Power
Ultrasonics is applied to all areas of processing and manufacture
including plastics, food cutting and processing, high performance
materials for aerospace, automotive and general industries. |
We are now trading as InControl Ultrasonics Ltd. FFR Ultrasonics is the UK's leading innovator in Patented High Power Ultrasonic
Technology. A completely independent company, FFR offers the complete service in ultrasonic technology in the fields of plastic welding, cutting and fluidsonics (industrial sonochemistry
or processing), with particular expertise in customer application development, R&D and consultancy.
FFR Ultrasonics was founded in 1985 and has almost 20 years of experience to call on.
Dr Frank Rawson as
FFR's innovator has patented several unique ultrasonic processes giving
FFR a position of prominence in leading ultrasonic innovation in Europe. |

PLASTIC WELDING SYSTEMS
Available range:
20kHz from 500 to 4000 watts, 35kHz at 500 watts with integrated
generators. The 20 kHz models are suitable for a wide
range of general purpose welding, while the 35kHz unit is ideal for
precision welding of delicate parts.
DELTA 2000 and MINI

TRAINING COURSES ON
HIGH POWER ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY
Courses
run in March, May and November each year. Also available: in‑company courses
tailored to specific needs.
THE COURSE has been planned to cater for designers and engineers with little
or no knowledge of ultrasonics.
BASIC 2 DAY COURSE
Introduction to ultrasonics
practice & theory, common applications including welding of metals & plastics,
types of equipment etc.
Using
ultrasonic equipment:‑ workshop & practical hands‑on experience, using several
different welding systems.
FLUIDSONICS
Fluidsonics is industrial scale sonochemistry ‑ high power applied to fluids
to cause a change in state of particles, molecules initial chemical reactions,
degas liquids by the action of cavitation and jet streaming.
Industrial processes and major water plc�s are increasingly using ultrasonic
energy to improve the performance of catalytic reactions and liquid processes
eg particle size reduction, spraying, atomising, mixing, emulsifying and
separating liquid and solids. A range of standard and customised systems are
available for these sonochemical applications.
|
|
SPRAYING |
|
|
|
|
Spraying nozzles for fluids and water. Other systems
available for atomising molten metals and similar substances.
|
|
|
CLEANING
Ultrasonic cleaning, either aqueous or solvent based, scrubs the surface by
ultrasonic implosive and cavitation forces. This results in improved cleaning
and decontamination even on concealed surfaces that would be difficult or
impossible to clean by any other means. This process offers advantages in a
wide range of applications such as: optical, dental, precision engineering and
general laboratory work.
IT MAY LOOK CLEAN, BUT IS IT ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN?
AUTO HORN TUNER MODEL
AHT9801 FOR HORN MANUFACTURE
|
|
|
|
For
optimum power transfer for successful thermoplastic welding, the HORNS
must be tuned to the system frequency and free from cracks or spurious
resonances. The design and manufacture of these horns is usually a
specialist service but with the FFR Ultrasonics Auto Horn Tuner it is
possible to fine tune simple horns and also check horns for defects. A
must for volume users manufacturing and tuning horns, the AHT 9801 can
soon pay for itself in reduced tooling costs and as a diagnostic aid.
