The Ascamm private foundation, technology centre based in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona), has promoted the creation of Ultrasion, a new company created for innovation in industrial applications based on ultrasound.

Ultrasion is born of the strategic alliance between six majority partners who believe in the potential of the ultrasound as a competitive advantage: Ascamm Foundation, Fundació Cetemmsa and Plastiasite, who bring their expertise in applied r & d; Mateu & Solé SA, manufacturer of machinery for thermoplastics; MECASONIC, multinational creator of welding methods; and Fipsa, investor partner.

Also, as part of its policy of promoting domestic entrepreneurship, Ascamm has enabled that 12 of its researchers, who have been involved in r & d, to participate in Ultrasion as partners shareholders.

Ultrasion was created with "an excellent perspective of growth that will allow you to position itself in the market in the short term"

Ultrasion aims to transfer the results of r & d in the field of high power ultrasonic, mostly carried out by Ascamm to the industrial sector. Its mission will be to exploit this knowledge, technologies and products developed for the improvement and innovation of the manufacturing processes.

The new company has "an excellent perspective of growth that will allow you to position itself in the market in the short term", explains Ascamm. With an initial investment of 2.7 million euros in r & d until 2013, aimed at completing the projects underway, an estimated turnover to rise to EUR 7.6 million in 2015.

The Constitution of Ultrasion has the support of the Ministry of science and innovation of Spain, in the framework of the Innocash program, a public-private initiative of valuation and financing of r & d.

Products Ultrasion

Products and services based on ultrasound, and that Ultrasion will be made available in the industry, are results of a series of r & d projects carried out with the support of public programmes and self-financed. Its initial product portfolio focus two strategic sectors: microinjection and rapid manufacturing.

Fabrizio Di Manno, director of Mecasonic Spain, shows the sonotrodo designed for the micro and mini Sonorus injection machine.

For the second half of 2010, scheduled the start of the marketing of Sonorus, the first injection machine that uses ultrasound as a primary source of energy. With its exclusive design for manufacture of micro and mini parts, the machine has advantages over the current solutions available in the market, such as greater energy efficiency, reduction of raw waste and greater accuracy of the final piece.

On the other hand, now in final development phase, Ultrasion carried soon market a new solution for direct manufacture of end pieces and prototypes from the UDM (Ultrasound Deposition Modeling) technology. This technology consists of the continuous deposition of layers, without moulds, from digital imaging to produce a piece. Suitable for the production of small series and parts highly personalised, patented by Ascamm solution consists of a device that uses ultrasonic energy to melt the plastic, adaptable to any machine of numerical control.
