Before heat treatment
Before dimensional check processes
In-process operation
Final wash
The components of the aeronautic business are made of a wide variety of materials such as inconel, titanium, aluminium and superalloys.
Like the downstream process, these metals should be considered in the choice of the cleaning method to be used: chlorinated solvents, aqueous solution, hydrocarbons, micro-emulsion…
MecanoLav machines in the aeronautic industry are equipped with systems for continuous control of the process parameters in connection with the PLC. This system is allowing a report editing after each cycle and the data recording offering a standardized approach.
For this purpose, each sensors working condition is essential (Level, Temperature, Pressure, pH, Conductivity…).
Conception of tools and pallets tailored to the parts to be treated is one of MecanoLav’s strengths. The positioning of the parts for cleaning and drying has a key role in the achievement of cleanliness results.
To make these results reliable, completed cleaning process automation with machine IQ, or even automatic loading/unloading of parts or palets via peripheral equipment (robots, conveyors, loaders, lifting tables…) allow to reduce manual operations.
The cleaning of complex and sensitive parts such as drive gear housings requires that the cleaning fluid be identical or have properties close to the fuel which will circulate in its circuits (kerosene, MEK, Diestone…).
This type of cleaning equipment operating in an explosive environment (ATEX) is an integral part of MecanoLav know-how.
Equipped with several rinsing tanks to achieve the desired cleanliness of the component, a continuous control of the conductivity of the baths from 0 to 200 µS allows to ensure the repeatability of the cleanliness requirement.
MecanoLav puts in place on its machines devices that filter and reprocess washing and rinsing fluids for a zero discharge solution.
