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.

FFR Ultrasonics run training seminars on all aspects of power ultrasonics including fluidsonics, horn design and manufacture
