Micronora 2026: Diehl Metal Applications Showcases Innovative Plating and Precision Technologies

Advanced Plating Solutions for Demanding Applications

A key focus of Diehl Metal Applications' presence at the trade fair will be its advanced electroplating technologies. The company offers a broad range of solutions for the functional enhancement of metallic surfaces, helping customers optimize the electrical, mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties of their components.

The portfolio includes both selective and full-surface plating processes, such as Spot Plating 2.0 for the precise plating of defined areas and Aluminium Strip Plating (ASP), enabling the functional plating of aluminium strip material. In addition, Diehl Metal Applications provides solutions for the plating of wide and thick metal strips. In addition, the company offers solutions for coating wide and thick metal strips. A new reel-to-reel plating line is now fully operational and enables the efficient processing of strip materials with thicknesses from 1.5 to 6.0 mm and widths of up to 400 mm. In addition to full and selective dip plating with nickel and tin, silver plating will also be available in the future. Continuous quality monitoring ensures consistent coating quality and high process reliability.

From Precision Stamped Parts to Integrated Assemblies

In addition to its plating expertise, Diehl Metal Applications will present its extensive capabilities in precision stamping. With more than 50 modern stamping lines, the company develops and manufactures high-precision components ranging from prototypes to high-volume production. Its portfolio includes contacts, connector components, leadframes and components featuring integrated press-fit zones. Extremely clean and bondable surfaces are crucial for reliable further processing, particularly for lead frames. Customized Tape & Reel packaging solutions also enable seamless integration into automated assembly lines and support an efficient material flow. Advanced manufacturing processes and continuous quality monitoring ensure maximum process reliability and precision, even for complex geometries and large production volumes.

By combining plating, stamping and complementary technologies, Diehl Metal Applications offers customers an integrated approach across the entire value chain. These capabilities include press-fit technologies for reliable solder-free electrical connections, overmolding solutions for the integration and protection of electronic components, as well as a wide range of secondary processing and assembly services. This combination enables the development of customized components and assemblies that integrate electrical, mechanical and functional requirements into a single solution.
