Branson Ultrasonics specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of plastics joining and metal welding equipment. The company develops solutions for precision cleaning, degreasing and processing. The company also has expertise in ultrasonic tooling and magnetostrictive and piezoelectric technology.
In chemical-assisted ultrasonic machining (CUSM), a chemically reactive abrasive fluid is used to ensure greater machining of glass and ceramic materials. Using an acidic solution, such as hydrofluoric acid, machining characteristics such as material removal rate and surface quality can be improved greatly compared to traditional ultrasonic ...
The Ultrasonic/Sonic Driller/Corer (USDC) is a drilling device that uses vibrations in order to hammer its bit through materials, as opposed to traditional drilling methods. The drill uses a piezoelectric actuator as its source of power, and utilizes a variety of 'horns' to vibrate, or hammer, its bit through the material.
Ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) is a metallurgical processing technique, similar to work hardening, in which ultrasonic energy is applied to a metal object. This technique is part of the High Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) processes. Other acronyms are also equivalent: Ultrasonic Needle Peening (UNP), Ultrasonic Peening (UP).
Branson is best known as the co-founder of the Virgin Group, which owns a massive portfolio of businesses, including in hotels, radio stations, airlines and even commercial space flight.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses ultrasound (usually from 20 to 40 kHz) to agitate a fluid, with a cleaning effect. Ultrasonic cleaners come in a variety of sizes, from small desktop units with an internal volume of less than 0.5 litres (0.13 US gal), to large industrial units with volumes approaching 1,000 litres (260 US gal).
Items bearing the Keen Kutter trademark are considered collectible. There were numerous items produced which have cross collectibility.Pocket knives, hand tools, railway locks, and advertising items from Keen Kutter are of interest to many collectors.
A standard frequency used by an ultrasonic thickness gauge is 5 MHz. Some ultrasonic coating thickness gauges require that a couplant in gel, paste or liquid format be used to eliminate gaps between the transducer and the test piece. One common couplant is propylene glycol, but there are many other options which can be substituted.
