Cleanliness Analysis Systems
Target contamination fast
Automotive and electronics suppliers and manufacturers can ensure better product performance and lifetime through efficient and reliable technical cleanliness by analyzing particle quantity, size, and composition. Cleanliness analysis systems from Leica Microsystems offer optimized software and a unique 2-in-1 solution for visual and chemical analysis.
Your benefits
- Increase throughput by analyzing more in less time.
- Obtain more insights on the source of particles for better risk assessment and more confident decisions.
- Meet all your current needs and be prepared for changing requirements.
At Allinox, an aerospace company, we have the Cleanliness Analysis Advanced System and use it for analyzing difficult particles on critical parts. We use this solution to analyze particles as small as 5 µm in size, measure them accurately in 3 dimensions, and distinguish reflective from non-reflective ones in accordance with aerospace standards, e.g., P4TF21. Since we have this solution, it has helped us to increase the efficiency of our cleanliness analysis and significantly improve the quality and reliability of our products.
Fast-forward to your results
Ensure you get your cleanliness analysis results more efficiently:
- Save 30% of your filter sample scanning time for particle sizes between 5 - 10 micrometers.
- For particle sizes over 25 micrometers, you can scan particles on filter samples 3 x faster.
Identify the reflective particle on your filter sample faster and calculate the circular diameter of irregularly shaped particles with improved speed thanks to optimized algorithms.
Further simplify your workflow by using the automated particle analysis over multiple filter samples and save time by analysing more than one filter at a time per batch.
Get more insights on particles
Identify "killer particles" more reliably.
The harder and larger a particle is, the higher its damage potential.
- Automatically differentiate between metallic and non-metallic particle types.
- Easily distinguish the difference between particles and fibers.
- Measure particle height with automated software tools.
Get a laser focus on the source of contamination.
Perform visual and chemical analysis simultaneously with a 2-in-1 solution, combining Cleanliness Expert software and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS).
- Complete your entire analysis workflow on a single instrument.
- Eliminate time wasted on sample transfer and additional sample preparation.
- Save 90% of the time taken to determine microstructure composition*.
