HCT-0320 with MCT-1200

Its unique single point sensing design allows localized measurements to generate true 3-dimensional acoustic maps of the cleaning tank. For many ultrasonic cleaning processes, achieving a uniform acoustic field is challenging. This is because there is a broad range of process variables that affect the acoustic field distribution including transducer-to-transducer variation, gas concentration, temperature gradients, flow rate, among others.
