Weber Ultrasonics Forum Highlights Cavitation and Megasonic Cleaning

Weber Ultrasonics AG held its first 360° Ultrasonics Technology Forum in Ettlingen on October 22, 2026. Almost 100 experts from Europe, Asia, and the USA took part, according to the company.

Cavitation was the central theme. Speakers addressed its physical fundamentals, its cleaning effects, and possible damage to component surfaces. Simulation-based modeling, control, and optimization of cavitation processes were also presented, along with online monitoring using Onda measurement systems. Weber Ultrasonics says it aims to make simulation-assisted methods a standard tool for designing and optimizing industrial ultrasonic cleaning systems.

The company also presented its strategic partnership with the Ultrasonic Division of Japan's Kaijo Corporation. Kaijo's megasonic portfolio spans 200 kHz to 3 MHz and covers precision cleaning plus batch and single-wafer cleaning for semiconductors, complementing Weber Ultrasonics' high-frequency offerings. Other agenda items included rod transducers and the Sonopower 4S generator family.

For equipment buyers, ask whether simulation-assisted design is available for your cleaning requirements, how cavitation damage risk is monitored in practice, and whether megasonic capability at frequencies up to 3 MHz fits your parts and cleanliness targets.
