The Disco DCS 1440 is an automatic cleaning system used to clean workpieces that have been cut on a dicing saw. The DCS 1440 supports workpiece sizes up to 250 mm square or 200 mm round. The DCS 1440 offers high-pressure cleaning and an optional atomizing cleaning nozzle, and includes a space-saving design with a width of 400 mm.[1]

What it is

The Disco DCS 1440 is an automatic cleaning system designed to clean workpieces that have been cut on a dicing saw. The DCS 1440 is a model in Disco’s DCS series of cleaning equipment. The system supports workpiece sizes up to 250 mm by 250 mm and can also handle multilayer substrates. The machine has a footprint of 400 mm width by 600 mm depth by 1,220 mm height and weighs approximately 130 kg. The DCS 1440 is equipped with a 4-inch LCD touch panel for operation and uses a spinner table that rotates at speeds from 100 min⁻¹ to 3,000 min⁻¹.[1]

How it works

The DCS 1440 cleans workpieces by spinning them on a table while a cleaning arm sweeps across the surface. Two cleaning methods are available: high pressure cleaning and atomizing cleaning. High pressure cleaning directs a jet of water at pressures between 2.0 MPa and 11.8 MPa against the workpiece. Atomizing cleaning generates a mist by mixing fluid droplets with compressed air, and the mist is sprayed at high speed onto the surface; the shockwave and expansion wave from the impact remove particles with minimal damage. The atomizing nozzle is an optional specification. The system can be configured with a double cleaning arm, mounting both nozzle types, to handle a wider range of workpieces. Cleaning sequences are programmable, allowing the operator to set sweep speed and cleaning locations. Up to eight different cleaning sequences can be saved and recalled.[1]
