The concept
behind Waffletechnology™ is very simple: achieve complete
access to critical components within the equipment. Because
optical lenses are rounded and most sensors are recessed,
access cannot be achieved through the use of flat cleaning
cards. The solution is very simple: design a card that is
not flat.
Waffletechnology™ cleaning cards incorporate flexible,
raised platforms on their top and bottom surfaces. These
cleaning platforms are essentially spring-loaded,
significantly increasing the pressure applied to the
internal components as the card passes through the
mechanism. Not only is cleaning pressure increased, but the
platforms actually spring up into surface cavities to clean
recessed sensors. Additionally, the leading and trailing
surfaces of rounded optical lenses are effectively cleaned.
Flat cards do not touch recessed sensors and, at best, only
come into contact with the convex tip of a rounded optical
lens. As the card is accepted into the mechanism and as it
is dispensed by the mechanism, it is cleaning all surfaces.
