- FIG. 32 shows an ultrasonic cutting device 2000 for the ultrasonic cutting of a composite body 600 by means of shear cutting.
- the cutting device 2000 comprises a cutting punch 2002 with a cutting edge 2004, the course of which coincides with the circumference of the geometrical format to be created.
- the device 2000 comprises a cutting plate 2004 with a recess 2006 whose circumference coincides with that of the geometric format to be created.
- the cutting punch is moved vertically downward into the recess 2006, so that the geometrical format to be created is produced from the composite body 600 by the shearing action of the cutting edge 2004 of the cutting punch 2002 and the edge 2008 of the recess 2006 of the cutting inserts 2004.
