The SBE electroplating machine is designed specifically for processing small parts. It excels in plating parts whose configuration creates nesting or lack of uniformity such as coverage in blind holes and where sharp points get trapped in barrel meshes.

Other Plating Techniques

At Spec Plating we offer a variety of other plating techniques. The most common are barrel and racking methods. Barrel plating compliments high volume production parts that are able to have part-to-part contact

.

Many of the parts processed at Spec Plating run on racks or by using wire wrapping. There is no part-to-part contact with these two options. This works well for parts where appearance and surface uniformity are critical. Racks vary in size to accommodate various part configurations. Custom racks are also available to meet specific customer needs.

Vibratory barrel plating is also employed to accommodate very delicate parts and part configurations that may not lend themselves to more traditional techniques.

Beaker plating is employed for smaller quantities of extremely small parts. Parts as small as .002 in. diameter and .062 in. long are plated using this method.
