Overview

Meco Reel-to-Reel Ag Spot (RTR Ag): Meco's solution for high speed spot plating with exceptional flexibility. Meco's spot technology makes high plating speeds possible (roughly 3 times faster than for step and repeat systems). Because the leadframe moves continuously around and engages with the spot-tool, there is no "dead" time as seen in the step and repeat system. For high-speed silver spot plating you can reach up to 156 micron per minute based on 250 A/dm2, depending on spot configuration. In most high-speed silver spot lines with line speeds up to 12 m/min a tandem spot unit is sufficient to reach the common silver specification of 4 microns.
