SITA Cleanliness Monitoring (In-Line) Line CISITA Cleanliness Monitoring (In-Line) Line CI

specification:
SITA Clean Line CI is an inline fluorescence inspection system that monitors the presence of film-like contaminants (such as oils, lubricants, and release agents) on part surfaces during manufacturing. It can also measure the thickness of coatings (such as rust preventative oils or pre-bonding primers) to ensure consistent quality during subsequent manufacturing processes (bonding, painting, welding, hardening, etc.).

DESCRIPTION

Main Applications

Cleanliness Inspection: Detecting the surface cleanliness of wire, pipe, and steel strip before coating.

Residue Detection: Checking the surface of aluminum die-cast parts for release agent residue (before gluing).

Functional Surface Inspection: Surface verification after laser cleaning, ultrafine plasma cleaning, and CO₂ snow cleaning.

Primer/Corrosion Inhibitor Inspection: Monitoring coating thickness and uniformity.

Large Metal Part Inspection: Cleanliness inspection before painting and printing.

Contamination Distribution Analysis: Online monitoring of surface contamination distribution during the manufacturing process.

Measurement Principle

Contaminants such as grease and lubricants in industrial processes fluoresce when excited by UV light.

The fluorescence intensity is proportional to the thickness of the contamination layer.

The system uses relative fluorescence units (RFUs) for quantification. The lower the value, the cleaner the surface.
