【Echo Tech】 Ultrasonic cutter ZO series, “Grinding stone” for polishing hard material.
Ultrasonic cutter is not a tool not only for cutting work.
There are replacement blade, named “Grinding stone”(plate and bar type) that is for polishing hard materials.
(Grinding stone/plate type) 9 stones color stands for a roughness level.
(Grinding stone/bar type)
“Polish a rust on metal”.
We developed this product for this purpose, initially.
Last week, Honda Electronics staff reported that it’s useful for grinding plastic injection molding gate.
We surprised at that report, because we thought grinding stone is not recommended for removing or cutting parts, due to flat edge. According to staff who tried, plastic gate has melted and removed by pressing plate edge. This work proves that there are no big difference between both replacement blade in cutting capacity. To remove fine parts, “melt and cut” with friction heat generated by ultrasonic vibration is enough for doing.
However, this technique is only usable for melt-able material or crack-able materials.
Wood, veneer, rubber, such an unmelt-able and uncrack-able materials are exception.
For those materials, sharp blade is necessary for cutting.
Like such a case, when you try use replacement blades in case where you had not, you might develop new usage. If you find your original way of using of replacement blade, please let us know. We might introduce it on blog or SNS!
