An electroplating device includes a conduit extending from a first end to a second end. The conduit is configured to house an object for electroplating. A first set of apertures is formed on a surface of the conduit. Each of the first set of apertures has a first size. A second set of apertures is formed on the surface of the conduit adjacent the first set of apertures. Each of the second set of apertures has a second size. The first set of apertures are configured to be in alignment with a first continuous section of the object and transfer fluid to the first continuous section of the object at a first rate. The second set of apertures are configured to be in alignment with a second continuous section of the object and transfer fluid to the second continuous section of the object at a second rate.

Electroplating shield device and methods of fabricating the same

Systems and methods for automated electroplating are disclosed. An electroplating system includes a first chamber configured to receive one or more parts. The first chamber includes a vessel extending from a first end to a second end, a first cap proximate to the first end a first cathode contact coupled to the first end, a second cathode contact coupled to the second end, and a plurality of anodes formed on an inner surface of the vessel. The electroplating system further includes at least one reservoir and a first conduit and a second conduit each coupled between the at least one reservoir and the first chamber. The first conduit may be configured to transfer fluid from the first reservoir to the first chamber and the second conduit may be configured to transfer fluid from the first chamber to the at least one reservoir.

Systems and methods for enclosed electroplating chambers

Systems for masking and sealing a component for surface treatment. A system includes a pair of fixture plates disposed on opposite ends of the component from each other. One or more inner sleeves are inserted into the component to mask and seal at least a portion of the component. An outer sleeve extends between the fixture plates to seal outside of the component. A pair of fixture rods extend between the first and second fixture plates and couple the first and second fixture plates together. The system is configured to effect surface treatment of an exposed area of the component, at least a portion of the exposed area defined by and disposed adjacent to the one or more inner sleeves.

Masking and sealing system for multi-step surface treatment

A high vibration, high-cycle, pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid actuated valve assembly includes a valve housing and a solenoid actuator. The solenoid actuator is coupled to the valve housing and includes a solenoid housing, a bobbin assembly, a coil, an armature, a glide structure, an actuation rod, and an anti-rotation guide structure. The glide structure is disposed at least partially within the armature and between the armature and the inner surface of the yoke. The actuation rod is coupled to, and is axially movable with, the armature, it also extends into the valve housing and has a ball valve integrally formed thereon. The anti-rotation guide structure is disposed within the valve housing and surrounds at least a portion of the actuation rod. At least the actuation rod and the anti-rotation guide each have structural features formed thereon that mate with each other and prevent rotation of the actuation rod and the armature.
