Ultra Sonic Machining (USM)

Material is removed by the vibration of tool in the ultra sonic range of frequency.usually 15KHz-25KHz.A high frequency current is passed through the coil wounded over the Nickel lamination.so the vibrations are produced due to magnetic effect.this vibration is transferred to the tool through the tool holder or horn.An abrasive slurry is continuously pumped to the space between tool and workpiece.the abrasive particles attains velocity from the tool and fit on the workpiece.so the material get removed.The shape of the horn is of reducing cross-section and it acts as a mechanical amplifier of vibrations.the tool is soldered or welded to the tool holder.

Specifications:
  • Abrasive particles-Aluminium Oxide,Silicon Carbide,water
  • Voltage-220V
  • Current-12A
