VM Manufacturing 10 AMP Compact Plating Machine 110V

Part # 145.385 7 In Stock Weight -- lb -- g
Current price $279.00

The VM Manufacturing 10 AMP Compact Plating Machine replaces bulky, old-style rectifiers with a palm-size unit that still delivers serious power. Weighing approximately 3/4 lb (ā‰ˆ 350 g) and measuring 5" Ɨ 3" Ɨ 1-1/2", it provides up to 10 A intermittent (8 A continuous) for batch work — capable of plating up to approximately 30 rings at a time. The unit supports bath plating, brush (selective) plating, and pen plating, and includes the brush plating attachment and pen plating attachment at no extra cost. Made in the USA by VM Manufacturing, a division of Vaniman.

Features

  • High output, tiny footprint: 10 A intermittent / 8 A continuous in a hand-held form factor.
  • Three plating modes: bath plating, brush plating, and pen plating with built-in pen connections.
  • Wide operating range: 1.5 V DC to 12 V DC with a large digital display showing voltage and amperage simultaneously.
  • Built-in protection: over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit protection for longer service life.
  • Bench friendly: light, compact, and stows in a drawer when not in use.
  • Made in the USA by VM Manufacturing (a division of Vaniman).

What's Included

  • VM 10 A compact plating machine
  • 10 A-rated plating leads (cables)
  • Brush plating attachment
  • Pen plating pen

Notes

  • On power-up, allow approximately 6–10 seconds for the unit to energize; when the display reads 1.5 V or higher, plating can begin.
  • Appropriate anodes and solutions are required for your process; bath plating solutions and pen plating solutions are sold separately.
  • Brush plating applies bath plating solution selectively to a specific area without an immersion tank — ideal for touch-ups and on-part repairs.
  • Pen plating uses a felt-tip pen to apply specialized pen plating solutions for precise highlights and spot plating.
  • Follow all chemical and electrical safety practices and wear appropriate PPE. Verify voltage and current settings for the solution and alloy in use to avoid over-plating or burning.
