Industrial Auto Climbing Copper Nickel Chrome Plating Line For Metal Components

Automatic Climbing Cu/Ni/Cr Plating line
This automatic climbing Cu-Ni-Cr plating line is designed for continuous copper, nickel and chrome plating of metal components requiring a durable, decorative and corrosion-resistant surface finish. The climbing transfer system automatically moves workpieces between the treatment tanks according to the preset process sequence.
The production line can integrate pretreatment, copper plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, rinsing and post-treatment processes into one automated system. PLC-controlled operation helps maintain consistent transfer timing and process conditions while reducing manual handling.
The line can be engineered according to the workpiece dimensions, production capacity, plating thickness, process requirements and available factory space.

Automation & Electrical Configuration

The line is equipped with a Mitsubishi PLC and inverter, Kunlun Tongtai touchscreen, and Omron proximity/photoelectric sensors and control components. The control cabinet features organized wiring, clear component identification, English labels, and protection against moisture and corrosion.
The system supports both automatic and manual operation, with adjustable workpiece residence time, transfer speed, and lifting speed. Program interruption recovery and power-failure memory help maintain stable operation during unexpected conditions. Emergency-stop devices are integrated for safe operation and maintenance.

Production Performance

Designed for high-volume electroplating production, the line provides straightforward operation and efficient workpiece handling. Depending on the process configuration, the cycle time can be as short as approximately 30 seconds per rack.
Key Benefits: High production efficiency, flexible process control, stable operation, and convenient maintenance.

Typical Cu-Ni-Cr Plating Process

Workpiece Loading → Degreasing → Water Rinsing → Pickling / Activation → Water Rinsing → Copper Plating → Water Rinsing → Nickel Plating → Water Rinsing → Chrome Plating → Water Rinsing → Post-Treatment → Drying → Unloading
The actual process sequence can be adjusted according to the workpiece material, required coating thickness, surface finish and production requirements.
