►Ophthalmics ▪ Pre-A/R Clean
A vacuum coating can only be as good as the surface to
which it is applied. The Soniscan® line of
aqueous cleaning systems has been developed
to deliver lens surfaces that are pristine,
and absolutely contamination-free.
The 4-stage unit, with a single
ultrasonic wash tank, is shown above. In
cases where various lens materials may
require special handling (e.g. less
aggressive cleaning chemistry), a 5-stage
system with dual ultrasonic wash tanks, is
available. In this configuration, the wash
baths may be used in series, or as
processing alternatives, prior to sharing
the rinsing and drying stages. Sophisticated
automation takes care of any “decisions”
regarding the process.
Spot-free rinsing and drying is achieved
using on-board DI regeneration facilities to
ensure the availability of high-purity hot
DI water, in copious quantities, but with
almost no waste.
See our Soniscan® page for more details
on this versatile critical cleaning system.
