Product Information

Ultrasonic machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that removes material from the surface of a part through high frequency, low amplitude vibrations of a tool against the material surface in the presence of fine abrasive particles. The tool travels vertically or orthogonal to the surface of the part at amplitudes of 0.05 to 0.125mm (0.002 to 0.005 in.). [1] The fine abrasive grains are mixed with water to form a slurry that is distributed across the part and the tip of the tool. Typical grain sizes of the abrasive material range from 100 to 1000, where smaller grains (higher grain number) produce smoother surface finishes. [1] The short answer is: probably not. The Sonic Saber isn’t a necessity by any means. Your trusty side cutters can perform the support removal and get results that are almost as good in most cases. Even with the Sonic Saber available to me, I still found myself reaching for the side cutters rather than plugging in the Sonic Saber. In this article, you will learn about the basics of Ultrasonic wave cutting machines, how does an ultrasonic wave cutting machine work, and the various applications of this method. What is an Ultrasonic Cutting Machine? Subtractive manufacturing process Schematic of ultrasonic machining process An ultrasonic drill from 1955 In the food industry, ultrasonic cutters are utilized to cut through a wide variety of food items. These include:

But I will say this: there were times when I should have grabbed the Sonic Saber. For my review of the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K, I printed some very delicate models. In a couple of instances, I broke those with my side cutters while trying to remove supports. If I had used the Sonic Saber, that wouldn’t have happened. The Sonic Saber has a fine blade that zips right through resin. It yields nice, clean cuts that don’t damage the surrounding material. Because it doesn’t really on heat and doesn’t require any physical force, the blade can cut through resin without risking damage to any of the delicate features attached to supports. How well does it work?

Disclaimer: Phrozen provided me with the Sonic Saber free of charge, but this review is as unbiased as possible. Phrozen did not pay for this review and these are entirely my own thoughts. What is an ultrasonic cutter? 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.

A knife blade vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency can easily slice into the material, cutting it precisely without producing any waste. In collaboration with Madworks, a Taiwanese company focused on gunpla hobby tools, Phrozen just released a completely new product: the Sonic Saber . This is an ultrasonic cutter designed to make 3D-printed model supports easy to remove. To help you decide if it is worth adding to your toolkit, I reviewed the Sonic Saber. 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 To keep up with the competition, you need to use the latest trends and innovations. Ultrasonic cutters are one of these innovations which has become a game-changer in recent years.

Ultrasonic Cutter SONOFILE

The ultrasonic food cutting process creates a high-quality, clean, and flat cut slices throughout the length of the food products. This makes it the ideal choice to prove high aesthetics to the food items. No Smearing Equipment comes with compatible software that can be used to set up the cutting and cleaning operation. An ultrasonic cutter can automatically cut through the food items at a very high speed, which you can set through your material handling equipment. Safety While slicing, conventional cutting methods often apply pressure directly to the food items which leads to smearing of the food products. However, an ultrasonic cutting machine has vibrating blades which apply linear as well as perpendicular pressure. This avoids smearing of food during slicing. No Shattering

Conventional food cutting processes often lead to smearing of food items due to high friction. Ultrasonic vibration cutting of food products removes this hindrance. Additionally, ultrasonic cutting provides the option to create very thin slices of food. How Does Ultrasonic Cutting Work?New titanium horn oscillator, 20% higher vibration intensity andstandard replacement blades. Please consult us for evaluation of the material you wish to cut. Also, we offer a USW-334 loaner unit for a small weekly fee for your own evaluation. 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. What are the Benefits of Using an Ultrasonic Cutting Robot? The working of the ultrasonic vibration cutters takes place by utilizing multiple parts in tandem. Here is a breakdown of different parts of an ultrasonic cutter: Ultrasonic Generators

The ultrasonic frequency of vibration of the blade leads to reducing friction to a bare minimum. This creates smooth and even cuts on a wide variety of surfaces. t o ≃ 5 r c o ( c o v ) 1 5 {\displaystyle t_{o}\simeq {\frac {5r}{c_{o}}}\left({\frac {c_{o}}{v}}\right) There are many benefits of an ultrasonic cutter for food products as compared to other cutting alternatives. Some of these benefits include: Excellent Cut Face An ultrasonically vibrating machine consists of two major components, an electroacoustic transducer and a sonotrode, attached to an electronic control unit with a cable. The abrasive grains in the slurry now act as a free cutting tool as they strike the workpiece thousands of times per second. [3] An electronic oscillator in the control unit produces an alternating current oscillating at a high frequency, usually between 18 and 40kHz in the ultrasonic range. The transducer converts the oscillating current to a mechanical vibration. Two types of transducers have been used in ultrasonic machining; either piezoelectric or magnetostrictive: Cutting soft products like cheese or soft bread with a knife often leads to the complete shattering of the product, making it unusable. In case of an ultrasonic cutter, the cutting motion is so swift that it eliminates any chances of shattering the food item. High SpeedVery well. The Sonic Saber is one of those products that you have to try for yourself to understand the appeal. You don’t feel the vibrations at all. In fact, you might not even realize it is running, which is why there is an LED to let you know when the cutter is active. But touch the blade to your part and it cuts right through without any effort whatsoever. High quality and professional cutting ability, provides a neat and clean finish at 22,000 cycles per second. The main housing and attachment may be neatly stored in an aluminum case which also provides a handy foot switch allowing the operator to turn the unit on or off as needed. The main draw of the Sonic Saber, for 3D printing enthusiasts , is support removal. It especially excels at removing resin supports, which is why it makes sense that Phrozen is selling such a product. It cuts through 3D-printed resin like butter, which means you can also use it to modify parts after printing if need be. Technology has progressed leaps and bounds in the recent few decades. What used to take hours and days by human hands can now be done within seconds by machines.
