Advanced Technical Cleanliness Solutions for Sensitive Aerospace Missions
Technical Cleanliness Matters
The impact of contaminants is significant in the world of optical systems, from advanced satellites to precision robotics. These contaminants lead to unwanted stray light and spectral deviations, undermining the performance of critical components. Just as you'd want a clean windshield for clear driving, maintaining cleanliness is vital throughout the manufacturing process of these complex systems to ensure their optimal performance.
The Industry Challenge
Maintaining cleanliness becomes vital in vast projects with extended lifecycles, like robotics or spectroscopy endeavors spanning a decade. Hundreds of contributors are involved, with some components growing sensitive, delicate components are often out of reach once integrated. This urgency highlights the need for a novel approach that minimizes contamination from the design phase onward by a simple yet effective detection method to ensure mission success and component longevity.
The Analytical Spheres Solution
Groundbreaking patent solution that revolutionizes the assessment of technical cleanliness.
Combining a test sample with the Analytical Spheres' low-aggregated test particles in real environments allows a comprehensive inspection process to be conducted at micro and nanometer scales under UV light. The color-coded particles, which involve assigning a color to match its mono-size, enable a simple pass/fail evaluation through visual observation. Thanks to the unique feature of being usable in a powdered state for particles less than 10 microns, it enables sensitive measurements using microscopy,
The Solution Advantages
Reliable, cost-effective, and quantitative optical measurements.
Visual and Quantitative Analysis
Captured images by smartphone and visual assessments yield to quantitative data, aiding informed decision-making by simple yet effective method.
Suitable for Delicate Components
Dry powder application ensures testing of components sensitive to liquids without risking damage.
Standardization Across the Chain
By incorporating Analytical Spheres throughout the supply chain, consistent cleanliness standards are upheld from design through production.
C3 Contamination Control Cube & Analytical Spheres Innovation
What is the C3 Contamination Control Cube?
The C3 Contamination Control Cube, measuring 6x6x6 cm, is made from crucial materials like aluminum, steel, and titanium; it's enriched with specialized treatments like chrome and nickel and features steps, cooling fins, holes, and threads, drawing inspiration from real-world applications, including construction.
Why it matters?
The cube addresses a pivotal challenge – contamination control. Simulating real-world surfaces enables us to understand how contaminants behave and assess the efficiency of cleaning processes. This tool empowers various industries, ensuring top-notch cleanliness standards, from aerospace to manufacturing.
Step 1: The Procedure
We start by applying test particles to the C3 cube using a fine spray technique. This guarantees even particle distribution, which is crucial for accurate analysis. The cube then undergoes simulations of real-world conditions, including industry-relevant cleaning procedures, handling, and storage scenarios.
Step 2:: The Analysis
In the case study, the C3-Cube was contaminated with red and green test particle particles. Green had a size of 10µm, and red had a size of 0.5µm. After deliberate contamination, the particles settled evenly into the gaps. After cleaning, it was clear that the green particles could be almost completely removed. Especially in geometrically challenging areas, the red particles remained and could not be fully removed.
