Ultrasonic Wire Cleaning - An Overview

Abstract:

This paper examines the economic costs and benefits of the use of an ultrasonic wire or tape cleaning system. In the last years, major technology improvements made the use of power ultrasound more reasonable for the cleaning of wires. The cavitation of modern high-power ultrasonic processors serves to remove grease, oil, and other contaminations from the surface of the wire. Reduced investment costs and high performance of these ultrasonic wire cleaning systems made them not only competitive but superior to conventional cleaning methods as for example acid baths.
