Intraduction — Ultrasound: A technology that demands precision and control


Across many industrial and scientific fields, ultrasound has become essential. It is used to cut delicate materials, accelerate chemical reactions, clean complex components, and trigger cavitation in sonochemistry. It is also used in therapeutic ultrasound in medtech, as well as in in vitro devices for the controlled manipulation of biological systems.

This versatility makes ultrasound a powerful tool—but also one of great sensitivity. Its vibratory behavior depends on a set of dynamic variables that are difficult to observe directly: resonance frequency, true amplitude, mechanical load, energy absorption, fluid viscosity, material hardness, thermal evolution, transducer aging, and more.

These phenomena constantly evolve—sometimes within milliseconds—making ultrasonic process control particularly demanding. This leads to a key question:

How can we understand, control, diagnose, and trace an ultrasonic system with precision?

This is exactly the need addressed by NexTgen®, the software platform developed by SinapTec.

NexTgen® at the Heart of the SinapTec Ultrasonic System


In a SinapTec ultrasonic system, three elements work together to ensure process performance:

🔹 The transducer, which generates the ultrasonic vibration applied to the material or medium
🔹 The electronic generator, which powers the transducer and regulates energy delivery
🔹 NexTgen® software, which drives the system, supervises vibratory behavior, and ensures process traceability

NexTgen® is the central piece connecting these components into a coherent system: it controls the generator, analyzes the transducer response, and provides full visibility into the process state. This integrated architecture simplifies adjustments, enhances safety, and streamlines integration into OEM equipment as well as research environments.

NexTgen® — Making the Invisible Visible in Ultrasound


NexTgen® is designed to drive, supervise, diagnose, and optimize the behavior of SinapTec ultrasonic generators. It has supported for several years:

🔹 OEM integrating ultrasonic modules into special-purpose machinery

🔹 Physico-chemical laboratories studying vibratory phenomena and sonochemistry

🔹 Medtech and Biotech teams working on protocols requiring extreme precision

🔹Industrial users running cutting, cleaning, dispersion, or liquid-processing operations assisted by ultrasound

Thanks to its professional architecture, NexTgen® transforms an ultrasonic system into a readable, controllable, and traceable process—enabling both performance optimization and uncertainty reduction.

Why Dedicated Software Is Essential for Ultrasonic Processes


Unlike conventional mechanical or thermal technologies, an ultrasonic system reacts dynamically to its environment.
Without proper software tools, it becomes:

🔹Impossible to explain performance loss or vibratory drif

🔹Difficult to reproduce results in the lab or in production

🔹Complex to diagnose anomalies on an OEM line

🔹Risky to work without traceability in medtech or regulated environments

🔹Dangerous to integrate a generator without precise resonance point control

NexTgen® addresses these challenges by providing a detailed understanding of vibratory behavior and complete control of the ultrasonic process.
