An institute has developed a technology and is now transferring it to the supply industry in various sectors. This allows surfaces to be cleaned and structured quickly and in an environmentally friendly manner. PDF-Download

Painting Heavy Large Parts at Dizzying Heights

For Krauss Maffei, a plant engineer developed a particularly space-saving painting system on two levels. The workpieces travel on a crane runway at a height of 12 m; the walk-in painting and working area for the workers is located 6 m high on the second floor and the space below is fully usable - protected by a guardrail for large parts weighing up to 30 tons.

Clean Bond Surfaces During Wire Bonding

Ultrasonic wire bonding has been established as a contacting method in the microelectronics and semiconductor industries for many years. The bonding technology is also among the first choice for the electrical interconnection of battery cells. At a supplier for wire bonders and bond testers, snow jet cleaning ensures the necessary clean bond surface. PDF-Download

Monitoring the Cleaning Process in Ultrasonic Baths

Matthias Köchel

The mechanical cleaning effect of ultrasonic baths is based on cavitation. Gas bubbles implode and generate both jet streams, which clean the goods like microbrushes, and noises, which can be measured acoustically and analyzed as a numerical value. This can be used to define and monitor the cleaning process. PDF-Download

Gas Cylinder Plant Optimizes Surface Processing

High energy costs and raw material prices are currently causing many companies a hard time. By changing the surface treatment process in cooperation with a blasting media manufacturer, a gas cylinder plant was able to reduce cost factors and improve the quality of its products. PDF-Download
