FAQs
-
AcoustoFab’s sound levitation can manipulate a variety of small solids and liquids, including seeds, microelectronics, and delicate droplets, of varying sizes (0.1-10 mm) and densities (1-4.5 g/cc), providing precise, contact-free handling tailored to each material's unique properties and requirements.
-
Our soundwave levitation achieves millimetre-level precision at sorting speeds of 15 to 30 items per second, allowing for highly accurate, efficient handling of delicate materials, and reducing errors and waste significantly.
-
AcoustoFab’s auditive levitation consumes around 200W per metre of belt width, significantly less than traditional air compressor systems, which typically use around 1kW. This energy efficiency reduces operational costs and environmental impact.
-
AcoustoFab’s technology uniquely combines patented acoustic holography with ultrasonic phased arrays, allowing precise, contact-free manipulation. This software atack and algorithms innovation enables customisable sorting, high accuracy, and flexibility in handling diverse materials.
-
