UEDA PLATING

Rrocessing method

Barrel Plating

バレルめっき

Barrel plating involves placing products in a container called a barrel and plating them while rotating them in liquid.
It is characterized by its superior productivity compared to rack plating, as it can process large quantities at once.
Our company has introduced a system that uses barcodes to centrally manage production control and process conditions, thereby achieving stable production.

Features of barrel plating

Plating specifications and film thickness control

Cu plating, matte nickel, glossy nickel, Sn plating, and Au plating are available.

It is possible to minimize variations in film thickness.*Depends on plating thickness specifications and shape.

Deformation countermeasures

We use an underwater hopper system and take measures to prevent deformation using a drying device.

Consistent order acceptance

We offer integrated services for barrel polishing, heat treatment, and plating.

consistent quality

All conditions are set automatically, ensuring consistent quality. Plating history is also recorded.

Compatible products

Currently, 90% of our mass-produced products are for automotive use.

Other features

We can make prototypes in small quantities.

We can also handle packaging and packing.

Barrel plating quality

Barrel plating is prone to scratches, dents, and deformation because the products come into contact with each other.
