Three things to consider when automating cleaning processes

In industrial manufacturing, food processing, medical technology and electronics production, cleanliness is not a luxury – it is a necessity. Residues, dust, oil or particles can severely impair the quality of products. At the same time, manual cleaning processes are often time-consuming, unergonomic and difficult to standardise.

The solution: automation with robots. With the modular, cost-effective robotics solutions from igus and the RBTX marketplace, cleaning processes can be made efficient, safe and reproducible – whether dry, wet, with compressed air or special tools.

Three things to consider when automating cleaning processes

Analyse cleaning methods and types of contamination

Not all types of contamination can be treated in the same way. Dust, oil, chips or chemical residues require different methods – e.g. brushing, vacuuming, blowing, wiping or spraying. Choosing the right tool and medium is crucial for success.

Consider material compatibility and safety requirements

Sensitive surfaces, electronic components or hygienically sensitive areas (e.g. in medical technology) place special demands on cleaning. Robotic solutions must be adapted accordingly and equipped with protective systems if necessary.

Ensure motion control and repeatability

Smooth, repeatable motion is essential for effective cleaning. Robots from igus offer precise motion profiles – ideal for traversing complex geometries or hard-to-reach areas.

RBTXpert Conclusion

You don't want any additional contamination in cleaning processes - and that's exactly why lubricant-free robots from igus are such a great advantage. No oils, no greases, no drops - that makes them ideal for sensitive areas such as food, medical technology or electronics. And if things get really rough - e.g. with water, steam or cleaning agents - there are even robots with IP68 certification on the RBTX marketplace. They stay sealed - even under constant stress. If you're looking for cleanliness and reliability, go for technology that stays clean itself.
