Used EEJA / ELECTROPLATING ENGINEERS OF JAPAN Cup-Plater #293605801 for sale

EEJA / ELECTROPLATING ENGINEERS OF JAPAN Cup-Plater is an advanced photoresist system developed by EEJA for developing extremely precise electroplating profiles. The system works by applying a photoresist material onto the desired profile, then exposing it to controlled ultraviolet light at the required intensity. The exposed areas of the photoresist material then become hardened and the non-exposed areas remain malleable and become protected from the corrosive elements of the electroplating bath. Using a combination of a thin film of photoresist material and the extremely high-powered UV light, EEJA Cup-Plater is capable of creating an exact replica of the design that is plated. The hardened textured photoresist along with its corrosion-resistant properties allows it to faithfully replicate intricate designs as they are laid out in the photolithography process. The photolithography process consists of several steps starting with the creation of a photomask which is used to determine the shape and pattern of the design that will be plated. Next the photoresist material is laid down over the photomask and the laser light source is fired up, this will determine the exact shape that will be plated. Once the light source has been fired up, the unexposed areas of the photoresist will become hardened and protected so that the desired design can now be plated. To begin the electroplating process, the hardened photoresist design is carefully laid over the base material and then exposed to the electrolyte solution. This will cause a build-up of metal around the edges of the hardened photoresist and a concave shape will start to form. Once the desired shape is achieved, the photoresist is then dissolved away with a solvent and the finished product is ready. ELECTROPLATING ENGINEERS OF JAPAN CUP PLATER is an ideal choice for those who need to create fine, intricate designs and require a corrosion-resistant finish. The photolithography process and the hardening of the photoresist material allow for precise, exact designs to be plated onto various materials. It is a great tool for those who need to frequently change the profile of an electroplated design or who require a corrosion-resistant, long lasting finish.
