Cleanliness Expert – Designed for the Measurement

of the Cleanliness of micro mechanic and Engine
Components
 Micro mechanic Components are
very sensitive to contamination by
particles from production.
 Cleanliness decides about
performance and lifetime.
 Testing of contamination during
and after production is mandatory.
 Also valid for engine components
like gearboxes, engines, crankshafts
and camshafts.
 Applicable for all types of particle
measurement on circular shaped
substrates.

Cleaning procedure - An essential part of the process
 Critical components
are taken out of the
production process.
Page 8
Living up to Life
 Components are cleaned

during or after production.
 The cleaning fluid is poured
through a filter.
 The filter is dried in an oven.
Page 9

 After preparation the filter is
mounted on the microscope for
inspection
 The inspection process run
automatically
 Software designed to be used
also by untrained personnel

 A particle will be classified as reflective if it is detected in the first image

and at least one pixel of the particle is detected in the second image.
 Pixels that are only detected in the second image will be ignored and will
not be used for further processing.
