Abstract
The present invention discloses a vibration cutting device and a method for vibration cutting. The vibration cutting device comprises at least one first oscillating heat, a controller, by means of which the first oscillating head can be selectively electrically excited in order to carry out oscillations within a frequency range below the kilohertz range, and a cutting tool disposed between a first and a second fixture, while the first fixture is connected to the first oscillating head such that mechanical oscillations of the first oscillating head can be transferred to the cutting tool.
Claims16
Vibration cutting device that has the following features:
- a) at least a first oscillating head consisting of an inertia body and an electromagnetic drive,
- b) controls with which the first oscillating head can be selectively excited electrically in order to perform oscillations in a frequency range below the kilohertz range, and
- c) a cutting tool disposed between a first fixture and a second fixture, while at least the first fixture is connected to the first oscillating head so that mechanical oscillations from the first oscillating head can be transferred to the cutting tool.
Method for vibration cutting that has the following steps:
- a) Exciting at least a first oscillating head consisting of an inertia body and an electromagnetic drive to oscillate in a frequency range below the kilohertz range, preferably between 50 and 500 Hz, by applying current to the electromagnetic drive,
- b) Transferring the oscillations to a cutting tool through a mechanical coupling between the first oscillating head and the cutting tool, and
- c) Moving a work table with a product to be cut perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cutting tool so that the product is cut.
