Ultrasonic cutting is a technical process for the pressure-free cutting of material with an ultrasonically excited blade.
Ultrasonic knife (cutting sonotrode)
The basic principles for cutting with an ultrasonically excited blade were researched in the 1980s at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology in Aachen, Germany. No fraying occurs with textiles.
Advantages of ultrasonic technology
The most significant advantages of ultrasonic cutting are fast and variable cuts, clean cutting surfaces and reduced downtime for cleaning the knives.
Depending on the frequency, the ultrasonic knife oscillates 30,000 times per second, which results in minimal surface friction between the product and the ultrasonic knife. For the user, this usually means that, on the one hand, no surface coating is necessary for the knife and, on the other hand, that no product residues adhere to the knife surface either.
The products convince by an exact and clean cut with an advantageous presentation for sale.
