Ni 240 Electroless Nickel Controller

The Model 240 is an easily used, automatic controller for electroless nickel plating baths. The controller continuously monitors the bath's nickel concentration and makes additions of nickel and hypophosphite replenishers to keep the bath's strength within very close limits with a minimum of operator assistance. The bath concentration is also continuously updated on a LCD display screen. The controller may be adapted for use with most electroless nickel solutions. Because its colorimeter can be calibrated over a range of concentrations, it is very accurate and stable. The Model 240 contains a custom designed, microprocessor to allow close control and maximum flexibility. It is very user friendly. It prompts the operator to enter any required information through a menu selection process. Its set point and addition pump pumping time are easily changed to account for changes in bath chemistry or operation. The Model 240 can improve the efficiency of the electroless nickel process, while reducing its operating cost. With its state-of-the-art design, it keeps the solution's operating parameters near optimum and provides a higher plating rate through the life of the bath. More consistent operation also reduces chemical consumption and cost and can improve the quality of the electroless nickel deposit. In addition, automatic control reduces the labor needed for titrations and replenishments, and allows the operator more time to plate parts.

The Model 240 offers both one point and two point calibration and an adjustable pumping time. Its simple operation and low cost make the Model 240 the perfect choice for many electroless nickel facilities.
