Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method of applying a coating on a workpiece by electrodeposition. A vessel is provided that is suitable for filling with a bath of electrolyte, anode-forming conductor means being placed in the vessel and connected to a current generator, a cathode-forming workpiece mounted on the mandrel of a lathe, and guidance and movement means for guiding and moving the vessel relative to the lathe, the guidance and movement means enabling the workpiece to be immersed in full or in part in the bath of electrolyte.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method of applying a coating on a workpiece by electrodeposition. In the method, a workpiece is mounted on the mandrel of a lathe. A vessel, connected to a current generator and containing a bath of electrolyte and a conductor forming an anode, is placed beneath the workpiece. All or part of the workpiece is immersed in the bath by moving the vessel into a first position. The workpiece is turned by the lathe so that the entire surface of the workpiece is immersed at least once in the bath while a material is electrodeposited on the workpiece. The vessel is moved into a second position to break contact between the workpiece and the bath of electrolyte.
