FAQ

1. How does the ultrasonic cutter work?

The ultrasonic cutter is composed of a "transducer" that generates vibration and an "oscillator" that drives the transducer. A piezoelectric element is used for the transducer. When voltage is applied, the piezoelectric element displaces the transducer by a few micrometers. Periodically applying voltage generates vibration. Each object has its special frequency, by which the object is stable and easy to vibrate. By adding an external force that corresponds to that special frequency, a small force can obtain a large vibration. This phenomenon is called resonance. In the ultrasonic cutter, the piezoelectric element generates a force that resonates the whole body, from the transducer to the blade tip, generating a large vibration at the tip. The oscillator periodically generates voltage to resonate and drive the transducer. Using a component of the ultrasonic cutter called the horn to wring the cross-sectional area, from the piezoelectric element to the blade tip, can obtain a larger vibration.

2. Manufacturing examples:

The HSPC30 is designed to be built into apparatuses, such as robots and automated machines, as a cutting tool for cutting and deburring.
ON/OFF operation and amplitude change can be performed from the outside. The HSPC30 can output error signals, such as overload notifications. (Specifications vary according to the model.)

It can be used to:

+ Cut vehicle interior materials
+ Cut carbon fiber prepreg for aircrafts
+ Debur and gate-cut resin-molded products

+ Half-cut multilayer materials

It can also be used easily as a hand tool

Other examples of how the HSPC30 can be used:

+ To clean fossils
+ To cut breads
+ To cut geological sections (clay layers)
+ To remove rust, paint, and extraneous matter
+ To edge process film materials
(rounding of angular parts)
