A robotic wash cell is provided and includes a six-axis robotic arm and
end effector equipped with nozzles that spray unheated, solvent free,
pure water at high-pressure to clean or debur objects by maintaining the
nozzles in close proximity and substantially normal to each surface being
cleaned or edge being deburred. The robotic cell wash is particularly
useful for cleaning contaminants such as oil and grease from items having
more complex shapes. The six-axis robotic arm positions the nozzles and
their sprays substantially normal to each surface being cleaned or
deburred. The nozzles produce a multi-zone spray pattern with a
continuous effective cleaning zone. A water recycling and pressurizing
system collects the used water, separates out the oil and grease
contaminants to a level of about 5 ppm, and pressurizes the pure water to
about 3,000 psi for washing operations or about 6,000 psi for deburring
operations.
