Ultrasonic cutting for lightweight construction: Today, many industries are driving weight reduction as an innovation driver. These include automotive technology, aerospace technology, and medical technology. Ultrasonic cutting offers a good prerequisite for the processing of the increasing number of materials used in lightweight construction.

Today, interchangeable blades enable efficient cutting of different materials, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber fabrics, foams, leather, artificial leather, rubber, cardboard or paper.

The wave frequency of ultrasound waves extends beyond the hearing threshold, about 20 kHz or more. The frequencies used for cutting are in the range of 20 kHz to 30 kHz. Ultrasonic waves are generated by a piezoelectric transducer that vibrates the cutting edge at high frequency, which is extremely effective in resonance and requires less power. As a result, when the heat load of the environment is low, the slices are neatly cut. There is no need to worry about the product sticking to the cutting edge. In addition, this process has other advantages, making it particularly suitable for cutting materials used in lightweight construction. In contrast to mechanical milling, ultrasonic cutting does not incur any material loss. No debris; The cutting edges are smooth and clean, so there is no need for trimming.

There is no need to use cutting media for operations such as water cutting. The cut will also be kept dry and tidy. The cutting depth can be adjusted arbitrarily, and in addition, the noise of ultrasonic cutting is also low. There is no need to take any anti-noise protection measures. In addition, unlike laser cutting, the surface of the cut object cannot meet special quality assessment standards; No burnt cutting edges or combustion gases will form. Due to its extremely low acquisition and operating costs compared to other processes, ultrasonic cutting is a practical process for many lightweight structural applications.
