Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the selective galvanic coating of metal surfaces, in particular smooth, flat-stamped or form-stamped metal strips, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a system for carrying out this method.
- connectors, touching or rubbing contacts and lead frames are made from metal strips of the type mentioned, the basic material, such as E-copper, bronze, brass, nickel silver, iron alloys to achieve the desired good surface properties, such as good contact, bondability, solderability, wear and corrosion resistance, is electroplated.
- the coating may only be applied as a strip or spot at selected points on the surface, whereby all geometrical figures are possible.
- a high selectivity with high precision of the edge limitation of the selectively coated surfaces is required when applying such coatings.
- Selective galvanic coatings can be produced by a whole series of different methods, in which the surface areas which are not to be coated are usually initially covered by a suitable masking and the non-masked areas are then galvanically coated. Only in the simplest selective coating process is the metal electroplated around the edges, even without masking, by controlled partial immersion in a suitable electrolyte. With this simple coating process, however, no stripes or spots can be produced on the surface.
- endless movable masking tapes made of rubber or another plastic are pressed firmly onto the surface areas that are not to be coated and then only the areas that remain free are galvanically coated.
- the selective systems can be designed in wheel form with wheels that can be arranged standing or lying. However, you can also be designed as a straight or curved flow cell (rainbow cell). However, the achievable precision of more than 0.1 mm is generally not sufficient, especially for semiconductor technology.
- a special form of this coating process is the so-called MYLAR process, in which a thin Mylar film is pressed onto the metal strip as a mask for the surface areas that are not to be coated, and can be reused for a limited time after the coating process.
- MYLAR process in which a thin Mylar film is pressed onto the metal strip as a mask for the surface areas that are not to be coated, and can be reused for a limited time after the coating process.
- a rubber or plastic mask is also used in the stop-and-repeat process (spot coating).
- spot coating In contrast to the movable masking method, however, a standing mask is opened to draw in a metal band. The mask is then closed and pressed firmly onto the retracted, resting metal band. After the galvanic coating has been carried out with the appropriate coating duration, the mask is opened again and a still uncoated new piece of metal strip is drawn in for coating.
- This process works quasi-continuously, since the metal strip in front of and behind the so-called spot cell runs continuously into and out of a memory. However, only low belt speeds can be achieved, which means that economical electroplating is often questioned.
- the desired high precision of 0.1 mm can be achieved with gold and silver, but tin and tin-lead coatings can often not be produced with the desired precision.
- the metal strip to be coated is pressed onto a porous non-conductor that absorbs an electrolyte and an insoluble anode sits on the opposite side.
- the galvanic coating is only carried out at the point that comes into contact with the porous non-conductor. Edges and stamped metal surfaces can be coated particularly well. Spots and stripes in the middle of a smooth, flat metal strip are not possible, or stripes cannot be achieved with the desired selectivity.
- the brush coating process is used particularly in the connector area.
- a masking tape is stuck onto the metal surface as masking, which is then peeled off and discarded after the galvanic coating of the remaining surface areas.
- the achievable precision in the edge area of the coating is approximately 0.1 mm. The procedure is however not only extremely expensive but also produces hazardous waste that has to be disposed of. It is also only applicable to flat, smooth belts.
- the laser-assisted coating should also be mentioned, which is, however, still technologically insignificant.
- this method enables contactless work with precision in the micrometer range and highest deposition rates, a technical application has so far failed because the completely new electrolytes required for this technology are not available. In addition, there are still not enough powerful solid-state lasers.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved, novel, simple, flexible and inexpensive coating method for metal surfaces, in particular smooth, flat-stamped or form-stamped metal strips, which not only enables high coating or high strip speeds but also high selectivity at high speeds Precision of the boundary of the selectively coated surfaces is marked.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in a generic coating method in that the surface areas which are not to be coated are masked by contactless application of a liquid dielectric with a contour sharpness of in particular less than or equal to 80 micrometers.
- a liquid dielectric with a contour sharpness of in particular less than or equal to 80 micrometers.
- desired masking layers of almost any shape can be applied very quickly and extremely precisely at low cost.

- droplet application rates are used which are so high that flat maskings can be produced.
- the droplet application rates here are preferably approximately 40,000-60,000 droplets per minute, but in particular approximately 50,000 droplets per minute.
- the dielectric can be applied discontinuously in at least one continuous uninterrupted strip or in a controlled manner.
- the dielectric In order to dry the applied dielectric more quickly, the dielectric is briefly exposed to an elevated temperature of less than 200 degrees Celsius. To avoid possible contamination, components that are released are sucked off when the dielectric dries.
- a quick-drying dielectric is used, which dries on the metal surface within seconds.
- the dielectric used is also abrasion-resistant and resistant for at least several minutes in acids, alkalis and complexing electrolytes and when the current flows through the metal. These requirements are met in particular by a pigment-free ink containing MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).
- the dielectric is sprayed or sprayed onto the metal surface to be coated, which is inclined at a certain angle of preferably 1-10 degrees with respect to the normal to the metal surface. It can be moved parallel to the metal surface with a high precision of preferably less than 50 micrometers. When the dielectric is applied, it is positioned from the top down to the metal surface. If necessary, spraying or spraying devices with several spraying or spraying heads arranged next to and / or behind one another can also be used.
- the spraying or spraying device is interrupted as part of a self-check and the coating process is interrupted, the spraying or Automatically move the spray device to compensate for an interim metal movement at least to the point of exposure in order to achieve an uninterrupted application of strips.
- the speed of the metal is determined and transmitted to an associated control device, which also receives signals from the spraying or spraying device at the beginning and at the end of a self-check. From the speed and the known duration of the self-check or the interruption of the dielectric application, the feed of the metal or the path length of the non-coated surface area is then determined and the spraying or spraying device travels back accordingly in order to achieve an uninterrupted strip.
- the metal in the case of a fixed spraying or spraying device, can also be moved back by a rocking device.
