Monitoring system reduces solvent waste
Kerry Ultrasonics has developed an automatic monitoring system which allows users of its cleaning machines to check the rate at which costly solvents are used during processing.
Programmable baths clean consistently
Kerry has developed bench-top ultrasonic cleaning baths which can be programmed to maximise the quality and repeatability of results.
While their capacity has steadily increased over the years, their size has dramatically reduced.
A key technology which has contributed to this improvement is the development of GMR heads and a reduction in flying height from 1um to near contact.
This change in specification has placed even greater emphasis on the effectiveness of cleaning systems and their ability to satisfy not only low levels of ionic contamination but also to remove particulates down to sub micron level and to remove organic residues.
