ABC Copper Plate System

MAIN FEATURES

  • Only 4 Process Functions, plus plating.
  • Wide window of operation.
  • Specially developed ABC Chemistry already being used by European PCB Manufacturers.
  • None of the nasty chemicals associated with other plating systems, (e.g. no Formaldehyde).
  • Line time less than one hour - half that of other systems. Stable chemistry even when used irregularly.
  • Minimum analysis - mostly done by replenishment (no specialist opera
    tor required).
  • Very compact equipment - ideal for use where space is limited.
  • Solid state controls, dual current output - plating timer - re-settable amp/hour counter.

Mega’s ABC Plating Lines are for the production of high quality Prototype and Production quantities of Plated Through Hole boards. The process has none of the complexities of older style methods of production which are both time consuming and require expensive monitoring of processes on a daily basis. The heart of the system is our patented chemistry which has only four processes to prepare a panel to be electrolytically plated. Analysis of the chemistry is minimal, and so simple is the chemistry, we call it ABC. The Plating Lines feature electrolytic plating power supplies with controllers with membrane touch pad and digital read out meters to set volts, current, plating time and amp hours.

The exact method of producing a Through Hole Plated Board is via PANEL PLATING and this is described in detail on our web site. In essence it involves drilling a blank PCB laminate, plating theholes with Copper and using Dry Film Laminate image the circuit and cover the holes to protect them from the etchant. A Dry Film Laminator and CNC drill are essential pieces of equipment for this process.
