Abstract
A parts cleaner is provided for taking small, oily parts from a machine tool, such as the output from an automatic screw machine, and successively subjecting the parts to a wiping action, a blast of solvent vapor, treatment with liquid solvent, and finally an air blast. The output from the parts cleaning device can be stored in a tube or passed onto another machine for a further operation. A novel sampling valve is provided for sampling the output of the machine tool after the parts have been cleaned as well as an automatic shut off device for the machine tool.
