The challenge

Is technical cleanliness becoming a bottleneck?

In automotive, aerospace and manufacturing, requirements for technical cleanliness keep rising – while processes become ever more complex.

Manual particle counting is time-consuming and operator-dependent.
Results are hardly comparable between sites.
Complete, standard-compliant evidence is missing in audits.

The solution

From filter to inspection report – fully automated.

The dhs Cleanalyzer combines matched optics, a motorized stage, the dhs-MicroCam® and analysis software into one standard-compliant complete solution.

Instant control

Detected particles visible directly in the workflow – for fast, well-founded decisions.

Easy classification

Classify particles by type – metallic, non-metallic, fibers.

Report & archive

Inspection report with measurement data and images, stored audit-proof in the image database.

Quick onboarding

Guided workflow for reproducible results – even with changing operators.

Two systems. One goal: your inspection report.

Choose the complete solution for high sample volumes – or upgrade your existing microscope in a targeted way.

What is the Cleanalyzer used for?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
The dhs Cleanalyzer is used for standard-compliant residual dirt analysis of components – especially in the automotive industry, aerospace and industrial production. It helps to identify and document particle contamination precisely.

How is compliance with standards ensured?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
The software-based evaluation follows internationally recognized standards such as VDA 19, ISO 16232, ISO 4406 or SAE AS 4059 – for reliable, reproducible documentation in line with customer specifications.

Can the system be adapted to our requirements?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
Yes. In addition to the preconfigured Cleanalyzer Professional, there is the freely configurable Cleanalyzer Individual – for example with a motorized XY axis, automated filter change or a special microscope setup. Upgrading your existing microscope is also possible.

What sets the Cleanalyzer apart from other solutions?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
In addition to precise hardware, the system stands out with modular dhs software, individual calibration and personal on-site service by experienced technicians – a clear advantage over standardized complete systems without support.

How exactly does the evaluation work?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
The camera captures the filter image in high resolution, and the software segments particles by size, shape and gray value. This is followed by statistical evaluation and automatic report generation.

How long does a typical analysis take?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
That depends on the system type – but automated image capture, optimized software processes and predefined analysis profiles ensure a fast, efficient workflow, even at high inspection throughput.

Which components are included?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
Depending on the version: microscope, camera, filter holder, evaluation software, light source and PC – all perfectly matched. Accessories such as fiber-optic lighting or a motorized axis are available if required.

What are the advantages of hardware and software from a single source?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
A seamless workflow – from image capture and analysis to a standard-compliant report. And if you have questions, dhs is your direct point of contact – no referrals to third-party providers.

How does the system support traceability and audits?

Technische Sauberkeit und Restschmutzanalyse Verfahren Partikelanalyse Software VDA 19, FAQ Icon
All inspection results are documented, archived and traceable – including the parameters used. This means inspection reports can be reproduced exactly, even years later.
