Our equipment features sophisticated material handling, precise chemical management, and advanced process control, enabling superior coating adhesion, excellent electrical properties, and cost-effective use of precious metals. Partner with Raymond for a high-performance reel-to-reel plating solution that optimizes your production efficiency, enhances product quality, and strengthens your competitive position in the global market.

Core Advantages of Raymond Reel-to-Reel Continuous Plating Equipment Lines

  • Unmatched Plating Uniformity: Advanced tension control and optimized plating cell designs ensure consistent coating thickness and composition across the entire length and width of the continuous strip, critical for high-precision applications.
  • High-Speed, High-Volume Production: Engineered for continuous, high-speed operation, significantly increasing throughput and reducing processing time compared to traditional batch methods, ideal for mass production.
  • Precise Selective Plating: Our systems offer advanced selective plating capabilities, allowing for the precise deposition of precious metals only on designated areas, dramatically reducing material costs and environmental impact.
  • Automated Material Handling: Fully automated unwinding, feeding, and rewinding systems minimize manual intervention, reduce labor costs, prevent material damage, and ensure smooth, uninterrupted production.
  • Superior Adhesion and Durability: Optimized pre-treatment and plating processes ensure strong adhesion of the metallic layer, providing long-lasting performance, corrosion resistance, and enhanced electrical conductivity.
  • Advanced Process Control: Integrated PLC and HMI systems provide real-time monitoring and precise control of all critical plating parameters, including current density, temperature, chemical concentration, and strip speed.
  • Versatile Application: Capable of plating various metals (e.g., gold, silver, palladium, nickel, tin, copper) onto a wide range of strip materials, accommodating diverse industrial requirements.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Incorporates efficient chemical recovery, wastewater treatment, and fume extraction systems to minimize environmental impact and ensure compliance with stringent regulations.

Process Flow

The Raymond Reel-to-Reel Continuous Plating Equipment Line follows a meticulously controlled, multi-stage process to ensure high-quality and consistent plating on continuous strip materials.

1

Unwinding & Pre-treatment

The raw material strip (e.g., lead frames, connectors) is unwound from a reel and fed into the line. It then undergoes a series of cleaning and surface preparation steps, including degreasing, rinsing, and activation, to ensure optimal adhesion of the plated layer.

2

Electroplating Sections

The strip passes through various plating cells, where the desired metal is electrodeposited. Our systems can be configured for overall plating or precise selective plating, where only specific areas of the strip are plated using advanced masking or localized deposition techniques. Parameters like current density, electrolyte composition, and temperature are meticulously controlled.

3

Multi-Stage Rinsing & Post-treatment

After plating, the strip undergoes thorough multi-stage rinsing to remove any residual chemicals and prevent contamination. Depending on the application, post-treatment processes such as passivation, drying, or anti-tarnish treatments may be applied.

4

Drying & Rewinding

The processed and treated strip is then efficiently dried using hot air or infrared systems. Finally, it is precisely rewound onto a finished reel, ready for subsequent manufacturing steps or direct use in assembly.
