Foundation for a groundbreaking new cleaning technology

For the cleaning of glass substrates, such as those used by LEONI Fiber Optics GmbH in the production of branch connectors in fiber optic cables, the company supplied a system based on their advanced CNX cleaning process. Unlike conventional methods, this process in this application exclusively uses pure distilled water and does not require chemicals or other additives. In addition to being environmentally friendly, this also makes a significant contribution to cost optimization of the cleaning process. "Advanced Wet Technologies GmbH convinced us with their innovative technology. Delivery, installation, and commissioning of the system went to our great satisfaction," explains Dr. Maria Kufner, the responsible product line manager for planar waveguide technology at LEONI Fiber Optics GmbH, describing the project progress. "Especially for workpieces with complex three-dimensional structures, our CNX technology delivers excellent cleaning results, generally has shorter process times, and additionally saves expensive process chemicals," states Hans Hauger, one of the founders of Advanced Wet Technologies GmbH.

Advanced Wet Technologies GmbH, based in Hüfingen, has committed itself to developing solutions for its customers that address demanding tasks in cleaning and surface treatment of complex workpieces. Since its founding, the company has successfully secured important contracts for itself.
