Ultrasonic Cutting Machine | FT-100CUT and FT-500CUT
Ultrasonic Cutting Machines | FT-100CUT / FT-500CUT
Ultrasonic Cutting Machine uses high-frequency mechanical vibration to assist the cutting tool. Depending on the material and tool configuration, it can be considered for cutting rubber, food, fabric, nonwoven fabric, film, and other materials.
Fulcrum Technology offers FT-100CUT / FT-500CUT ultrasonic cutting machines for cutting thick, long, or bulky materials and for slitting, patterned, or shaped cuts in thin sheets; suitability depends on material thickness, hardness, tackiness, tool type, and process conditions.
Key Applications of Ultrasonic Cutting Machines
Cutting Thick Materials and Special Shapes
For thick or long materials, or materials that are difficult to support with an anvil, ultrasonic tooling can be evaluated as a cutting aid. Examples include raw rubber, tubular materials, and some food products.
Actual cutting results depend on material hardness and thickness, tool type, and operating method.
Slitting and Pattern Cutting for Thin Materials
Depending on the equipment configuration, a cutting anvil, cylindrical pattern wheel, or other suitable tooling can be used to evaluate slitting, pattern, and shape cutting of thin materials.
Materials commonly evaluated include fabric, nonwoven fabric, natural and synthetic fibers, artificial resin, paper, film, and decorative materials.
Processing Food, Rubber, and Industrial Materials
Ultrasonic cutting can be evaluated for cutting some food, rubber, and industrial materials, such as frozen meat, candy, chocolate, rubber, and certain electronic materials.
For food-contact applications, special materials, or continuous production lines, confirm tooling materials, equipment configuration, hygiene, and process requirements separately.
How to Choose an Ultrasonic Cutting Machine
Selection of the FT-100CUT or FT-500CUT should not rely on the material name alone. Confirm the actual cut size, material properties, tool type, and operating method.
Material Type and Properties
Confirm whether the material is rubber, food, fabric, film, or another material, along with its hardness, elasticity, tackiness, and tendency to deform.
Material Dimensions and Thickness
Provide the material thickness, width, length, and expected cut range so the tooling and equipment configuration can be evaluated.
Cut Shape and Quality Requirements
Specify whether the cut is straight, slitting, curved, patterned, or another shape, and describe the required edge appearance and dimensions.
Operating Method and Throughput
Confirm whether operation will be handheld, standalone, or integrated into a production line, as well as batch quantity and target processing speed.
What Information to Provide Before Requesting a Quote
To evaluate the FT-100CUT, FT-500CUT, or another suitable cutting configuration, provide the material name, sample photos, thickness, dimensions, hardness, tackiness, intended cut shape, and operating method.
For thin-sheet slitting, pattern-wheel cutting, continuous feeding, or integration with an existing line, also provide site equipment conditions and expected throughput. The appropriate model, tooling, and accessories must be confirmed for the application.
