Product Introduction
Our PCB electroplating cathode flying target is manufactured with 99.99% ETP electrolytic pure copper as main conductive body, matched with titanium alloy clamping clips, insulated PP/PVC baffle accessories, fully compliant with IPC electroplating equipment standards. It is the core cathode conductive fixture for VCP vertical continuous plating line, gantry batch plating line, used to suspend PCB boards, conduct cathode current and drive boards to swing reciprocally in plating bath to improve copper thickness uniformity and hole throwing power.
Different from all types of inert anode plates (Ru-Ti, Ir-Ta, Pt, PbO₂, MnO₂, lead alloy, steel anode), flying target belongs to cathode conductive fixture rather than electrolytic anode. It bears negative current to make PCB surface deposit copper layer, requires ultra-low resistance, excellent ductility and acid corrosion resistance to avoid voltage drop and uneven plating thickness. Adopt integrated CNC precision machining + argon arc full welding process, seamless connection between flying target head and conductive crossbeam, eliminate contact resistance dead zone. Surface passivation anti-oxidation treatment, long-term immersion in acidic copper plating bath without rapid oxidation and copper powder shedding. Stable service life reaches 2–5 years under 24h continuous VCP production condition. Support full customization of length, width, board holding quantity, clip spacing and conductive target size according to customer plating tank internal dimensions. We have over 10 years experience producing PCB electroplating flying targets, compatible with mainstream brands VCP equipment: JET, KINWA, MEC, EVERITECH, widely supplied to HDI, FPC, rigid PCB manufacturing factories worldwide.

Core Product Advantages
99.99% ETP pure copper main body, ultra-low resistance & uniform current output High-purity electrolytic copper has the best electrical conductivity among industrial metals, greatly reduce line voltage drop during high-current electroplating, ensure consistent current on each suspended PCB, effectively improve copper thickness tolerance within ±8% and enhance hole throwing power for high aspect ratio blind vias. CNC one-piece forming without splicing gaps, avoid local overheating and poor plating uniformity.
Titanium alloy clamping clip, acid-resistant & no secondary impurity pollution Titanium clip is non-magnetic, resistant to sulfuric acid, copper sulfate acidic plating solution, no iron/nickel metal ion dissolution polluting bath liquid. Elastic clamping design firmly locks thin FR4, ultra-thin FPC without board warping or falling off during reciprocating swing in plating tank. Detachable clip structure convenient for later maintenance and replacement.
Integrated full argon arc welding + passivation anti-oxidation craft All copper conductive joints adopt full argon arc deep penetration welding, zero gap contact to cut contact resistance; whole copper surface undergoes chromate-free passivation treatment, slow down oxidation and copper powder generation in long-term acidic environment, reduce bath liquid impurity replacement frequency and production cost.
Full size OEM customization, universal compatibility with mainstream VCP equipment Support custom flying target length, height, clip spacing, number of PCB clamps, conductive target thickness according to customer tank size and production capacity demand. Perfect interchangeable with JET, KINWA, MEC, EVERITECH and other well-known VCP machine brands, no modification required for on-site installation.
Application Scenarios
This ETP pure copper cathode flying target is the essential conductive fixture for automatic vertical continuous PCB copper plating production line.

Professional Consultation Q&A
Q1: What is the core difference between PCB Cathode Flying Target and various electroplating anode plates (Ru-Ti / Ir-Ta / Pt / PbO₂ / MnO₂ / Lead Alloy / Steel Based)?
A1: Flying target is cathode conductive suspension jig (negative pole), function is to carry PCB and transmit cathode current, material is high-purity copper with ultra-high conductivity; all anode plates are positive electrolytic electrode, used to generate oxidation reaction in plating bath, coated titanium/lead/steel substrate with different catalytic coatings, core function is electrolytic reaction, completely different product category and working principle.
Q2: Why choose ETP pure copper instead of brass or stainless steel for flying target main body?
A2: Brass contains zinc/lead impurities which will dissolve into acidic plating liquid and cause PCB plating defects; stainless steel conductivity is extremely poor leading to serious voltage drop and uneven copper thickness; 99.99% ETP electrolytic copper has the highest conductivity, low impurity dissolution, best choice for high-current precision PCB plating.
Q3: Can worn flying target be maintained and reused?
A3: Yes, we provide professional copper surface polishing, re-passivation anti-oxidation service, replace aging titanium clips, restore original conductive performance, extend service life by more than 2 years and save replacement cost.
Q4: Can we customize flying target length, PCB clip quantity and clip spacing?
A4: Full personalized OEM customization supported. Overall length, height, conductive target thickness, clip spacing, single target PCB holding number can be fully adjusted according to customer VCP plating tank internal dimensions and daily output demand.
