Introduction

The ultrasonic cutting knife is a revolutionary tool used across various industries for precision cutting. By utilizing ultrasonic technology, these cutting knives provide advantages including minimal waste, low friction, and superior edge quality. Understanding the working principle and performance parameters is crucial for effective utilization.

Working Principle of an Ultrasonic Cutting Knife

An ultrasonic cutting knife operates using high-frequency sound waves, generally between 20 kHz and 40 kHz, to rapidly vibrate a blade. The ultrasonic generator converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations of the same frequency. The vibration creates a nearly frictionless environment, allowing the blade to cut through materials with ease.

The system comprises a converter, booster, and cutting blade. The converter transforms electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, the booster modifies the vibration amplitude, and the blade applies the vibrations to the material.

Parameters and Performance Analysis

The effectiveness of an ultrasonic cutting knife can be analyzed based on several performance parameters:

  • Frequency: Typically between 20 kHz to 40 kHz, with higher frequencies offering finer cuts.
  • Amplitude: The component's vibration amplitude, ranging between 10 to 200 micrometers, affects cutting speed and precision.
  • Cutting Speed: Generally ranges from 10 mm/s to 100 mm/s, dependent on material density and thickness.
  • Blade Material: High-strength materials like titanium or stainless steel are used to withstand high-frequency vibrations.
  • Temperature: The process generates minimal heat, reducing thermal impact on sensitive materials.

Numerical analyses indicate that ultrasonic cutting knives reduce material waste by approximately 30% compared to conventional cutting methods.
