New high frequency generators and transducer systems up to 1 MHz

With its innovative 1 MHz and 500 kHz ULTRASONIC MICRO CLEANING (UMC) module generators, Weber Ultrasonics has created the ideal conditions for efficient and reproducible cleanliness in micro and nano- technical production. Photovoltaics, semiconductor technology, precision and micro optics, medical technology, the LIGA process, microsystems and nanotechnology – wherever highly sensitive surfaces and finely structured components are to be cleaned, the UMC module generators and matching transducer systems demonstrate their strengths: The removal of even the finest nano-scaled particles and film contamination from surfaces and from troughs within microstructures without causing damage or leaving any residue.

With power outputs of 250 or 500 Watt, the UMC generators are able to optimally adapt to individual cleaning requirements. At the same time, innovative high-tech components make it possible to achieve maximum performance while requiring a minimum of space: up to six 1 MHz modules can be integrated in one 19" housing. As a result, one single housing can hold a cleaning system with a total power output of up to 3000 Watt, thereby saving in production area.

The use of the very latest control technology in the new UMC generator guarantees maximum stability of all process-relevant parameters. The resulting high degree of efficiency of UMC cleaning systems guarantees absolutely reliable, reproducible and yet gentle removal of contamination.

In order to tackle a wide range of cleaning tasks in a safe and efficient manner, Weber Ultrasonics has added the 250 kHz module generator to its tried and tested SONIC DIGITAL series of digital ultrasonic generators.

Weber Ultrasonics weld & cut GmbH | 07.2009

On 1 July 2009 Dieter Weber, Christian Unser and Andreas Schoch founded WEBER Ultrasonics weld & cut GmbH, based in Karlsbad-Ittersbach, Germany. The aim of this strategic alliance is to bring together the ultrasonic experience and extensive knowledge of all the business partners involved in the new company for the ultrasonic welding sector and to utilise it while exploiting the maximum synergy effects.

In Andreas Schoch and Christian Unser we have gained two internationally experienced application engineers. Both gentlemen have spent many years in leading positions at a renowned German ultrasonics manufacturer and have many years of extensive experience in the industry.

In cooperation with Weber Ultrasonics, WUW will develop and market high-grade ultrasonic welding components and machines for welding thermoplastic materials. The typical areas of application of WUW are non-wovens, plastics, packaging and cut & seal. WUW provides its customers with a full service beginning with project planning and ending with production support. Our key service areas are engineering, consulting, testing, pilot production manu- facturing, commissioning and machine design, right through to global after sales. Weber Ultrasonics weld & cut GmbH is ISO-certified (9001:2008).

Multifrequency ultrasonic technology makes component cleaning more efficient and powerful

Fewer cleaning units due to more frequencies

Optical components for sensors and sensor solutions are subject to the strictest quality requirements. And component cleanness plays a decisive part here. To achieve the necessary cleanness economically, SICK AG decided to invest in new ultrasonic cleaning technology. With the use of innovative multifrequency generators and transducers, a single cleaning system now performs tasks for which two units and time-consuming manual cleaning were previously needed. This has not only made component cleaning more economical, it also saves space and offers greater flexibility and safety.

New laser-welded ultrasonic submersible transducer

Greater precision and cleanness for ultrasonic cleaning

The new SONOSUB submersible transducer by Weber Ultrasonics GmbH is designed to further improve the quality of component cleaning. The company achieves this by using state-of-the-art production techniques such as laser welding. This process enables the production of submersible ultrasonic transducers from many materials while minimizing distortion and offering dimensional accuracy previously unheard of. The automated and
reproducible robotic welding process also guarantees a significantly higher level of quality in the welded joint itself.

New flexibility for ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic generators and submersible transducers with up to three frequencies in a single device

Ultrasound is used for many varied tasks, including industrial component cleaning, laboratory applications and product maintenance. A key factor for the cleaning effect is the frequency of the sound waves generated by the ultrasonic generator.Up to now it has been necessary to use several generators and transducers with different frequencies for coarse, fine and superfine cleaning, as well as for a diverse range of part sizes and shapes.The new digital multifrequency series by Weber Ultrasonics makes this a thing of the past. The innovative modular generator and transducer is available in a dual or triple frequency unit with 40, 80 and 120 kHz.

Weber Ultrasonics - Room for Expansion

Five years after the company was founded, Weber Ultrasonics GmbH has successfully established itself on the market as a worldwide supplier of ultrasonic components. With a new building the company has now created the best preconditions for further growth.

It had become too crowded at Weber Ultrasonics. The rooms that had been rented for the past five years at the company location in Karlsbad-Ittersbach were just too small. Everything has changed now and since August 2003, Weber Ultrasonics has a brand new 16,684 square foot, two-storey building at its disposal only a stone’s throw away from the old company building. On September 12 the architecturally attractive new building was officially inaugurated and is now under the management of Nathalie Etienne, daughter of Manager Dieter Weber. Among the 150 guests attending the inauguration were politicians, as well as partners of the company and numerous customers.
