Parts and contaminants · 4 min readCleaning precision electronics without damageWhich electronic components tolerate ultrasound and which do not, and how frequency, power, time, support and a sample test keep a cleaning process safe.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 3 min readCavitation: how a collapsing bubble cleans a surfaceUltrasound does not scrub. It makes millions of microscopic bubbles grow and collapse against the part every second, and the collapse does the work. What happens in the liquid, and what it means for the settings you choose.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 3 min readTransducers and generators: what drives the tankThe generator makes the electrical signal, the transducers turn it into motion of the tank wall. How the two are matched, why the transducer count grows with tank size, and when an immersible box beats bonded transducers.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 3 min readSweep and degas: what the two buttons on a digital generator doSweep moves the frequency a little either side of nominal so no part sits in a dead spot; degas drives dissolved air out of a fresh bath so cavitation can start. When to use each, and what happens if you do not.Process and parameters · 2 min read28 kHz or 40 kHz: which frequency cleans your part?Lower frequency hits harder, higher frequency reaches further. The part, the soil and the surface decide.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 2 min readWhat is ultrasonic cleaning?Sound above hearing range, a liquid, and millions of collapsing bubbles: the short version of how an ultrasonic cleaner works and what it is good at.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 17 min readUltrasonic cleaning explained: waves, cavitation, generators, tanks and featuresThe long version: how ultrasonic waves make cavitation, what frequency and temperature do, how generators and transducers are built, and which features matter in a tank.
Process and parameters · 2 min readParticle size removal versus ultrasonic frequencyLower frequencies make bigger, more energetic bubbles for heavy soil; higher frequencies make smaller, gentler bubbles that do better on fine particles. How to choose between 28 and 40 kHz.Let's find the right fit
