Abstract:
1. Device for electrolytic treatment of workpieces comprising means for bringing treatment liquid into contact with the workpieces, means for electrical contacting of the workpieces at contact sites and counterelectrodes, which are so arranged that the workpieces may be arranged opposing these, characterized in that the counterelectrodes ( 5 .x) are each subdivided into at least two electrode segments ( 13 .x), that at least one contact-near electrode segment ( 13 . 1 ) and at least one contact-remote electrode segment ( 13 . 4 ) and possibly further electrode segments ( 13 . 2 , 13 . 3 ) arranged between them are provided, whereby each electrode segment ( 13 .x) is fed by a separate current source ( 15 .x) and that separating lines delineating the electrode segments ( 13 .x) run substantially parallel to a transport direction of the workpieces ( 9 ) through the device and are offset relative to separating lines between electrode segments ( 13 .x) of an adjacent counterelectrode ( 5 .x) or that the separating lines delineating the electrode segments ( 13 .x) run at an angle α>0 to the transport direction of the workpieces ( 9 ).
