Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the electrolytic coating of a structured or full-surface base layer (9) on a surface of a substrate (7), which comprises at least one electrolyte bath (3) having at least one rotatably mounted roller (2) connectable as a cathode, which contacts the base layer (9) during the electrolytic coating, the base layer (9) being covered by an electrolyte solution (5) contained in the electrolyte bath (3) and being moved relative to the at least one roller (2) during the coating. The at least one roller (2) connectable as a cathode is connected cathodically during the contact with the base layer (9) and is connected neutrally or anodically as soon as there is no contact with the base layer (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the electrolytic coating of at least one electrically conductive substrate or a structured or full-surface electrically conductive surface on a nonconductive substrate, which comprises at least one bath, one anode and one cathode, the bath containing an electrolyte solution containing at least one metal salt, from which metal ions are deposited on electrically conductive surfaces of the substrate to form a metal layer while the cathode is brought in contact with the substrate's surface to be coated and the substrate is transported through the bath, wherein the cathode comprises at least two disks (2, 4, 10) mounted on a respective shaft (1, 5, 14) so that they can rotate, the disks (2, 4, 10) engaging in one another. The invention furthermore relates to a method for the electrolytic coating of at least one substrate, which is carried out in a device according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the electrolytic coating of at least one electrically conductive substrate (8) or a structured or full-surface electrically conductive surface on a nonconductive substrate (8), which comprises at least one bath, one anode and one cathode (1), the bath containing an electrolyte solution containing at least one metal salt, from which metal ions are deposited on electrically conductive surfaces of the substrate to form a metal layer while the cathode is brought in contact with the surface to be coated of the substrate and the substrate is transported through the bath. The cathode comprises at least one band (2) having at least one electrically conductive section (12), which is guided around at least two rotatable shafts (3).

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of etching an etch material consisting at least partly of metal and an arrangement for implementing that method.According to the invention, the etchant is applied through jet assemblies arranged perpendicularly to each other on the top and the bottom side of the etch material. During the passage of the etch material, the spray pressure at the jet assemblies or the jets may be set to constant values and/or be individually controlled as a function of the quantity of metal to be etched off the top and the bottom side. The invention is particularly suitable for etching circuit boards, whose conductors on the top and the bottom side are arranged perpendicularly to each other.
