Method for fine machining of materials with fibrous content has high frequency linear vibrations superimposed onto cutting tool using an actuator integrated into the tool mounting

摘要

A method for fine machining, cutting, drilling etc. of compound materials with fibrous content superimposes high frequency vibrations onto the cutting/boring tool. The vibrations are parallel to the tool axis and are of a much higher frequency than that of the cutting heads. A simple design has an actuator (7) integrated into the tool mounting (3 to 6) and controlled by a telemetric system. Suitable actuators include piezoelectric transducers and high frequency hydraulic systems.
