Abstract
Provided is a cleaning method capable of eliminating the cleaning the unrequired cleaning points. The cleaning method for a workpiece with foreign matter adhered, the cleaning method including: identifying a cleaning points of the workpiece with the foreign matter adhered; substituting a true value to a cleaning variable for the identified cleaning points; generating a cleaning liquid jet from a main nozzle; skipping a first cleaning section if the cleaning variable has a false value; and executing the first cleaning section to direct the main nozzle toward the cleaning points if the cleaning variable has a true value.
Claims20
A cleaning method for a workpiece with foreign matter adhered, the cleaning method comprising:
- identifying a cleaning points of the workpiece with the foreign matter adhered;
- substituting a true value to a cleaning variable for the identified cleaning points;
- generating a cleaning liquid jet from a main nozzle;
- skipping a first cleaning section if the cleaning variable has a false value;
- and
- executing the first cleaning section to direct the main nozzle toward the cleaning points if the cleaning variable has a true value.
A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a workpiece having a plurality of cleaning points with foreign matter adhered to at least one of the cleaning points, the cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a main nozzle;
- a moving device configured to move the main nozzle relative to the workpiece;
- a storage device configured to store
- a cleaning variable corresponding to the cleaning point, the cleaning variable being binary variable having a true value or a false value, and
- a numerical control program having a first cleaning section which jumps to a next second cleaning section if the cleaning variable corresponding to the first cleaning section has a false value, the numerical control program configured to execute the first cleaning section otherwise;
- an arithmetic device including
- a variable setting unit configured to set the cleaning variable corresponding to the cleaning point with foreign matter adhered to have a true value, and to set the other cleaning variable to have a false value, and
- a numerical control unit configured to move the main nozzle relative to the workpiece based on the numerical control program.
