Loughborough University researchers have developed a device they claim could revolutionise the way cutting, drilling and milling is done in manufacturing.
The tool makes working on difficult-to-cut materials like aerospace-grade composites far easier. It involves a technique called ultrasonically-assisted machining (UAM), which uses a specially designed piezoelectric transducer working in tandem with a traditional turning, drilling or milling machine. Dr Anish Roy The device creates ultrasonic vibrations at anything between 20kHz and…
