Ultrasonic cutting processes commonly used in lightweight structures: Many industries today use weight reduction as a driver for innovation. Mainly including automotive technology, aerospace technology and medical technology. Ultrasonic cutting provides excellent prerequisites for the processing of an increasing number of materials used in lightweight construction.

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

The frequency of ultrasonic waves exceeds the hearing threshold, approximately 20kHz 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 blade at a high frequency, which is extremely effective in resonance and requires low power. This results in neat slices when the heat load of the environment is low. No need to worry about product sticking to the blade at all. In addition, this process offers other advantages and is therefore particularly suitable for cutting materials used in lightweight construction. Compared to mechanical milling, ultrasonic cutting does not cause any material loss. No chips; cut edges are smooth and clean so no trimming is required.

There is no need to use cutting media when performing operations such as water jet cutting. Cuts will also stay dry and tidy. The cutting depth can be adjusted arbitrarily. In addition, ultrasonic cutting has low noise. No noise protection measures are required. In addition, unlike laser cutting, the surface of the cut object cannot meet special quality assessment standards; there is no formation of burnt cutting edges or combustion gases. Ultrasonic cutting is a practical process for many lightweight structural applications due to its extremely low acquisition and operating costs compared to other processes.
