Grinding brittle-hard materials such as glass and ceramics plays a key role in high-tech industries such as optics, semiconductor and medical technology. However, the exceptional hardness and wear resistance of these materials require highly precise and efficient machining technologies.
VibroCut ultrasonic optimizes grinding processes through targeted ultrasonic assistance, reduces machining forces and minimizes material chipping.This significantly improves productivity, process reliability and surface quality. Use the potential of this innovative technology and increase the efficiency of your production.
The VibroCut ultrasonic tool holders set the grinding tool into a high-frequency ultrasonic movement, which modifies the process kinematics and the mechanisms of action during material removal. The ultrasound sets each abrasive grain into an oscillating motion, optimizing the contact between tool and workpiece and generating a defined material removal.
Ultrasonic assistance reduces friction and significantly reduces the mechanical machining forces. This not only results in less tool wear, but also minimizes stresses in the workpiece, reducing microcracks and material chipping. In addition, the multi-axis movement of the abrasive grains causes worn grain tips to flake off in a controlled manner, resulting in the continuous formation of new, sharp cutting edges.
Another decisive effect is the self-cleaning of the sanding tool: deposits are effectively reduced by the ultrasonic vibrations, which prevents the tool from clogging and maintains the sanding performance over a longer period of time. The precise control of these effects is ensured by an integrated ultrasonic sensor and a highly dynamic control system. This enables constant process stability and the highest surface quality – even with the most demanding materials and complex component geometries.
VibroCut ultrasoniccombines strength and precision. Thanks to its enormous power, high amplitudes are achieved and even larger grinding tools are set in ultrasonic motion. An integrated sensor measures the ultrasound directly. Highly dynamic control of frequency and amplitude ensures consistent movement characteristics and raises the precision of ultrasound for grinding brittle-hard materials to a new dimension.
With VibroCut ultrasonic, users benefit from a significant increase in efficiency, precision and cost-effectiveness in grinding processes for brittle-hard materials.
The ultrasonic assistance optimizes grinding processes and reduces machining forces by more than 50%. This opens up great potential for increasing productivity. The controlled process leads to improved surface quality and reduces the risk of micro-cracks and material chipping, which often occur with brittle-hard materials. The gentle process improves the machining of challenging materials and sensitive components. Thanks to the self-cleaning effects and the sharpening of the cutting grains, the grinding tool also remains easy to cut for longer.
Ultrasonic-assisted grinding enables users to meet the growing demands for precision and efficiency and to achieve significant cost benefits.
Another advantage is the flexibility of VibroCut ultrasonic. The system can be integrated into both new and existing machines. As a result, companies benefit from rapid implementation and a sustainable increase in process reliability and productivity.
