SonoAnalyzer beta
PowerUltrasonics SonoAnalyzer software makes the power of finite-element analysis accessible to all! Low cost, no specialist expertise required. Beta-testers wanted now!
SOLD OUT
Sonotrode (ultrasonic horn) design is difficult because sonotrodes must be resonant at the correct frequency to function correctly. Furthermore the mode-shape must be correct for the job the tool is intended to do. As a result, designs have traditionally been limited to certain tried-and-tested shapes, as shown in the examples from the ZVEI Handbook reproduced here.
To go beyond these known designs requires finite-element analysis (FEA), often repeated multiple times with different geometry to find a shape that works optimally. Although computing power has increased enormously in recent years, FEA remains relatively expensive because of the cost of software and the expert personnel required to operate it. The PowerUltrasonics SonoAnalyzer software is an easy way to access the power of finite-element analysis at low cost without specialist expertise.
- Choose from a range of pre-defined sonotrode shapes
- Easily change dimensions to suit your needs
- Calculate resonance modes and frequencies
- Automatically adjust dimensions to "tune" the sonotrode to the required frequency
- <For advanced users> Define your own sonotrode shapes to supplement the pre-defined range
PowerUltrasonics SonoAnalyzer beta will be available shortly for beta-testing. The initial version will be limited, with additional features being added regularly up until launch of the release version. I'm looking for about 20 users willing to test it and report their experiences. Users of non-Microsoft Windows PCs (Linux, Mac or Solaris) will be given preference. All those who apply to be beta testers will receive a discount voucher for purchase of the first production release version, planned for mid-2008.
Update: Thanks to all the 20 testers now registered. If you have already applied you should now be able to download the program (otherwise please contact me). I've now closed this offer, but I'd be happy to make special arrangements for anyone interested in testing the program on Mac or Solaris systems.

learning horn design for plastic welding
dear sir,
my company use a lot of ultrasonic horn for plastic welding, we still buy horn from ultrasonic company in taiwan.
i try to learn how it make then may possible to help my company to solve the urgent case.
thank your kind to offer program for me if you want.
Can you wait until August?
Hello,
One of my main aims in developing this program is to make it possible for non-expert users to design simple sonotrodes, so yes, I hope it will be useful to you.
But I wouldn't recommend beta software to beginners, and in any case the beta test program is now closed. I'm hoping to release the first production version of the software by about August this year.

Sonotrode Calculator
Dear Chris,
I would like to try Beta version of your software. I have worked on research projects related to Particle Physics and CNC machine tool Post-Processor applications in the past.
I am a Mechanical Engineer with a strong Control System Design background, please let me know if I could be of any help in your projects.
Thanks,
Regards,
Ashraf Suri.

SonoAnalyzer. Testing Program on Mac
Dear Chris Cheers:
We are a group of students of mecatronic Engineering from the ITESM CCM (Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey) in Mexico City and we are very interested in the SonoAnalyzer software, because we are developing and improving a ultrasonic welder and we are designing all the elements of the same.
The most part of the team use Mac, then we are interested in testing the program on Mac. Anyway, we appreciated that you can said to us how to get the software, because it will really help us a lot if we can have the access to the software becauce until now it has been very useful.
Thank you.
