The invention relates to a device for cleaning a workpiece produced by means of additive production from a granular and/or powdery production material and/or for removing excess granular and/or powdery production material after additive workpiece production. The device comprises a housing in which a workpiece mounting is arranged on which or on which the produced workpiece can be arranged. In or on the housing at least one conveyor is arranged to convey, in particular, excess production material, away from the housing interior. At least one movable nozzle is arranged on at least one movable nozzle arm in the housing interior, such that the workpiece and the housing interior can be acted upon by at least one flow of the cleaning fluid during a cleaning cycle in which the workpiece and/or housing interior are purged of, in particular, excess production material. At least one nozzle rotation is provided, in which the nozzle can be rotated about at least one nozzle rotation axis relative to the nozzle arm. At least one arm trajectory movement and/or at least one arm rotation is provided, in which the nozzle arm can be moved and/or rotated relative to the workpiece mounting along at least one arm trajectory and/or about at least one arm rotation axis. The rotational speed of the nozzle rotation and the speed of the arm movement and/or the arm rotation are constituted such that during a cleaning cycle the flow of the cleaning fluid assumes all, or almost all, flow directions within the housing interior, such that the whole surface, or almost the whole surface, of the workpiece and of the housing interior, can be exposed to the cleaning flow from all, or almost all, directions.

The present invention provides a cleaning method and equipment thereof for object FOUP, comprising the following steps: firstly separating the object FOUP into a container lid and a container body, then conducting individual processes of wet washing, liquid removing and vacuum drying for the container lid and container body, and in the end combining the container lid and container body to complete the cleaning procedure of the object FOUP; specifically, during the liquid removing process, multiple wind knives are used to carry out liquid removing for the container body, and during the vacuum drying process after liquid removing, multiple thermal components are used to carry out vacuum drying for the container body under a vacuum environment; moreover, the present invention also includes the cleaning equipment to execute the above method, for the purpose of overcoming the problem that the wet cleaning process in the conventional automatic chip FOUP cleaning technique cannot effectively clean object FOUPs with relatively complicated internal structures.

A cutter and cutter-holder matching method includes: transferring a cutter holder to a temporary cutter-holder placement module by a first clamping module; heating the cutter holder by a cutter-holder heating module for expanding a cutter clamping hole of the cutter holder; inserting a part of a cutter into the cutter clamping hole of the cutter holder by a second clamping module; cooling the cutter holder by a cutter-holder cooling module for contracting the cutter clamping hole of the cutter holder so as to tightly clamp the cutter; and transferring the cutter holder with the cutter to an assembly storage module by the first clamping module.

A method for manufacturing a structure on a surface of a workpiece (1) is disclosed, the method having the following steps: applying a liquid base layer (2) onto the surface of the workpiece (1); spraying on at least one droplet (3) into the not yet congealed base layer (2), wherein the at least one droplet (3) at least partially, preferably completely, penetrates into the base layer (2); fixing the base layer (2); and at least partially removing the at least one droplet (3).

Further, a second method having the following steps is disclosed: spraying on at least one droplet (3) onto the surface of the workpiece (1); applying a liquid base layer (2) onto the surface of the workpiece (1), wherein the base layer (2) flows around the at least one droplet (3) and preferably at least partially covers the at least one droplet (3); fixing the base layer (2); at least partially removing the at least one droplet (3).

Finally, a device for performing the methods is disclosed.

The disclosure provides for cleaning three-dimensional (3D) components printed in a powder bed from adhering powder particles. The 3D-printed components are cleaned with a negative pressure-induced volumetric flow. The 3D-printed components are first removed from the powder bed after their manufacture, then positioned on a feed device and moved together with the feed device into a pressure-tight sealable chamber. In the interior of the chamber negative pressure is subsequently built up and a fluid volumetric flow is applied to the 3D-printed component to be cleaned which results in the powder particles being detached from the 3D-printed component. The powder particles are removed from the sealed chamber in a pressure tight manner via at least one channel conduit which is subjected to negative pressure and are fed to a separation device. The chamber is subsequently released of pressure and then opened for removal of the cleaned 3D-printed component.

A foreign object removal apparatus removes a foreign object attached on a can body by rinsing the can body. The foreign object removal apparatus includes a conveyance line configured to convey the can body, a destaticizing air blower configured to blow a destaticizing air to the conveyed can body, and a rinser configured to rinse the can body after blowing the destaticizing air using the destaticizing air blower.

A cleaning apparatus is provided. This cleaning apparatus includes an inlet, an outlet, a first conveyance path, a second conveyance path, a cleaning unit disposed on the first conveyance path and configured to clean the target object in a non-contacting manner, and a drying unit disposed on the first conveyance path and configured to dry the target object in a non-contacting manner. The first conveyance path and the second conveyance path are vertically arranged side by side. The second conveyance path is positioned above the first conveyance path and connected with the outlet at an end point. The second conveyance path functions as a stocker configured to temporarily store the target object.

A run-through cleaning device for bulk parts as well as a cleaning method therefor. Within the run-through cleaning device, the bulk parts are moved by means of a forced advance. By means of chicanes and/or a curvilinear course of the channel interior, the mutually abutting front ends of adjacent bulk parts are made accessible. Due to this arrangement, it is possible to also clean the front ends.

A substrate processing device includes a processing container; a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate arranged within the processing container; a gas nozzle configured to spray gas within the processing container; a controller configured to control collision of the gas with the substrate held by the substrate holder. The controller is configured to remove particles adhering to the main surface of the substrate, by causing the vertical shock waves to collide with the main surface of the substrate.

An apparatus on a vehicle comprises one or more sensors, one or more nozzles that output fluid to clean the respective one or more sensors, and a compressor that generates fluid such as compressed air. The compressor is in fluid communication with the one or more nozzles. The apparatus further comprises one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to determine a current velocity of the vehicle and control an operation of the compressor based on the current velocity of the vehicle.
