These parts handling units range from the Autotrans Single Axis Lift, for use where no lateral movement is required, to the fully automated multi-programmable Autotrans iDrive Minor and Major systems, which handle loads of up to 80 kg and can operate several Autotrans heads simultaneously. Automated systems may include load/unload stations or feed and exit conveyors. A 'basket recognition' feature available, on Autotrans iDrive systems, allows automatic selection of the correct pre-programmed cleaning process to suit the basket contents. Touch-sensitive programming is undertaken via the ‘Graphic Operator Terminal’ (GOT) integrated PLC/HMI fitted with a full-colour display screen. Reduced running costs Automation of the ultrasonic cleaning process reduces running costs with both solvent and aqueous systems by assuring consistent, repeatable quality, reducing reject rates, and increasing throughput. With Microsolve, automated solvent-based ultrasonic cleaning systems further cost reductions result from controlling the speed of basket entry and withdrawal from the vapour zone, thus reducing solvent drag-out and losses to the atmosphere caused by disturbance of the vapour blanket.
