    摘要: An electroplating cell includes a floor, ceiling, front wall, and back wall forming a box having first and second opposite open ends. A rack for supporting an article to be electroplated is removably positioned vertically to close the first open end and includes a thief laterally surrounding the article to define a cathode. An anode is positioned vertically to close the second open end, with the assembly defining a substantially closed, six-sided inner chamber for receiving an electrolyte therein for electroplating the article. The article and surrounding thief are coextensively aligned with the anode, with the floor, ceiling, front and back walls being effective for guiding electrical current flux between the cathode and the anode. In a preferred embodiment, the cell is disposed as an inner cell inside an outer cell substantially filled with the electrolyte, and a paddle is disposed inside the inner cell for agitating the electrolyte therein. The rack is removable and installable vertically upwardly which allows for automated handling thereof.

    摘要: A fixture for supporting a workpiece in a processing cell includes a frame and cooperating workpiece holder. The frame includes a head having a hole therein which receives an integral plateau of the holder. The holder plateau includes an annular seal adjacent a perimeter thereof with a vacuum port disposed therein. The workpiece rests on the seal so that vacuum drawn in the vacuum port fixedly holds the workpiece against the plateau. Assembly of the holder plateau and workpiece thereon through the frame-head hole positions the workpiece coplanar with a front side of the frame. In exemplary embodiments, independent electrical current paths are provided to the workpiece and a surrounding auxiliary electrode.
