Suction nozzles - universal and component-specific
In addition to the three standard nozzles included with the C|PS³flex and C|PS³apex, which are recommended in accordance with VDA 19.1, ESD-compatible and component-specific nozzles and brushes can also be developed and manufactured according to requirements. The use of ESD-compatible materials ensures optimum dissipation and thus prevents electrostatic discharge during suction extraction on the component. The nozzles are either made from ESD-compatible material or have a special ESD coating.

Nozzle geometries can be individually adapted to special component requirements on request.
Volume flow display as retrofit set for C|PS²
CleanControlling has developed a new measuring device with a touch display and all functions relevant to suction extraction in order to be able to reliably monitor the new normative requirements and parameters of VDA 19.1. The volume flow and differential pressure can be continuously displayed in real time via the touch display. Additional functions such as a timer or stopwatch and guided wet cleaning of the system are also integrated.
During the development of the system, particular attention was paid to backwards compatibility for C|PS² systems. This means that all C|PS² systems built from 07/2019 onwards can be retrofitted by the user. No installation work is required at the factory. Retrofitting can easily be carried out by the laboratory staff themselves.
