What is the mean of ultrasonic slitting?

An ultrasonic slitting machine is a type of industrial equipment used for cutting and slitting various materials using ultrasonic vibrations. It is commonly used in industries such as textiles, plastics, films, and non-woven materials.

Unlike traditional cutting methods that rely on blades or knives, ultrasonic slitting machines use high-frequency vibrations generated by ultrasonic transducers to cut through the material. These vibrations create a shearing effect that allows precise and clean cuts without the need for sharp blades.

Ultrasonic slitting on machines applications

Our equipment are well adapted for continuous cutting in: sun protection, cutting of PP woven tapes, or all your slitting operations on technical textiles, agrotextiles and nonwovens.

*Ultrasonic technology can be used only on synthetic textiles (with a minimum of synthetic fibers), thermoplastics or any thermo-fusible product. To be sure, don’t hesitate to contact us for ultrasonic cutting or welding trials.

Description

These equipment for machine integration are designed to work as:

Simple device to be integrated on existing machine
Complete bench

They are equipped with:

cooling system to maintain a constant temperature of the sealing point
connections to machine

Then, they are designed to work from medium to high speed, depending on fabric characteristics.

The ultrasonic slitting process involves the following steps:

Material feeding: The material to be cut is fed into the machine, usually in the form of a roll or sheet.

Ultrasonic cutting: The ultrasonic transducer generates high-frequency vibrations, typically in the range of 20 to 40 kHz. These vibrations are transmitted to a cutting horn or blade, which contacts the material.

Cutting action: The ultrasonic vibrations create a rapid back-and-forth motion at the cutting edge of the horn or blade. This motion causes the material to be sheared and separated along the desired cutting path.

Slitting and rewinding: In addition to straight cuts, ultrasonic slitting machines can also perform slitting operations to create multiple parallel cuts or strips. After cutting, the material is usually rewound into individual rolls or sheets, ready for further processing or packaging.

Ultrasonic slitting machines offer several advantages over traditional cutting methods. They provide precise and consistent cuts, even for delicate or difficult-to-cut materials. The absence of sharp blades reduces the risk of injury and eliminates the need for frequent blade replacements. Additionally, ultrasonic cutting can seal the edges of certain materials, preventing fraying or unraveling.

Overall, ultrasonic slitting machines are efficient, versatile, and widely used in industries where high-quality cutting and slitting operations are required.

Ultrasonic fabric slitting on an inspection machine refers to the process of using an ultrasonic slitting technique to cut and slit fabric while inspecting it for defects or quality issues. This combination of ultrasonic cutting and inspection helps ensure that only high-quality fabric is produced and delivered to customers.

The process typically involves the following steps:

Fabric feeding: The fabric is fed into the inspection machine, usually in the form of a roll or sheet.

Inspection: As the fabric moves through the machine, it undergoes visual inspection using cameras, sensors, or other inspection systems. These systems detect and identify defects such as holes, stains, irregularities, or pattern misalignments.

Ultrasonic cutting: When a defect is detected, the inspection machine triggers the ultrasonic slitting mechanism to cut and remove the defective portion. The ultrasonic cutting ensures a precise and clean cut without fraying the fabric edges.

Slitting and rewinding: In addition to defect removal, the ultrasonic slitting machine can also perform slitting operations to divide the fabric into multiple parallel strips or rolls. This step can be done simultaneously with the inspection and cutting process.

Quality control: After the fabric is slit and defects are removed, it undergoes further quality control checks to ensure that the desired specifications and standards are met. This can include additional visual inspection, dimensional measurements, or other quality assurance processes.
