What Are the Advantages of Turn-Key Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems?

An ultrasonic cleaning system contains three essential components: the ultrasonic generator, the transducer, and the cleaning tank.

These components can be purchased together in a complete turn-key system or purchased separately. If components are purchased separately customers need to make sure that the components and specifications match otherwise the system will not perform or provide less than ideal results.

Turn-key ultrasonic cleaning systems from reputable manufacturers are built with components that have the required characteristics. The system design ensures that the selected components are matched correctly and together deliver the best performance.

Aside from the frequency, power and tank size, the type of controls, the tank material and the operating temperature should be considered.

• General-purpose cleaning or cleaning rugged components – low frequency (26 kHz or 38 kHz)
• Cleaning delicate parts – high frequency (130 kHz or 160 kHz)

The size of the tank should and a number of transducers needed must be determined. Tanks need to be large enough to hold the biggest or longest parts to be cleaned. The tank material also needs to be impervious to withstand any cleaning solutions used as well as the high temperatures (if heating is needed).

Control systems should be run in either fixed mode or sweep mode to produce even distribution of the ultrasonic waves. The system controls also adjust the power.

Citing the time-consuming and expensive nature of the application of these design configurations, any mistakes will adversely affect the ultrasonic cleaner's performance and may even damage the parts that are being cleaned.

Kajio's Phenix III is a turn-key ultrasonic cleaning system will eliminate those potential problems. It delivers general ultrasonic cleaning for a variety of industrial parts in a reliable and cost-effective manner. It is easy to use and offers flexibility in operations.

It offers various standard tank sizes to accommodate different powers and frequencies. Custom sized tanks are also available. The 3mm-thick stainless-steel tank can withstand high temperatures (up to 100 degrees centigrade) and common detergents, therefore delivering superior cleaning performance. The transducers and the tank can also withstand high-temperature operation.

The Phenix III is available in 26 kHz and 38 kHz models as well as 600w and 1200w models. It can operate in either fixed or sweep mode.

For additional flexibility, the single-phase 50/60 Hz AC power supply is selectable for 200V, 208V, 230V or 240V. The unit draws 6A for the 600 W model and 10 A for the 1200 W model.

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.

Kaijo can help flat panel manufacturers effectively use ultrasonic cleaning systems in their production lines to ensure high-quality products are produced.
