Electroplating power supplies with extra features
|
In the electroplating process, power supplies play a critical role. While a basic power supply may provide a constant voltage or current, many advanced electroplating applications require additional features and functions to ensure better coating quality, increased efficiency, and safer operation. Here are some of the additional features and functions that are often incorporated into electroplating power supplies: While a basic power supply may provide a constant voltage or current, many advanced electroplating applications require additional features and functions to ensure better coating quality, increased efficiency, and safer operation.

Precision Plating Made Simple: Automatic Current Shut-Off - Intigrated Timer Functions
Kirchner plating rectifiers enable precise electroplating with an innovative timer function. Adjustable from 1 second to 99 hours, it ensures controlled metal deposition and consistent layer thickness. After the preset time expires, the current is automatically switched off—ideal for precious metal plating, dental applications and nickel-bonded diamond tooling.
Built-In Ampere-Hour Tracking for Smarter Plating Control
Track amp-hours per channel directly in the rectifier to maintain plating baths, optimize chemical use, improve repeatability, and keep galvanic processes stable, efficient, and well documented.
High-Precision Galvanic Power Sources for Reliable Process Control
Precise galvanic power sources deliver stable current control, consistent plating quality, and reliable performance for electroplating, anodizing, lab work, and demanding electrochemical processes.
Multiple Outputs - Coat Up to Four Parts Independently in One Bath with a Single Device
With Kirchner multi-channel rectifiers, up to four components can be plated independently in the same bath using just one device—precisely, efficiently and with maximum process control.
Automated Cathodic Protection for Safer Electroplating Results
And there is even more:
Kirchner power sources for electroplating processes can be equipped with a wide range of intelligent functions designed to make galvanic applications safer, more efficient and easier to control.
Programmable profiles allow complex current or voltage sequences to be stored and run automatically. This is ideal for electroplating processes that require different settings at different plating stages, ensuring repeatable results and greater process reliability.
Integrated over-current, over-voltage and short-circuit protection help safeguard both the power source and the workpiece. If preset limits are exceeded, the system reacts immediately by limiting or shutting down the output to prevent damage.
Temperature monitoring adds another level of safety and process stability. By keeping critical operating conditions under control, overheating can be detected early and reliability in galvanic processes can be improved.
Modern digital displays and intuitive touch screen controls provide clear real-time information such as current, voltage and operating status. This makes daily operation easier, faster and more user-friendly.
With data logging and connectivity options, important process data from galvanic applications can be recorded, exported and used for quality control, documentation and troubleshooting. Efficiency modes can further optimize power consumption according to the specific requirements of each plating process.
Together, these smart features make Kirchner power sources a powerful solution for modern electroplating and galvanic processes—combining precision, safety, efficiency and advanced process control in one reliable system.
