How Do Ultrasonic Cleaners Work?

From All-Spec Industries
 

 
An ultrasonic cleaner is a metal container that has ceramic piezo transducers attached to the side or the bottom of the tank. These transducers convert one form of energy to another. They also change size when an electrical signal excites it. When the transducer is excited it increases in size

Products & Services
Dispensing valve systems are designed to provide precise fluid dispensing depending on applications. The dispensed output can be a bead, dot, flat spray, round spray, or fill (potting). The type of dispensing pattern from dispensing valve systems is determined by valve design and is dependent on dispensed fluid properties.  Search by Specification | Learn more about Dispensing Valve Systems
Precision dispensing needle valves are designed to provide precise fluid dispensing depending on applications. The dispensed output can be in the form of a bead, dot or fill. The valve dispenses fluid when the activator (for example, air) acts on a piston, which shifts the spool or needle into the open position.
