What is a Ultrasonic cutter?

An ultrasonic cutter is a machine used for cutting applications like a general cutter. By ultrasonically vibrating the cutting edge, it is possible to cut with a lighter force than cutting with a normal cutter. On the other hand, depending on the material of the object, frictional heat due to ultrasonic vibration may be generated and the material may melt, so caution is required. In addition to general products such as paper and resin products, it is also used for cutting food.

Application of Ultrasonic cutter

The main use is for hobby use. It is useful because it enables cutting without exerting force even on shapes that are difficult to cut with a normal cutter, such as processing plastic models. However, depending on the material, it may be necessary to post-process the cut surface because it is cut while melting due to the frictional heat generated by ultrasonic vibration. In addition to resin products, it is often used for cutting printed circuit boards and plaster. Also, some are used to cut food. For foods such as cakes that tend to crumble when cut with a general knife, cutting with a cutting edge that vibrates ultrasonically reduces resistance during cutting and provides a beautiful cross section.
