#305 Know-how on automation: Cleaning-3 Improving the effect of ultrasonic cleaning
General description
Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is used for most cases of precision cleaning. To optimize the cleaning performance, it is important to design the cleaning basket so that the workpiece will be positioned at the location that receives the largest cleaning energy.
Explanation
(1)Cleaning energy of ultrasonic cleaning
- In most cases, an ultrasonic cleaning device is used for precision cleaning.
- For the most part, the cleaning energy in this ultrasonic cleaning is determined by the number of ultrasonic oscillators that are installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank as well as their capabilities.
- How to optimize the cleaning energy of this ultrasonic cleaning equipment is up to the production engineer's skills and abilities.
- The cleaning energy is generated in ultrasonic cleaning equipment's cleaning tank as shown in Fig.1.
(2)Cleaning posture and position of workpiece
- To optimize the cleaning energy that occurs in the cleaning tank as shown in Fig.1, the cleaning posture (workpiece direction) and the cleaning position must be appropriately selected.
- The optimal cleaning posture means that the workpiece is placed a direction in which the cleaning energy works effectively for contaminants on the workpiece and that the cleaning solution can be easily washed off.
- The optimal cleaning position is where the maximum cleaning energy works on the workpiece to be cleaned. To improve the effect of ultrasonic cleaning, it is important to design the cleaning basket so that it can set the workpiece in the best position. (Fig.2)
