Depending on the product and customer requirements, different methods such as the wheel or belt technique are used to apply stripes in the desired position and number on solid or stamped strips.
In the selective wheel, the strips to be plated are guided over a rotating wheel, which is immersed in an electrolyte tank. The surfaces that are not to be finished are covered with belts or fixed masking. Precisely adjustable guide rollers are used for positioning. The zones to be finished are covered on the back by a wheel support and on the front by adjustable cover belts guided over rollers or a masking. This means that no plating takes place at these points.
