Introduction to Ultrasonic Cutting Machine

 

 

Ultrasonic cutting machines are machines where the cutting blade or knife vibrates at a very high frequency. Ultrasonic cutting is a technique that uses cutting tools vibrating at high frequencies to cut through various materials. Applying ultrasonic vibration to the cutting knife creates a cutting effect with minimal friction.

 

Basic Parts of Ultrasonic Cutting Machine
 

Ultrasonic Generators
Ultrasonic Generator utilizes the 110 V AC or 220 V AC power supply electricity and turns it into a high voltage, high-frequency electricity signal. This signal is then fed to the transducers.

 

Ultrasonic Transducer
The ultrasonic transducer works as an ultrasonic converter. Its purpose is to take the high-frequency electrical signal and convert it into a mechanical high-frequency motion. It utilizes piezoelectric ceramic discs that expand on the application of electricity.
Transducers are completely sealed so as to avoid contact of electrical parts with water during washing.

 

Ultrasonic Booster
The purpose of an ultrasonic booster is to fine-tune the mechanical frequency obtained by the transducer. It also acts as a stationary intermediatory where the cutting tool can be clamped. Boosters are generally a one-piece part made of Titanium metal.

 

Cutting Tool
The cutting tool is also called the blade, cutting horn, or sonotrode. This tool vibrates on the high frequency provided by the booster. The most common material for the cutting tool design is Titanium since Titanium is very resonant and has high longevity.

 

Material Handling Equipment
Material handling equipment controls the movement of the food relative to the cutter or moves the cutter relative to the food. A good handling system is important to create precise cuts at the right location.

FAQ

 

Q: Which materials can be cut using ultrasonic cutting machines?

A: Ultrasonic cutting is particularly popular in the food industry. Products like cakes, confectionery bars, cheese, vanilla slices and wraps are ideal for ultrasonic cutting, as the process does not cause any deformation or damage to the product. The consistency of the food product does not affect the precision of the cut; cut products can be fresh, frozen, crumbly, creamy or composed of different layers or components.
Technical textiles, non-wovens and fabrics can also be efficiently cut using ultrasound, as the oscillating blade performs a dual function – not only cutting the material, but also sealing the edges at the same time.
The technology cuts easily through thick or elastic materials like plastics or rubber – such as window seals and even car tyres during manufacture – because the oscillating blade glides through the rubber with minimal pressure, thanks to the low levels of surface friction. The material melts along the adjoining surface, enabling the blade to glide effortlessly with virtually no resistance.

Q: What factors should be considered when using ultrasonic cutting machines for food cutting?

A: Factors to be considered in the food cutting process:
Initial Vibration Timing
Ultrasonic cutting horns can be challenging to design and manufacture due to the narrow blade designs required. Vibrating the tools at full amplitude while not under a load can sometimes cause premature failure. Therefore, the signal from the ultrasonic generator should be timed properly with the automated machinery so that the tools reach full vibration just before the cutting edge meets the food product. Vibrating prior to contact is necessary to avoid deformation of the food product that would be caused by contact from a nonvibrating cutting surface.
Vibrational Amplitude
The term ‘Amplitude’ describes the microscopic distance of vibration of the cutting surface of the horn. Amplitude is adjusted mechanically by the booster, as well as digitally by the generator. The degree of amplitude has an effect on the cutting process and must be adjusted to suit the needs of each application.
Softer foods and those containing a variety of textures typically require higher amplitudes. Examples are:
Soft candies and nougat.
Soft cheeses and those containing nuts or pieces of fruit.
Products that contain various hard and soft ingredients such as sandwiches and wraps.
Cakes and breads.
Firm food products often have lower amplitude requirements. Examples are:
Frozen foods.
Firm cheeses.
Vegetables.
Cutting Velocity
The speed at which the cutting tools enter and proceed through the material being cut is also a process variable that should be optimized for each application. It is sometimes necessary to penetrate products with a crust slowly to avoid deformation and then increase the velocity of the knife within the product in order to achieve the best cutting results.
Final Vibration Timing
Depending upon the consistency of the material being cut, the finished slices may tend to stick to the side of the cutting horn after the ultrasonic vibration has been turned off. Therefore, maintaining the ultrasonic vibration while the tools are being withdrawn from the product can utilize the friction-free properties to release the cut slices more cleanly and consistently.

Q: What are the advantages of ultrasonic cutting machines compared to laser cutting machines?

Q: What are the safety precautions for ultrasonic cutting machine use?

A: Wash the outside of the cutting machine with water to prevent water from entering the inside of the cutting machine, resulting in danger.
When cutting, please maintain the correct operating posture in a safe environment. Be alert when making a cutting action to avoid injury caused by sliding.
Do not point the cutting edge of the cutting machine to the face and other parts of the person.
Do not install non-standard blades, which may cause the machine to not vibrate or reduce the performance of the cutting machine, and it will bring you danger.
When the blade is removed, the ultrasonic cutter stops working, otherwise the blade may suddenly break and fly out.
When you stop working, remember to turn off the power.
Regularly remove debris and foreign matter stuck at the front end of the cutting handle to maintain the normal function of the cutting machine. (First confirm that the metal vibration part in front of the handle has been completely cooled, then turn the front cover in a counterclockwise direction to do the cleaning action.)
Place the machine in a safe place that is not accessible to children, and remember to cover the front handle cover after use to avoid unnecessary damage.
Do not place the cutting machine in direct sunlight or place various items on the machine. Do not touch the front of the handle until the cutter is still operating or just stopped, to avoid burns.
If abnormal phenomena such as abnormal sounds or smoke are found during the cutting work, please stop the operation immediately and notify the manufacturer to overhaul. When the operation finds that the front end of the handle produces an abnormal sound, stop the operation immediately and check if the blade screws are loose and reset or replace the blade. When the cutting operation is continuously operated, the hotener will be burnt. It is better to let the machine cool down before operating, which will help to extend the life of the vibrator.
After each cut, clean the residue around the handle and the blade to keep the cutting machine in good condition.

Q: What is the working principle of ultrasonic cutting?

A: Like ultrasonic welding, ultrasonic cutting uses a sonotrode, an oscillating tool that creates ultrasonic vibrations and applies this vibrational energy to the workpiece. In cutting processing, this vibrating tool is called a cutting sonotrode.
In ultrasonic cutting, the blade glides through the workpiece almost effortlessly, thanks to the oscillating motion created by the vibrations. The ultrasonic cutting knife faces minimal resistance from the material, hence producing a clean cut edge without deformation or smudge.
The energy transmitted by the ultrasound is the only energy that melts the workpiece. This is a huge advantage to food processing factories as this technology can produce clean cuts to pressure and temperature-sensitive products.

Q: What are the application industries of ultrasonic cutting?

Q: What is the difference between laser cutting and ultrasonic cutting?

A: Different principles
Principle of laser cutting
Principle of laser cutting Laser cutting uses a focused high-power-density laser beam to illuminate the workpiece, causing the material to be irradiated to rapidly melt, vaporize, ablate or reach the ignition point, while blowing the molten material through a high-speed air stream coaxial with the beam, thereby Achieve the cutting of the workpiece. Laser cutting is one of the hot cutting methods.
Principle of ultrasonic cutting
When ultrasonic machining is used for cutting, the front and rear vibrations generated by the ultrasonic vibrator mounted behind the main shaft are transmitted to the outer circumference of the grinding wheel blade through the base of the main shaft and the grinding wheel blade, and are converted into expansion motion in the radial direction. By this vibration conversion method, the desired vibration direction required for ultrasonic machining can be obtained.
