Cutting of thermoplastic CFRP using the ultrasonic cutter

Technical Classification:: [ Processing ]
Products:: [ Equipment / Facilities ] [ Products / Processed Products ]
Keyword:: [ carbon prepreg ] [ cutting ] [ edge tool ] [ secondary processing ] [ Thermoplastic CFRP ] [ Ultrasonic cutter ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

For cutting of CFRP, a large equipment such as laser and waterjet is used. We would like to propose an ultrasonic cutter as a relatively simple cutting tool. Use of the ultrasonic cutter enables an environmentally-friendly (few chippings produced), fast and easy cutting of unnecessary portions of a molded thermoplastic CFRP part.
Three-dimensional cutting is also possible by attaching the tool to the robot hand.

Effect(s)

[Manual machine]
・Facilitates processing at the trial manufacturing stage
[Automatic machine]
・Reduces cost on systematization
