Ultrasonic cleaning

Guyson International has supplied a PLC-controlled two-stage Kerry Microsolve M250/2M mono-solvent ultrasonic cleaning system to one of Europe's leading manufacturers of commercial and Mil Spec electrical and fibre optic connectors, for undertaking a range of precision 'in process' cleaning routines, on products such as connectors and interconnects.

Dan Wilson, quality manager, says: "With this new Kerry ultrasonic system we can put a varied mix of components through the cleaning process and we know the components are clean of any slight trace residue of flux, grease or other contaminants in hidden away and difficult to monitor places before we assemble the connectors, that theoretically could have caused high voltage or high contact resistance issues. Now we are confident these have all been removed and we have done all we can, quality wise, to remove any potential problems before they occur."
