SITA - Model CleanoSpector -Handheld Device for Contactless Cleanliness Inspection
The SITA CleanoSpector is a handheld device designed for the contactless cleanliness inspection of parts' surfaces. It is essential for maintaining product quality in follow-up processes like adhesive bonding, coating, welding, and hardening by detecting unwanted film contaminants such as oils, greases, cooling lubricants, and release agents. The device operates on the principle of fluorescence, where UV light is radiated onto the surface, causing contamination to fluoresce. The intensity of the fluorescence, measured in Relative Fluorescence Units (RFU), correlates with the layer thickness of the contamination. A lower RFU denotes cleaner surfaces. The SITA CleanoSpector is user-friendly and can be integrated directly into the manufacturing process for real-time quality assurance. Optional software, SITA-ProcessLog, provides convenient access to all functionalities and data on a PC. Various accessories for contact-free measurement and device maintenance are available to complement this instrument.
The hand-held measuring device SITA CleanoSpector is used for Cleanliness inspection of parts to ensure product quality and follow-up processes such as adhesive bonding, coating, welding, hardening and bonding.
Unwanted Filmic contamination such as oils, greases, cooling lubricants and release agents are detected by measuring the Fluorescence intensity.
The easy to use SITA CleanoSpector is suitable for quality assurance directly in the manufacturing process.
