What Is a Plating Dangler and When Do You Need One?
When it comes to barrel plating, choosing the right electrical contact and barrel configuration impacts quality and consistency of your finished parts. One of the most common options in barrel plating is a plating dangler, also known as a cathode dangler. But danglers aren't the right solution for every application. Depending on part geometry and mass, a floating center rod or cone strip may offer better processing performance.
At Novo Metal Finishing Equipment, we manufacture custom barrel plating equipment and components designed around the specific requirements of your operation. In this blog, we'll explain what a plating dangler is, when to use one, and how it compares with other barrel plating options.
