PTH2030 and the PTH3040 are a universal series of electroplating equipment for the chemical or electrochemical deposition of metals and are used for production of printed Plated Through Hole circuit boards in vertical technology for prototype and small batch production.
The PTH2030 and PTH3040 were designed specifically for the needs of direct metalliza-tion and have tanks for the processing steps of cleaning, pre-dip, activating, accelerating (intensify-ing) and copper plating. In addition, the machines have an additional tank, that you do not need for our PTH-system but possibly for other chemical systems.
We offer the machine by default as PTH2030 for panel sizes of 210 x 300mm2 with one gal-vanic tank and as PTH3040 for a panel size of 300 x 400 mm2 with one galvanic tank.
Two treatment tanks are equipped with Titanium heaters and thermostatically controlled. The plating tank has an integrated air injection. The cathode rods are driven by a push rod with a DC gear motor. The stroke speed can be continuously adjusted.
Each plating tank is associated with one continuously variable rectifier. For each tank a voltmeter and an ammeter provide information about the electrical ratings. Since the rinsing process is of par-ticular significance, the machine is equipped with a rinsing tank behind each treatment bath. These can be cleaned through an overflow with an rinse water treatment plant AquaPur. The process baths used are based on the proven technology of palladium (direct metallization using palladium as a catalyst).
