Zenith's MBT Automation System Provides Unequalled
Transfer ReliabilityZenith's
MBT Automation System
is undergoing an industry revival due to the design's improved capabilities, and
transfer reliability.
Most automation systems sold by competitive ultrasonic cleaner manufacturers
are "Pick & Place" robotic systems that use optical encoders and motors to lift
baskets from processing tanks. Unfortunately, some competitive designs are
not accurately and consistently transferring baskets. In some cases, parts
are actually dropped onto the floor, thereby "crashing" the system, and causing
parts damage. This problem is so common that some manufacturers
actually install "crash sensors" in an attempt to prevent the problem.
Zenith's
MBT Automation System does not transfer
baskets by lifting, but rather by pushing baskets to the next station along a
guided path. This eliminates the possibility of parts being dropped onto
the floor regardless of system error. Not only is this system more
reliable, each liquid-bearing tank includes an independent Oscillation Platform
which intermittently or continuously oscillates the baskets of parts during any
process, capabilities that are not possible when using a pick & place robot.
Tank covers are also included, and automatically close when the batch of parts
is lowered into the tank, thereby reducing evaporation losses.
The
MBT system is controlled with a touch-screen interface panel
which includes recipe programming, and Ultrasonic Frequency Selection when
cleaning sensitive parts, such as polished aluminum.

Zenith Develops New 40kHz Ultrasonic Generator
Zenith's new ultrasonic system operating at
40kHz produces the most
evenly distributed 40kHz ultrasonic cleaning activity of any available
ultrasonic generator. In fact, the energy distribution approaches that of
80kHz
ultrasonics, but is substantially more powerful. The new design,
called "40+", provides customers with powerful
40kHz scrubbing action without
sacrificing energy distribution which can cause inconsistent cleaning results in
fine detailed areas.
