Cuts metals, plastics or even SiC A versatile high-speed cutting technology
SoundCutting utilizes the power of sound for damage-free cuts in either atmosphere or liquid. This versatile cutting technology covers a wide range of metals, plastics, and even difficult-to-cut materials like SiC.
For semiconductor manufacturing, it used to be common practice to cut silicon wafers using self-sharpening diamond blades. These keep their sharpness by wearing down and breaking off used diamonds. The downside of this process is that with ever-growing facilities, the number of blades consumed adds up to a significant amount of production cost.
Offering solutions for large production volumes and increasing efficiency with innovative technologies is part of the Ultex manufacturing ideology. SoundCutting is our answer for cutting soft, hard, and tough materials with just the power of sound.
