Individualisation is a major trend. As such, more and more components are now being produced in small series. However, these small series often have quite different requirements in terms of component cleaning. To meet these requirements both effectively and efficiently, Weber Ultrasonics has developed an innovative multifrequency ultrasonic concept with vacuum-resistant submersible transducers for chamber cleaning units. With this trendsetting new solution, cleaning tasks that previously required two different cleaning systems can now be performed with just one.

More and more parts manufacturers are today required to offer flexible production of small series. Component cleanliness is also a key quality criterion in this regard. Chamber cleaning units with ultrasonic systems are often used to meet corresponding specifications. Since the frequency of the sound waves generated by the ultrasonic generator is the key factor in terms of cleaning efficiency, cleaning systems are generally designed for one specific process. If the cleaning task or the parts spectrum then changes, the existing system is often not capable of delivering optimum cleaning results. Versatile cleaning units are therefore required.

With its SONOPOWER 3S system for 25/50 kHz, Weber Ultrasonics, one of the world's leading manufacturers of ultrasonic components, presents an innovative ultrasonic solution that now also enables use of multifrequency ultrasound in vacuum chamber cleaning systems. The flexibility and range of possible applications of these systems is thus considerably increased. Vacuum-tight submersible transducers with switchable ultrasonic frequencies of 25 and 50 kHz ensure optimised cleaning efficiency for both coarse and fine cleaning. As a result, cleanliness specifications can be met efficiently and with a high level of process stability with a single unit, even with a changing or altered parts range. This advantage particularly pays off in component manufacturing in small series, which previously often required two cleaning units. The basis of this innovative and trendsetting system solution is the redesigned SONOPOWER 3S multifrequency ultrasonic generator with up to 3,000 W power output. The innovative plug-and-play device is fully digital and impresses not only through its maximum process stability and power output, but also its exemplary ease-of-use.
