With more power, larger amplitudes, and an intelligent, sensor-based control, VibroCut ultrasonic sets a new standard for industrial applications. Thus, traditional machining processes become innovative manufacturing methods.
Ultrasound for highest precision and efficiency The VibroCut ultrasonic tool holders put the tool into high-frequency ultrasonic motion, thereby specifically influencing the process kinematics. The result: reduced machining forces, increased cutting values, longer tool life, and enhanced process reliability.
Typical application areas include grinding quartz glass, ceramics, or drilling and deep drilling in aluminum or difficult-to-machine materials such as nickel-based alloys. Even in complex and challenging series applications, VibroCut ultrasonic ensures stable, reproducible quality.
Flexible: Machine-compatible and retrofittable
The system can be integrated without restrictions into existing machine tools or robotic systems and supports all common tool and spindle interfaces. The contactless energy transfer via a stator enables automatic tool changes. The ultrasonic generator can be modularly supplemented with its own control cabinet or fully integrated, ideal for new installations or uncomplicated retrofitting during ongoing operations.
Powerful: The new generation of ultrasonic machining
Three characteristics fundamentally distinguish VibroCut ultrasonic from the market – and that with a typical payback period of under one year:
• More power with lower machining forces:
High power reserves open up new machining possibilities such as deep hole drilling, drilling, and recently also rotary friction welding with reduced machining forces and better seam quality.
• Larger amplitude:
An optimized design allows up to 50 µm amplitude for maximum energy input into the machining process and ensures more machining performance.
• Sensor-based control:
The ultrasonic characteristics are measured directly at the tool holder in real-time and actively adjusted every 150 µs. This guarantees consistently stable machining conditions and consistently high quality, especially in the brittle-hard range with significantly more stable process behavior.
Applications and Industries
• Drilling / Deep Drilling: Higher cutting values, better centering, secure chip removal, less burr formation
• Grinding brittle-hard materials: Higher surface quality, fewer micro-cracks, longer tool life with integrated tool monitoring
• Rotary Friction Welding: Higher welding speed with simultaneously increased tensile strength and elasticity of the seams
Target industries include optics, aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, medical technology, and automotive – everywhere where highest precision and process reliability are required.
