Requirements in precision manufacturing
In precision manufacturing, tightly toleranced functional surfaces require defined, reproducible cleanliness. Even the smallest residues can impair function and downstream processes — a stable, repeatable cleaning process is decisive.
Suitable processes
Which process fits best depends on the part, the contamination and the batch size — we advise on a technology-neutral basis. For this industry, the following are particularly relevant:
- Ultrasonic cleaning — thorough cleaning of fine geometries and cavities in an immersion bath
- High-pressure cleaning — cleaning and deburring with the high-pressure water jet
- Laser cleaning — selective, contactless removal of defined contamination
- Vibration cleaning — cleaning and deburring by vibration
- Wet-chemical cleaning — aqueous or solvent-based cleaning, also for oils and greases
Test the process at TeSe
Whether a process meets your industry’s requirements on your actual part is shown by a trial: 1–2 hours of testing free of charge. In-depth feasibility studies: CHF 1’200 per day, 50% creditable against a machine purchase.
