ADVANCED COMPONENT CLEANING
S-UV Cleaning System
UV-based cleaning solution for UHV and semiconductor applications.
Take a look at our S-UV data sheet
Why S-UV?
High cleanliness is the foundation of reliable high-vacuum performance. UV cleaning delivers excellent cleaning results while significantly reducing energy consumption and processing time compared to traditional bake-out methods, helping to optimize both operating costs and throughput.
Why cleanliness matters
In high-vacuum environments, even minimal contamination affects performance and reliability. Hydrocarbons and residues increase outgassing, reduce vacuum quality and can damage the final product.
The challenge
Conventional cleaning methods are often time-consuming, energy-intensive, or unsuitable for sensitive components. Finding a cleaning solution that is both effective and gentle, while maintaining high throughput, remains a key challenge for modern production environments.
The solution
UV cleaning provides a fast, efficient, and low-temperature alternative for removing contamination. A system designed to help reduce power consumption, processing times, and CO2 footprint in comparison to traditional bake-out.
