How it Works
The robot simply moves the torch into the cleaning tank filled with anti-spatter fluid. Activation of the ultrasonic generator makes the piezo transducers vibrate the tank at a high frequency. These vibrating waves spread throughout the liquid in the tank. When they reach the surface of the weld consumables, the compression and decompression of the waves creates micro bubbles (cavitations), which implode. This phenomenon triggers a mechanical action that breaks the bond of the weld spatter at the molecular level freeing spatter from the nozzle, contact tip and diffuser. The robot then removes the torch from the tank and a blast of air is pulsed through the torch to remove any loose spatter and remaining fluid.
