Mitsubishi Electric announced today that it has received an R&D 100 Award for an innovative one-piece-flow automatic-sliding plating machine that enables plating plants to achieve improved productivity and reduced environmental load.
Electroplating is a process that puts the target item into contact with a plating solution via an electrode, without requiring a plating bath, enabling just the contact surface to be plated while sliding by the electrode.
The award was received during the R&D 100 Awards ceremony, which took place in San Francisco, USA on December 5. To date, Mitsubishi Electric has received 26 R&D 100 Awards from R&D World.
