Operating Experience

Selectable modes

Delicate

Reduced amplitude and conservative exposure.

Normal

Balanced everyday textile-cleaning sequence.

Heavy

More aggressive mode only for compatible loads.

Mixed Load

Sensor-driven zoning and sequencing.

Refresh

Light soil / odor / finishing cycle.

Adaptive

Load response used to adjust operating sequence.

Control Interface

Ten control / status functions to define

The final interface may use physical buttons, sealed switches, touch controls, indicators or a combination. The website shows functions, not a frozen hardware layout.

Public-Safe Architecture

How the system works without exposing proprietary geometry

Open How-It-Works

Load Map

Identify load geometry, density and anomalous objects.

Wet

Introduce controlled mist or thin-film fluid.

Agitate

Apply zoned acoustic cleaning within fabric limits.

Filter

Move suspended contamination toward capture.

Finish

Rinse/condition and transfer to moisture-reduction phase.

Safety Architecture

Interlocks, warnings and safe-state behavior

Occupancy prohibition

No human or animal may be inside; presence detection inhibits acoustic drive.

Door interlock

Opening the door removes acoustic drive and motion commands.

Foreign-object detection

Unexpected metal/dense objects trigger reduced mode, pause or user alert.

Load imbalance

Mechanical motion remains inhibited or reduced when unsafe imbalance is detected.

Thermal protection

Transducer and driver temperatures remain inside safe operating region.

Acoustic fault detection

Abnormal impedance, resonance or field behavior triggers derating.

Fluid-level verification

Acoustic modes requiring fluid coupling cannot run without validated coupling state.

Leak protection

Leak/moisture sensors protect electronics and floor environment.

Service calibration empty-only

Engineering test modes require an empty chamber and service access state.
