Choosing a machine · 3 min readUMX Pro or ST series: two ways to build a 100-litre cleanerThe ST series is a floor tank with a separate generator cabinet; the UMX Pro is a cabinet with everything inside and a digital control panel. Same physics, different shop. Where each fits, with the overlapping models compared.
Operation and maintenance · 4 min readTroubleshooting: the machine runs but the parts are not cleanNine causes cover almost every case, and seven of them are the bath or the loading, not the machine. A checklist in the order that finds the fault fastest, from the sound of the tank to the generator display.
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.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 2 min readAnalog or digital generator?The same transducers, driven two different ways. What changes in daily use, and which one to specify.
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.
Ultrasonic cleaning basics · 2 min readHow ultrasonic cleaning actually worksTransducers turn electrical energy into pressure waves, the waves make cavitation bubbles, the bubbles collapse against the part. Step by step.
