High precision cleaning with plasma is used for surface treatment. It uses open air plasma to remove contaminants from surfaces of various materials. This method of cleaning involves ionizing gas in a vacuum chamber to create a plasma. This plasma is directed toward the surface of the material to clean it. The treatment process breaks down contaminants into small, volatile particles. which can be removed by a vacuum pump. While it is mainly used in the medical and automotive industry, it has a broad field of application.
When you are looking for automatic deep cleaning, plasma offers exceptional capabilities. It reaches areas that are difficult to access by other methods. As plasma is a gas, it effectively removes contaminants from complex geometries, blind holes or narrow channels. This ensures uniform clean surfaces. It is non-destructive and does not alter material properties. As it operates at low temperatures, it minimizes risks of thermal damage to delicate surfaces or components. It is an ideal process to integrate into a precision manufacturing line.
Plasma treatment can be used to selectively clean specific contaminants or materials, such as oil, dust or electrolyte. By choosing the appropriate gas composition and process parameters, it can target and remove specific contaminants without affecting the underlying material. While plasma is very effective for organic contaminants, it is not efficient in removing rust or oxides.
Creating a clean, receptive surface for adhesives is another example of cleaning with plasma. By removing particles and activating the surface, adhesives get a better grip. This then leads to improved bonding and product quality. Treatment with plasma is a versatile, precise and reliable technique, offering a lot of flexibility and advantages.
