Overview

***Ultrasonic cutter ZO series is a hobby tool that supports your works***

Ultrasonic cutter blade vibrates 40,000 times per second (40 kHz).
High speed and fine blade vibration cuts, welds, polishes speedily and expedites various works. We started selling Ultrasonic cutter at hobby market, and now, the market is expanding beyond the hobby market.

Applicable materials

Ultrasonic cutter ZO series performs differently depends on the material’s thickness, hardness, cutting length, and also user’s technique and work environment.

Cut

(Plastic)
ABS・Polycarbonate・Vinyl chloride・Acryl・etc.
 
(Other materials)
Resin・Epoxy putty・Paper・Cardboard・Chemical fiber・Cloth・Polyester putty・Silicone
3D printing・Carbon・Leather・Wood*1Rubber*2・etc.
 
*1 Wood・・Wood burns when the vibrated blade contacted for long time. Do not use for thick       wood and for long time work.
*2 Rubber・・Depends on the rubber’s softness, it could not cut because the soft material          absorbs blade vibration, and it loses sharpness.
 
(Uncuttable materials)
Metal・Glass・Stone・Soft materials (rubber, cloth, etc.)・etc.

Weld

There are 2 types of blades which uses for welding.

1. Welding blade ZH38/ For Vinyl, Plastic, etc.

2. Welding bar ZH54/ For Vinyl, Plastic, etc.

※Needs Bar anchor ZH53 to use ZH54

Those blades are not set in units initially.
Depends on the material’s thickness, it might not be welded strongly.

 

Polish

There are 2 types of grinding stones which uses for polishing.

1. Grinding stone ZH24, ZH26~32, ZH51/ For Vinyl, Plastic, etc.
   

 

2. Grinding stone bar ZH55~63/ For Vinyl, Plastic, etc. (Cannot use with ZO-95)
※Needs Bar anchor ZH53 to use grinding stone bar.

Those grinding stones are not set in unit initially.
All metallic materials are applicable.
 
※Caution※
Please conform things mentioned below and use grinding stone correctly. If you don’t, it might burn and cause any troubles.
・Grinding stones could use only with Normal power mode.
・Grinding stone bar could not use with ZO-95.

Features

-Unit activates with just pushing hand piece button once. (No need to hold)
-Power mode (Normal and High) could switch with output conversion switch.
-Protection circuit installed in hand piece observes unit temperature. When it detects temperature increased highly, oscillator indicator will start blink and unit automatically stops activation. When it cooled down as a level that unit could work, it shifts to Stand-by mode.
-Echo Tech original function “TAF circuit” controls unit output automatically.
 (TAF circuit observes unit’s load and adjusts power level automatically)

*1 Ultrasonic cutter ZO series overseas models are intended to sell at CE standard region. The power cord has complied to CE standard. To use at other regions which have complied other standards, please replace and use complied power cord. Also, we might be able to replace power cord that complied to your country’s standard with optional fee, when we had request.

*2 Do not use S-High and High mode for long time or as regularly. Because it loads largely, it shortens a life of unit.

*3 “Continuous activation time” starts count when ultrasonic power has turned ON, and the time keeps accumulates even if power mode has switched. When the unit has turned OFF, the time will be reset.
Ex.) After used Normal mode for 2 min. unit will continuously activate…
 
Normal/10 min.→ 8 min.    High/5 min.→ 3min.    S-High/3 min.→ 1 min.

About sales of Ultrasonic atomizer unit (humidify/atomize)

Ultrasonic atomizer unit made by Honda Electronics group has developed, start from our wish of “make rainbow to the air with ultrasonic technology(Rainbow project)”.
To atomize and spray water to the air, the unit developed as own company’s assembly part of ultrasonic atomizer has released as ultrasonic atomizer unit.
レインボープロジェクトRainbow project

We released atomizer unit as retail product in 1st August 1998, corresponding to requests of selling atomizing unit to make fog, from companies and universities research division which orders a original apparatus.
It could purchase from single piece and adopt in something experiment, it has used by peoples from various fields for long years.
However, due to some factors such as electronic component’s combination, reorganization, stockless, decrease of market place, we are now at hard situation to produce HMC series.
It has also considered to discontinue producing, but we determined to keep selling ultrasonic atomizer unit by standardizing with JM series that we(Echo Tech) are handling.

■Difference between HMC series.
・Current value will be decrease.
・Capability of atomization will be decrease.
・Oscillation circuit parts become chip.
・Fixing screw will be only correspond to M3, but not M4.
・Diagonal transducer type will be discontinue to produce.
This product will be only sell from Echo Tech. You could not order from Honda Electronics.

What is Ultrasonic atomizer unit?

 Ultrasonic atomizer unit transmits high frequency ultrasonic energy to water, and water pillar rises up by water molecule acceleration. The edge of water pillar atomizes and become mist. It is a set product of oscillator substrate that activates ultrasonic transducer and transducer, considered assembling in machine that atomizes liquid using this phenomenon.
※Please check picture of atomization at Honda Electronics website(Japanese page).

Ultrasonic atomizer unit 2.4MHz/3.0MHz

This product is an unit assembled in Ultrasonic atomizer JM series, which we are selling.
The 3.0 MHz which we used to accept as special order has newly added in lineup.
From the graph that describes measure of atomized particle size, it could know that much more small size particle has atomized than conventional models. 

※There are similarity with HM series (HM1630/HM2412/HM2412C) and HMC series (HM-2400/HM-2401) which had been sold by Honda Electronics, but because the mist volume has decreased, there are no compatibility.
For conventional models(HM-2400/HM-2401) users, 30st August, 2022 is a last day of those model’s order acceptance. Please prepare for placing last lot order.
※Due to the change in the Ultrasonic atomizer JM series, specification or appearance might be change without noticing.
