Ultrasonic machining process makes light work of composites

Ultrasonic machining process makes light work of composites

The device creates ultrasonic vibrations at anywhere between 20 kHz and 39 kHz, and the machining technique makes the composite material sufficiently "soft" in the area being worked on that much less force is needed from the cutting tool, resulting in …

Revolutionary device makes machining composites as easy as "cutting through

The tool makes working on difficult-to-cut materials like aerospace-grade composites so easy it is like "cutting through butter". It involves a technique called ultrasonically-assisted machining (UAM), which uses a specially designed piezoelectric …
