How Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Used in Flat Panel Glass Processing

The flat panel glass is used in many products including flat screen products. The manufacturing steps in flat panel glass processing involve the application of coatings, adding semiconductor functions and special treatments of the glass. Manufacturing processes also often leave residues and the glass itself can pick up dirt and contaminants from the shop environment. Before it can be processed further, flat panel glass must be effectively and completely cleaned. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners used in these applications only require the use of mild detergents is safe for workers and the environment.

After flat glass sheets have been cut, the edges need to be polished and the corners rounded. The resulting flat panel glass that has a specific size and shape will then go through additional processing.
The additional process steps can include the addition of color or polarizing filters, layers for liquid crystal displays or chip on glass applications. For each of these process steps, having a clean glass surface is essential. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners are essential to the cleaning process to ensure surface contamination is removed and ensure quality flat panel glass products are produced.

While each of the process steps requires cleaning glass panels, the actual cleaning requirements needed for each steep may be different. For rough cleaning and removal of heavy contamination from the glass itself, the strong cleaning action from a low-frequency ultrasonic system may be appropriate. For filter coatings and chip on glass cleaning requirements, however, higher-frequency systems delivering gentle cleaning without damaging delicate films and components may be required. Since there are many cleaning applications in flat panel manufacturing specific requirements and customized ultrasonic systems may be required.
