  • Publication number: 20240003039
    Abstract: A film plating machine and electroplating production line are provided. The film plating machine has a plating solution tank, conductive substrate film conveying devices and a power supply. A plating solution and an anode member are provided in the plating solution tank. The conductive substrate film conveying devices are provided at both sides of the plating solution tank and configured to clamp two opposite side edges of a horizontally-placed conductive substrate film and drive the conductive substrate film to horizontally enter and exit the plating solution tank in a first direction. A positive electrode of the power supply is electrically connected with the anode member, and a negative electrode of the power supply is electrically connected with the conductive substrate film through the conductive substrate film conveying devices.
