Ultrasonic Systems Announces Enhancements To Lab Scale Coating System

Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. (USI), a manufacturer of high-performance ultrasonic spray coating equipment, has announced several improvements to its Prism BT Benchtop precision spray coating system. The Prism BT Benchtop incorporates USI’s proprietary, nozzle-less ultrasonic spray head technology to perform thin, uniform applications using a variety of coatings, inks and suspensions suitable for fuel cell manufacturing processes.

The Prism BT Benchtop system has a high speed X-Y gantry allowing for process speeds of up to 500 mm/second, enabling customers to apply very thin coating layers down to 10-20 nm. New software has also been released, featuring a next generation graphical user interface. Designed for lab scale and research and development coating requirements, the Prism BT Benchtop system features a usable spray area of up to 400 mm x 400 mm. Liquid delivery system options include USI’s Precision Metering Pump with servo motor liquid flow control and integrated liquid stirring, a research grade syringe pump and pressurised reservoirs of various sizes. Other system options include a substrate heater with vacuum hold and 90 degree pneumatic spray head rotation.

"We are pleased to announce these improvements to our Prism BT Benchtop system as we continue our commitment to offering coating solutions that meet the specific application requirements of our customers." said Stuart Erickson, President of Ultrasonic Systems.
