Title:
COUPON AUTOMATIC CLEANING EQUIPMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/036423
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[0098] Coupon cleaning for testing and analysis can be automated to reduce potential exposure to liquid solutions and to more quickly and efficiently clean multiple coupons. A robotic arm (18) is controlled and programmed to connect to one or more coupons (46) and to move the coupons (46) along a guide. The arm (18) then submerges the coupon (46) into multiple solutions and/or water in a predetermined sequence to clean the coupon. The coupon (46) is then replaced on a rack (26) to dry before being measured and analyzed. The process is automated in that no human is needed to contact the coupons or to move them through the cleaning sequence, which provides a safer process for cleaning of the coupons.
