Ney Ultrasonics SweepSONIK 2 72kHz Ultrasonic Generator 72-S2DG-6T-220V-A 220V

Ney Ultrasonics SweepSONIK 2 72kHz Ultrasonic Generator 72-S2DG-6T-220V-A 220V

The Ney Ultrasonics SweepSONIK 2 is a 72 kHz sweep-frequency ultrasonic generator designed to drive piezoelectric transducer arrays in industrial and precision ultrasonic cleaning systems. Operating at 220VAC single-phase, it delivers up to 240 watts of output power with continuously variable amplitude control. The sweep function modulates the drive frequency between 380 Hz and 530 Hz to distribute energy evenly across the cleaning bath, reducing standing waves and improving cleaning uniformity.

Applications

Ultrasonic generators like the SweepSONIK 2 are the power source for industrial and precision ultrasonic cleaning systems, converting line power into high-frequency electrical energy that drives piezoelectric transducers bonded to a cleaning tank. At 72 kHz, this generator produces a finer cavitation bubble than lower-frequency units (e.g., 25–40 kHz), making it well suited for delicate parts cleaning where aggressive scrubbing could cause surface damage — common applications include precision optics, semiconductor components, dental and medical instruments, jewelry, and small machined parts. The sweep function is especially valuable in production environments: by continuously varying the drive frequency, it prevents the formation of standing waves and hot spots in the tank, producing a more uniform cleaning action across the entire bath. The SweepSONIK 2 line was manufactured under multiple brand identities — Ney Ultrasonics, CAE Ultrasonics (headquartered in Jamestown, NY), and Blackstone Ultrasonics — reflecting ownership and licensing changes within the same product family. These generators remain in active use in laboratory, dental, jewelry, and light industrial cleaning applications.
