The hand-held measuring device SITA CleanoSpector is used for Cleanliness inspection of parts to ensure product quality and follow-up processes such as adhesive bonding, coating, welding, hardening and bonding.
Unwanted Filmic contamination such as oils, greases, cooling lubricants and release agents are detected by measuring the Fluorescence intensity.
The easy to use SITA CleanoSpector is suitable for quality assurance directly in the manufacturing process.
Features
- Mobile and robust measuring device for flexible application at the process and in the laboratory
- Intuitive operation and fast measuring at the push of a button
- Additional sensor trigger button for optimal handling
- Direct measurement with spacer or contact-free using stand and target pointer
- Individual measurement profiles for repeated measuring tasks
- Limit value monitoring with extended statistical characteristic values

For over 15 years, the SITA CleanoSpector is used successfully and worldwide in a wide range of applications and industries:
- Cleanliness inspection of metal parts after processing with production aids (monitoring, optimisation and control of cleaning processes)
- Inspection of functional surfaces after selective cleaning (laser cleaning, ultra-fine plasma cleaning, CO2 snow blasting and others)
- Inspection for residues of release agents on aluminium die-cast parts before adhesive bonding
- Monitoring the cleanliness of gear parts before laser welding
- Inspection for filmic contamination on parts in medical or vacuum technology
- Detecting flux residues and contamination through sealing compound in electronics production
- Surface inspection on electrical contacts after stripping of isolation material
- Inspection for sufficient layer thickness when applying corrosion protection oils or when applying a primer
The measuring method uses the characteristic of organic substances to fluoresce. UV light is focused onto the surface. The contamination fluoresces. The intensity of the Fluorescence increases with the layer thickness of the contamination. The intensity is measured in RFU (Relative Fluorescence Unit) in relation to SITA fluorescence standards.
The lower the measured value in RFU, the cleaner the surface.
