An ultrasonic nozzle is a device that utilizes very high frequency vibration to produce extremely small and uniform droplets of liquid. Ultrasonic nozzles vibrate very much like a guitar string, but instead of displacing air and creating sound, it displaces liquid to create a mist.

1 Applications of Ultrasonic Nozzles

[edit] Applications of Ultrasonic Nozzles

[edit] Electronics Manufacturing

From applying flux to very precise areas on a circuit board to the application of carbon nanotubes on to touch-screens.

[edit] Medical Industry

Pharmaceuticals and stent coating both benefit greatly from the ability to apply polymers and other materials with little to no losses.

[edit] Renewable energy

Photovoltaic and dye-sensitized solar technology both need the application of liquids and coatings during the manufacturing process. With most of these substances being very expensive, any losses due to over-spray or quality control are minimized with the use of ultrasonic nozzles.

[edit] Nanotechnology

As manufacturing techniques get closer and closer to the sub-atomic level, dipping parts and components in a bath is no longer viable. Extremely accurate spray will be needed more and more as technology shrinks to the point where processes can no longer be seen with the naked eye.
