  • the invention further relates to a process for the galvanic coating of at least one substrate, which is carried out in a device designed according to the invention.
  • Galvanic coating methods are used, for example, to coat electrically conductive substrates or structured or full-area electrically conductive surfaces on non-conductive substrates. With these methods, it is possible, for example, to produce conductor tracks on printed circuit boards, RFID antennas, flat cables, thin metal foils, conductor tracks on solar cells, and to galvanically coat other products, such as two- or three-dimensional objects, for example plastic molded parts.
  • DE-B 103 42 512 discloses an apparatus and a method for the electrolytic treatment of electrically mutually insulated, electrically conductive structures on surfaces of band-shaped material to be treated.

  • a contacting electrode arranged outside of an electrolysis region, whereby negative voltages are applied to the electrically conductive structures.
  • metal ions are deposited on the electrically conductive structures from the treatment liquid to form a metal layer.
  • An electroplating apparatus in which the contacting unit is arranged in the electrolyte bath is disclosed, for example, in DE-A 102 34 705.
  • the galvanization device described here is suitable for coating structures that are already conductive and that are arranged on a band-shaped carrier.
  • the contacting takes place in this case via rollers which are in contact with the conductive structures. Since the rollers are in the electrolyte bath, metal also separates out from the electrolyte bath.
  • the rollers are made up of individual segments which are switched cathodically, as long as they are in contact with the structures to be coated and are switched anodically, if there is no contact of roller and electrically conductive structure.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device which ensures a sufficiently long contact time even for short structures, so that even short structures can be provided with a sufficiently thick metal layer.
  • a device for electroplating at least one electrically conductive substrate or a structured or full-surface electrically conductive surface on a non-conductive substrate which comprises at least one bath, an anode and a cathode, wherein the bath is at least one metal salt contains containing electrolyte solution. From the electrolytic solution, metal ions are deposited on electrically conductive surfaces of the substrate to form a metal layer.
  • the at least one cathode is brought into contact with the surface of the substrate to be coated, while the substrate is conveyed through the bath.
  • the at least one cathode comprises at least one band with at least one electrically conductive section, which is guided around at least two rotatable shafts.
  • the waves are carried out with a suitable, matched to the respective substrate cross-section.
  • the waves are cylindrically shaped and may for example be provided with grooves in which the at least one band runs.
  • the shaft is designed such that the current is transmitted from the surface of the shaft to the band.
  • the shafts are provided with grooves in which the at least one belt runs, the substrate can be contacted simultaneously via the shafts and the belt.
  • the grooves can be electrically conductive and the regions of the waves between the grooves can be made of an insulating material in order to avoid that the substrate is also electrically contacted via the waves.
  • the shaft is supplied with power via slip rings, for example, but it is also possible to use any other suitable device with which current can be transmitted to rotating shafts.
  • the cathode comprises at least one band with at least one electrically conductive portion, even substrates with short electrically conductive structures, especially in the transport direction of the substrate, can be provided with a sufficiently thick coating. This is possible since, according to the invention, by the design of the cathode as a band, even short electrically conductive structures are in contact with the cathode for a longer time than is the case with the methods known from the prior art.
  • At least two bands are arranged offset one behind the other.
  • the arrangement is preferably such that the second band arranged behind the first band contacts the electrically conductive structure in the region on which the metal was deposited during the contacting with the first band.

  • bands are each arranged independently on waves, individual bands together with their waves can each be lifted from the substrate and anodically switched, while at the same time bands arranged upstream or downstream of the raised bands guide the substrate and the electrically conductive structures located thereon.
  • the metal deposited on the bands and shafts can only be released while removing production interruptions.
  • the at least one band has a network structure.
  • the advantage of the network structure is that in each case only small areas of the electrically conductive structures to be coated on the substrate are covered by the band. The coating takes place in the holes of the net.
  • the bands are designed in the form of a network structure to arrange at least two bands one behind the other. It is also possible to connect two bands formed as nets directly one behind the other, the nets then each having different mesh sizes and / or different mesh shapes to coat also the areas in which the front net rests.

  • the width of the tapes depends on the production options. The narrower the bands can be formed, the smaller the conductive structures can be coated.
  • An advantage of narrow bands with small distances from one another is that the contact probability of the smallest structures is thereby greater than with a smaller number of broad bands. Since the contact surface of the bands by covering the structures just below the band inhibits the deposition, it is advantageous to minimize this coverage effect by narrow bands.
  • the electrolyte purging of the surfaces to be metallized becomes more uniform by a multiplicity of smaller surface accesses than in the case of a few surface accesses, such as are present in a small number of wide bands.
  • the number of juxtaposed bands depends on the width of the substrate. The wider the substrate to be coated, the more ribbons must be placed side by side.

  • band bands with alternating conductive and non-conductive sections for example, link bands can be used, in which the individual members are fastened to each other, for example by means of clamps. According to the required length of the conductive portions, a corresponding number of electrically conductive members are mounted one behind the other. In order to produce a non-electrically conductive portion, at least one non-conductive member is inserted between two electrically conductive members. In addition to the structure as a link chain, it is also possible to provide at least one electrically non-conductive, flexible band as a carrier, which at predetermined intervals against each other electrically insulated mounted electrically conductive sections.
  • a conductive material are here, for example, wire or films, with which the carrier is wrapped or flexible or rigid films, which may for example be in the form of a network or holes may have, which are connected to the carrier.
  • the connection with the carrier can be done for example by gluing.
  • a plurality of carriers may be arranged side by side, which are interconnected by common conductive portions. Between the individual carriers, a gap is preferably formed in this case.
