AUTOMATED ELECTROPULSE PART POLISHING COMPLEX Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: electrochemical treatment of parts. SUBSTANCE: treatment and rinsing processes are automated, with the exception of charge-discharge processes, all process characteristics are automatically maintained so that exit of electrolyte vapor into environment is eliminated by providing condensation of vapor in special cooler and recycling vapor in the form of water into electrolyte preparing bath Complex has electrolyte component dosed supply system and automatic voltage control system with temperature and electrolyte consistency detectors, which are electrically connected with power source and component dosage systems, removable multiple-diameter filter, manipulator for moving combs with parts according to predetermined program and vapor condenser. Electrolyte rinsing and correction baths are combined in one bath provided with electrolyte supply coil. Electrolyte preparing bath has sludge collection and removal unit. Electrolyte is supplied into working bath by sprayer extending along bath perimeter at the level 1/2 of its height. Power source is provided with automatic voltage control system. EFFECT: increased efficiency, improved quality of treatment and provision for observation of ecology standards, including elimination of electrolyte vapor exit into environment. 2 cl, 2 dwg
