The future of hybrid machining.
Hybrid machining with the
Ultrasonic series from PRIMINER.
NEW TECHNOLOGY AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES
The superimposition of additional movements in the machining process on our Ultrasonic series machines is a new, innovative approach to improving performance and pushing existing physical boundaries. This involves superimposing an additional ultrasonic movement on the conventional process. The use of this technology in our machines achieves a wide range of advantages.
We at PRIMINER GmbH, together with our technology partner VibroCut GmbH, are pioneers in hybrid machining and offer you complete solutions for your production to increase productivity, process reliability, quality and cost-effectiveness.
Ultrasonic-assisted grinding and drilling
Drilling and deep hole drilling
Accounting for 25–30% of all machining processes, drilling and deep-hole drilling play a central role in parts manufacturing. VibroCut ultrasonic significantly improves productivity, process reliability, and quality in drilling and deep-hole drilling processes. Benefit from this innovative technology and increase the profitability of your production.
Grind
Brittle materials such as glass or ceramics place the highest demands on machining precision and process reliability. With the precise and powerful ultrasound of the PRIMINER ultrasonic series, even quartz glass components can be machined reliably and cost-effectively – processes that have often reached their limits until now.
You can see live machine applications for ultrasonic-assisted grinding of quartz glass every day at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. in Hall 12, Stand A06 together with our partners VibroCut GmbH and Schott Diamantwerkzeuge GmbH.
Friction stir welding with ultrasonic
Friction stir welding (FSW) is an innovative process for joining light metals, especially aluminum. Advantages include high weld quality due to the avoidance of typical welding defects such as voids, minimal distortion, and the potential for material versatility. Industries such as aerospace (rocket tanks, aircraft structures, etc.), automotive (battery housings, cooling plates, etc.), and rail (ground segments, car bodies, etc.) benefit from the outstanding properties of the joints and the flexibility of the process.
The main challenges in implementing the joining process are:
· High process forces and tool loads
· Design in a narrow process window
Formation of brittle intermetallic phases
· Implementation of process monitoring
VibroCut ultrasonic sets the welding tool in ultrasonic motion. This delivers additional energy directly to the joining zone, supporting the material during plasticization and mixing. Ultrasonic assistance overcomes key challenges of friction stir welding. In this context, productivity, process reliability, and seam quality are significantly increased. Ultrasonic assistance in friction stir welding offers the following advantages:
· Reduction of welding forces
Improved mixing in the connection zone
· Reduction of brittle intermetallic phases
· Breaking up of oxide layers and oxide lines
· Increase in seam quality regarding tensile strength and elongation at break
Enlargement of the process window
Experience live demonstrations of friction stir welding at EMO Hannover from September 22nd to 26th – daily at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. in Hall 12, Stand A06 together with our partners VibroCut GmbH, Gühring, Montronix and GLEICH Aluminium.
Oscillation-assisted turning
Turning is a key process for manufacturing rotationally symmetrical components. One of the biggest challenges is the formation of long or tangled chips, which negatively impact process reliability and efficiency.
VibroCut oscillate superimposes an additional oscillating motion on the turning process, ensuring controlled chip breaking. This prevents machine downtime, increases process reliability, and boosts productivity and cost-effectiveness.
The VibroCut oscillate tool holders impose a targeted oscillating motion on the turning process, altering the process kinematics and optimizing chip breaking. This additional movement creates predetermined breaking points in the chip, resulting in shorter chips.
The unique feature of this technology is its reliable chip breaking, which is achieved regardless of the material. Thanks to the robust kinematic principle, chip breaking in oscillation-assisted turning is also robust against material batch fluctuations or tool wear, making it ideal for industrial manufacturing conditions.
Thanks to their high performance, suitable parameters can be set for every application. The flexibility of the devices also allows for easy integration and adaptation to the specific processing tasks at hand.
