AUTOMOTIVE
of action removes particulate and filmic contaminants such as particles, abrasion, dust, flux, and release agents, including processing media, in a reliable and reproducible manner. The cleaning process is so gentle on materials that it can even be used to clean sensitive, delicate, and finely structured surfaces. Process development is tailored to customer requirements and validated through trials in acp’s technical center. In doing so, the optimal process parameters are determined, such as the flow rates for compressed air and carbon dioxide, the number and type of jet nozzles, the selected zone and dwell time, and the sequence of movements during the cleaning process.
Fully automated, integrated and cleanroom compatible
To meet high cleanliness standards and short cycle time demands generally required for such products, acp designs fully automated cleaning systems from standardised modules to suit the manufacturer’s application and production conditions. Besides cleaning the parts, and depending on the situation and customer specifications, the systems can be deigned to perform other process steps such as separating, aligning, and testing electronic functions. Robots are typically used to handle
The modular concept allows different processing steps to be integrated into the system, such as separ- ation, alignment, and cleaning, as well as electronic function tests.
the parts in the cleaning station including upstream and downstream processes in assembly, and other handling solutions are also possible on request. The compact cleaning systems are ready for integration into production lines with networked production processes. Modular systems for cleaning sensors and housing parts in parallel can also be implemented.
Systems designed as mini-environments for use in cleanrooms are specified to high-purity in the supply of liquid carbon dioxide and compressed air. The media supply system, extraction system and other components, including automation and pick & place, are
always selected to match the respective cleanroom classification. Another focus is on optimal flow conditions to ensure the fast and reliable transportation of detached impurities away from the product.
Thanks to an assured cleaning process that meets the strictest cleanliness specifications, and its suitability/adaptability in automation, the quattroClean snow jet cleaning technology can make a valuable contribution to making driver assistance systems safer and more reliable in the future.
The cleaning process may not damage the active sensor, contacts or control and processing PCBs.
