VIBARREL® Vibration Units

Application

Vibration systems for the electroplating of small and delicate parts

Advantages of VIBARREL technology

  • Excellent distribution of the deposit over the entire surface of the treated parts
  • Possibility of treating very delicate and fragile parts without deformation or deterioration
  • Improved exchange of electrolytic solution
  • Reduced consumption of precious metal
  • Reduced drag-out

How it works

  • The vibration unit is using a cylindrical basket, which is connected on top to an oscillating unit (axial and tangential oscillation).
  • The movement of the parts around the axis of a VIBARREL® vibration basket is always smooth.
  • A smooth movement also keeps a constant electrical contact between the parts and the cathodes at the bottom of the basket. The vibration mixes the products together. This allows a uniform deposit, without any „blind spots“ ensuring the same surface thickness for all parts.
  • The vibration movement maximizes the exchange of the chemical solution. The chemical solution can also reach the inside of very small holes.
  • The drag out of chemicals is reduced and the rinsing process will be easier.
  • The complete vibration unit can be transported  with an adapted hoist from bath to bath.
