The next generation of parts washers is the integration of robots into cleaning operations. This may include a pick and place robot placing parts on a conveyor, a robot-operated spray nozzle cleaning a fixed part, or a robot manipulating a part over a fixed nozzle. Any combination of washing, rinsing, and drying can be combined into a cleaning cycle. Opening a door to place a part inside a cabinet is one example.
Because of the flexibility of today's robots, there is no single ADF model to feature. A robot can be integrated into many models of the ADF product line or a dedicated custom built machine.
