  • Publication number: 20080053495
    Abstract: A fluid cleaning system includes a fluid source connected to a pump that is used to increase the pressure of the fluid. A two-way valve selectively allows the higher pressure fluid to flow back into the tank, or to flow to a rotary union. The union has a nozzle attached to it to provide a fluid stream to contact an object, such as a workpiece, to be cleaned of dirt, debris, or surface irregularities. The union is attached to a robot arm, and contains locating features which allow the fluid stream to be accurately located relative to the workpiece. This allows the entire system to be automated, thereby providing advantages such as speed and efficiency.
