Gentle ultrasound for sensitive substrates

Sensitive components from the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries, as well as optical lenses and prisms, place the highest demands on parts cleaning: Tiny contaminations must be removed stably without impairing the surface. Weber Ultrasonic has developed an intelligent ultrasonic system for this purpose. More

Dirt-repellent surfaces

All surfaces in our daily lives become dirty over time with particles such as dust, pollen or microorganisms. Therefore, surfaces that can be easily cleaned are desirable. So-called super-hydrophobic surfaces, from which water drops simply roll off, are promising candidates with their self-cleaning properties. More

New extraction process - Testing of filmic impurities

When testing filmic/chemical residues, one task often remains unsolved: the simple, robust, fast and cost-effective testing of limit values with regard to filmic residues, which can be used in global supply chains for testing limit values or cleanliness specifications. The Fraunhofer IPA has developed a new method for this purpose. More
