Introducing a revolutionary solution from Acoustech Systems

that dramatically improves metalworking capabilities by bringing

ultrasonic performance to new and existing manufacturing

equipment. Its an accessory. A tool holder. An ultrasonically-excited

collet. One that fitsyourmachines, usesyourtools, and can be

operated byyouremployees without extensive training.

Acoustech Systems groundbreaking technology enables

existing manufacturing equipment to increase speed

and quality while reducing operating costs.

Years in development by

manufacturing R&D firm EWI,

this patented solution empowers

production manufacturers

to apply intense acoustical

vibrations to conventional cutting

tools, bringing the many benefits

of ultrasonic technology to

todays plant floor.

Finally, manufacturers can work on hard-to-machine materials.

Accelerate production rates. Amplify equipment capacity. Extend

tool life. And best of all, increase profits withoutpurchasing

new machining centers, because this patented tool holder was

specifically engineered to work with standard equipment installed

throughout the manufacturing industry.

How does Acoustech Machining work?Acoustech Machining utilizes high power ultrasound within conventional tool holders, which in turn

produces longitudinal vibrations along the tools axis of rotation at 20-kHz, but very small displacements

such as 10m. This motion produces a friction reduction effect thereby reducing cutting forces due to

the oscillating motion of the tool tip.

Achieving high-power ultrasonics with conventional metalworking equipment

and tools gives manufacturers a significant competitive advantage.

The key benefit of ultrasonics is the reduction in cutting force, which ensures many advantages. Tool

life is improved due to a reduction in cutting temperatures. Coolants may be reduced, sometimes

eliminated. Dimensional stability is improved due to reduced tool deflection. Chip loads can increase

by as much as 2-3 times. Force reductions also provide parts with better surface finishes and, in some

cases, reduced burr formation.
