemical waste, and ensure compliance with the strictest environmental regulations.

Process Flow

The Raymond Vertical Lifting Hanging Plating Equipment Line executes a meticulously controlled, multi-stage process to achieve flawless and durable coatings. Each stage is fully automated and monitored to ensure optimal results.

Automated Loading & Pre-Treatment

Workpieces are loaded onto custom-designed racks. The automated hoist system then transports them through a series of pre-treatment tanks, including ultrasonic cleaning, alkaline degreasing, acid pickling, and multiple rinses, to prepare a chemically clean and active surface for plating.

Precision Electroplating

The racks are immersed in the designated electroplating tanks. The system's intelligent rectifier control delivers a precise, pre-programmed current density, while sensors continuously monitor and adjust bath temperature, pH, and agitation. The vertical movement can be programmed to include oscillation or rotation, further enhancing coating uniformity on complex parts.

Post-Plating Treatments

After plating, the workpieces are moved through a series of post-treatment steps, such as drag-out recovery rinses, passivation, anti-tarnish application, or sealing. These steps are crucial for enhancing corrosion resistance, improving appearance, and ensuring the long-term stability of the plated finish.

Drying, Unloading & Inspection

Finally, the plated parts are transported to a high-efficiency drying station, which may use hot air, infrared, or other methods to ensure they are completely dry. The automated system then delivers the finished parts to the unloading station for inspection and packaging. The entire process is logged for complete traceability.

Vertical lifting electroplating line is very different from ordinary electroplating line structure, the traverse and lifting of the workpiece is no longer for a single tank, but the whole line of the pendant and the workpiece at the same time, the single tank of the workpiece in the rise, traverse, descent into the next tank, plating tanks and a number of potion tanks of the workpiece in the tanks for the continuous movement, without lifting and lowering. The traverse of the workpiece is realized by the motor-driven chain, the chain pulls the track, and the lifting of the workpiece is also realized by the motor-driven chain, the chain drives the lifting platform, which holds the slider, the boom, the hangers and the workpiece for up and down movement, all the movements and safety protection are controlled by the inductor, and through certain settings, it is possible to realize the workpiece with multiple sets of programs, air drops, jumping troughs, descending to a high level and other special requirements.

Vertical lifting plating line is applicable to a wide range of products, mainly used for a variety of small parts, large output, a single process, including plastic plating, to achieve nickel-chrome plating, copper plating, ABS copper-nickel-chrome and other plating requirements.
