For certain processes, maintaining clean metal parts before moving to the next manufacturing stage is crucial, but how can you be certain your surfaces are completely free of contaminants? Dyne Testing, presents the CleanoSpector, an instrument that provides contact-free cleanliness inspection and aids quality assurance of industrial cleaning processes.
The CleanoSpector measures organic contamination such as oil, grease, coolants, release agents, and cleaning fluid on metal surfaces. It is widely used on production lines, during field work, and in laboratories across industries including automotive, medical device manufacturing, and aerospace.
The instrument provides non-contact and non-destructive inspection of metal surfaces at the push of a button, detecting contamination on the metal’s surface by emitting focused UV light onto the surface and measuring the fluorescence from any organic compounds, with results displayed in the cleanliness degree of parts in per cent. The higher the measured fluorescence’s intensity, the more intense the contamination, and the lower the displayed cleanliness.
CleanoSpector is suitable for use in the laboratory as well as for use around the manufacturing process. The instrument can work on metals and ceramics. It has various spacers that can provide easy measurement of different part shapes to ensure optimal focal length.
The technology of fluorescence measurement using the CleanoSpector enables reliable monitoring and recording of part cleanliness after cleaning. In addition, as an initial check before cleaning, it can ensure that the degree of contamination of the parts remains within the permissible limits for which the cleaning process was specified and designed. Parameter deviations and cleaning system faults can be recognised in time and process reliability can be significantly increased. A software option provides computer control of the CleanoSpector and the recording and management of cleanliness measurement data.
