A Plating Workshop

 

Using some ingenuity and our products, this customer built himself an excellent electroplating workshop.

First image shows the control panel mounted on the side of the cabinet.

  • The top black pull switch is the main. Since it is also illuminated, it draws .020 amps.
  • Next to it is the white knob, that's the old style heater switch we were talking about. It controls the speed of the blower motor mounted above the panel (another illustration)
  • A second pull switch, also illuminated, powers 3 toggle switches which in turn power up the light bulbs, obviously 3 seperate circuits.
  • Below is the yellow amp meter, digital read out, $ 4.99 from Harbor Tolls ( on sale )

First Image

Second image is the left side of cabinet. I went from left to right:

  • cleaning solution empty ( will use for rinse or de-plating pickle)
  • copper
  • nickel
  • chrome

Second Image

Other end of cabinet. Note power lines running full length, control panel on left and if you look above control panel, you can see the blower motor. Also have an additional shelf with 48" shop light mounted underneath.

Third Picture

This shows close-up of power lines and air distribution valve to copper and nickel tank.

Fourth Picture

This shows further to the right. This is a pull switch, again illuminated, and to the right the black hole is a 12 volt accesory plug. This is for two immersion heaters, the 12 volt automotive type for heating the nickel and chrome solutions. These have a seperate power source, 2 12 volt batteries coupled together.
