Industrial Camera Cleaning Guide
How should industrial cameras be cleaned?
Using microfiber materials, microfibers can penetrate the surface of industrial cameras to remove impurities, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning without causing damage to the camera.
Use pure alcohol (concentration above 90%), which can be purchased in all chemical reagent stores. But be careful not to use isopropyl alcohol, because isopropyl alcohol will absorb moisture in the air and leave liquid traces on the surface of the industrial camera.
Alcohol substitutes. In addition to alcohol, methanol or a liquid called Eclipse can also be used to clean the appearance of industrial cameras. However, this method is not recommended because methanol is a highly toxic substance.
Compressed air method. Under normal circumstances, compressed air is enough to remove all impurities inside the industrial camera chip. However, spray-type compressed air is not recommended because the compressed air in sprays often contains water, oil and other substances that may damage the surface of industrial cameras.
If there are fingerprints or dust on the industrial camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, and wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth; if the contamination is very stubborn, use a cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of neutral detergent, and then wipe it dry; if there is dust on the lens, use a dust blower to remove it. And do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, gasoline or thinner, otherwise it will damage the surface gloss. It should be noted that you must not use metal tools or pliers to handle the lens, otherwise it will leave scratches on its surface.
