Abstract
Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for a battery powered electroplating barrel and methods of use.
Claims11
A method of uniformly coating a plating thickness to work pieces in an electroplating barrel, comprising the step of:
- a. providing a battery operably coupled to an electrical switch;
- b. outputting DC current at a first voltage from the battery to a DC-DC voltage regulator;
- c. adjusting the first voltage from the battery to a second voltage at the DC-DC voltage regulator;
- d. outputting the second voltage from the DC-DC voltage regulator to a motor, thereby operating the motor at a constant speed;
- e. coupling the motor's output to an electroplating barrel thereby rotating the electroplating barrel at a uniform rotational rate for the entire time duration of an electroplating thereby imparting uniformity of plating thickness to the work pieces in the electroplating process barrel;
- and
- f. displaying the first voltage from the battery on a display during the entire time duration of the electroplating process.
