Magnetic Particles

Substrate: Magnetic Latches

Contamination Challenge: During magnetic latch assembly operations, microscopic magnetic particles must be removed from strongly magnetized surfaces to meet a stringent particle cleanliness specification.

Solution

Manual CO2 Composite Spray™ cleaning process and system.

  • Benchtop spray cleaning system with footswitch control
  • Single CO2 composite spray applicator – pendant style
  • Local exhaust plenum to remove magnetic contamination
Benefits
  1. 100% dry processing – Dry-In/Dry-Out
  2. Selective cleaning (contaminated latch surfaces)
  3. Low operational cost
  4. Faster and more effective than manual wiping and ultrasonic cleaning processes
