Ultrasonic Tool Holders

TNECTION 30 November 2020

Today, super-alloy and composite materials are used in many industrial areas such as railway, automotive, space and marine. With the increasing use of these materials in industry, many problems have arisen in production. Instead of traditional production methods such as turning, drilling, grinding and milling of these materials, the use of new types of production methods such as laser, hybrid, ultrasonic is increasing day by day. The use of ultrasonic systems has increased in recent years. Ultrasonic systems can operate ultrasonically directly or can be used by mounting on a conventional method.

WHY ULTRASONIC TOOL HOLDER

With the use of high frequency ultrasonic vibration that passes from tool holders to tools, it can finely remove hard and brittle materials such as ceramics, prevent micro cracks caused by strong impacts between tools and materials. Therefore, it can apply high quality in improving the surface quality of the cutting edge and saving material usage.

Unlike the traditional machining method, the rotational motion of the tool and the additional vibration in ultrasonic machining are superimposed, reducing the cutting resistance by 40%. As the cutting resistance decreases, the tool life is also extended.
Since the movement of the tool is up-down vibration movement instead of rotation as in traditional machining, the cut parts are not limited to circular shapes, any shape can be removed.

Superior surface finish and low tool pressure
Both conductive and non-conductive materials can be processed.
Complex three-dimensional contours can be processed just as quickly as simple shapes.
An unconventional production process
It can produce high precision parts that are often difficult to machine.
This process does not create any heat affected zone and does not cause any chemical / electrical changes on the workpiece surface.
It provides improved performance, higher yield, economic advantages in lower scrap and operating costs, and improved efficiency.
These benefits become a valuable resource for scientists, engineers and designers developing tomorrow’s advanced technologies.
