【Abstract】: Robot‑assisted cleaning and automated cleaning lines are rapidly replacing manual cleaning, bringing new requirements for cleaning agents including low‑foam performance, temperature stability and water‑quality adaptability. CP‑900 has passed FANUC compatibility test, features low‑foam performance under low‑temperature conditions and tolerates relatively hard water, making it a reliable option for automated production lines.
New Requirements for Cleaning Agents in Robot‑Assisted Cleaning
1.Stable low‑foam performance: Foam generated during robot spraying and swing‑washing interferes with sensors and visual positioning systems. Cleaning agents shall maintain low‑foam and stable status.
2.Cold‑start capability: Cleaning‑solution temperature fluctuates with seasonal changes. Cleaning agents shall resist foaming at low temperature and deliver stable cleaning performance under cold conditions.
3.Water‑quality adaptability: Tap‑water hardness varies across regions. Hard water may react with certain cleaners to form soap‑like deposits, impairing cleaning performance and shortening bath service life.
4.Environmental compliance: Green‑procurement audits by OEMs and component manufacturers become increasingly stringent. Cleaning agents shall avoid PRTR‑reportable restricted substances.
Therefore, robot‑suitable cleaning agents shall satisfy four requirements simultaneously: low‑foam property, temperature adaptability, water‑quality tolerance and environmental compliance.
Core Features of CP‑900 Robot‑Compatible Cleaning Agent
CP‑900 is a weakly‑alkaline water‑based metal‑cleaning agent. Widely adopted in automotive‑industry workflows, it performs component cleaning and provides short‑term rust protection:
1.Robot compatibility: Qualified product passing FANUC compatibility test, directly applicable for robot‑assisted cleaning with verified equipment adaptability.
2.Low‑foam under low‑temperature conditions: Resists foaming at low temperature with broad applicable‑temperature range, enabling stable cleaning in winter or cold‑start scenarios.
3.Excellent hard‑water tolerance: Works well under relatively high‑hardness water, adapting to on‑site solution‑preparation conditions with diversified local water sources.
4.Non‑ferrous‑metal compatibility: Causes no corrosion or discoloration on aluminum and other non‑ferrous metals, safe for multi‑material workpieces.
5.Environmental compliance: Free of PRTR‑reportable substances, meeting green‑procurement and environmental‑audit requirements from OEM customers.
6.Free of white residues: Organic‑component‑dominated formula leaves no white residues after drying and ensures high workpiece surface cleanliness.
Applicable scenarios: Robot cleaning stations and automated cleaning lines; component cleaning in each manufacturing procedure of automotive‑part production; green‑procurement projects with strict environmental‑audit requirements.
Selection & Application Recommendations for Robot Cleaning Lines
1.When building robot cleaning stations, prioritize cleaners passing FANUC compatibility test to reduce equipment‑matching and commissioning risks.
2.Control working concentration within 3%‑10%; prepare initial bath at 5%.
3.Enable direct cleaning startup under low‑temperature working conditions without lengthy preheating.
4.No special water‑softening treatment required for hard‑water regions; CP‑900 maintains stable cleaning performance.
5.Cleaned and blow‑dried workpieces gain short‑term rust‑protection performance for inter‑process transfer and temporary storage.
FAQ
Q: Why cannot ordinary cleaning agents be used for robot‑assisted cleaning?
A: Foam from ordinary cleaners interferes with sensors and visual positioning systems in robot‑cleaning workflows. Ordinary products lack equipment‑adaptation verification and may suffer foam disturbance and uneven cleaning. CP‑900 has passed FANUC compatibility test with proven matching performance for robot cleaning equipment.
Q: What is FANUC compatibility test?
A: It is an equipment‑adaptation verification conducted by FANUC for cleaning agents used together with cleaning robots. It evaluates foam characteristics, bath stability and equipment compatibility under robot‑cleaning working conditions. Passing this test means the cleaning agent has obtained authoritative verification for robot‑cleaning‑equipment matching.
Q: Will this cleaning agent foam heavily at low temperature?
A: Some cleaners suffer severe foaming and deteriorated detergency under low‑temperature conditions. CP‑900 resists foaming at low temperature with wide applicable‑temperature range and supports normal cleaning in winter or cold‑start scenarios.
Q: Is CP‑900 usable in hard‑water regions?
A: Yes. CP‑900 tolerates relatively high‑hardness water and adapts to various on‑site water‑source conditions, mitigating cleaning‑quality fluctuations induced by water‑quality variation.
Q: What are PRTR‑reportable substances?
A: PRTR refers to the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register system under Japanese chemical‑substance‑management legislation. Reportable substances are specific chemicals subject to statutory reporting and management. CP‑900 contains no PRTR‑reportable ingredients and achieves sound environmental compliance.
