EQUIPMENT SELECTION, AUTOMATION, AND ENGINEERING FOR PLATING SYSTEMS

摘要

1. Selection and engineering of a plating system begins with a description of the objectives and a list of constraints. Individual approaches cannot be judged except in the context of fitness-to-purpose. 2. Dedicated purpose machines are available for plating certain specific high volume items. 3. For more general purpose work, programmed hoists (noted for flexibility) and return-type automatics (noted for productivity) are often employed. 4. Design conflicts and questions of priority can be best managed by designing from the top down rather than from the details up.
