Three new industrial chairs from Dauphin

Ergonomic workplace design for industry

Workplaces beyond the traditional office environment pose special requirements for back prevention. These vary greatly depending on the field of activity and must be equipped accordingly to meet individual ergonomic needs. In addition to height-adjustable desks and back-friendly chairs, the environm…

The key criteria for stable and damage-free cleaning of the stents include a homogeneous sound field in addition to an optimally tuned ultrasound frequency and power. (Image source: Weber Ultrasonics)

Very high cleanliness requirements are placed on delicate implants such as stents, and cleaning must be very gentle, which can be ensured by ultrasonic cleaning. (Image source: Weber Ultrasonics)

For medical technology products such as instruments, implants, or other devices that require very high levels of cleanliness, ultrasonic cleaning is the standard procedure. (Image source: Weber Ultrasonics)

For products with an open-pored sponge structure, with combined porous and polished surfaces and components with very fine capillaries, ultrasound can be combined with pressure cycling. (Image source: Weber Ultrasonics)
