Lead frame plating line Meco RTR Ag

Meco Reel-to-Reel Ag Spot (RTR Ag): Meco's solution for high speed spot plating with exceptional flexibility. Meco's Solution for High Speed Spot Plating with Exceptional Flexibility Meco's internationally patented spot-wheel technology with its modular construction provides the best solution for high speed selective silverspot plating in today's market. Meco originally developed the patented spot tool system to plate leadframes on a continuous basis. This lead to a number of advantages over the traditional step and repeat plating systems. Today's leadframe market is rapidly moving towards more diversity in IC-packaging with variable spot patterns. Besides the trend towards lead-less packages (like CSP, BGA), matrix leadframes are more and more required. Meco's spot technology is well prepared to handle variable spot patterns such as single-spot, minispot, ring-spot, matrix-spot and stripes. All these diverse products can be handled with the same selective spot equipment by simple and easy exchange of the product specific spot-tooling. Meco's Spot Technology The spot wheel technology is based on a continuously moving product onto a rotating spot wheel (spot-tool) in combination with a stationary jet and integrated anode (sparger). The plating solution is pumped through the anodes and slots of the sparger on the rotating spot-tool, onto the moving product. Accurate positioning of the spots is ensured by pilot pins on the spot-tool and matching pilot holes in the leadframe. Both the spot-tool and sparger can be easily exchanged when changing to a different product set-up.
