ABSTRACT:
An automated cleaning system for parts is disclosed. The parts to be cleaned are elongated tubes closed on one end which are mounted upside down on nozzles on a fixture. The fixture is placed in a wash tank where cleaning fluid is forced through the nozzles and into the insides of the parts. Ultrasonic techniques are also employed to assist in the cleaning. The fixture is moved to the next tank where rinse fluid is forced through nozzles. Again, ultrasonic techniques are used in the rinse tank. The fixture is placed in the drying tank where heated air is circulated into the tank while a vacuum is applied to the nozzles to draw out the heated air through the nozzles. Humidity from ambient air is isolated by virtue of the heated inlet air to the drying tank and an operable lid on the dry tank. Numerous parts can be processed at once in an automatic system which provides an improved technique for cleaning the parts while shortening the cycle time for the entire process.
