  • Ultrasonic cutting devices are known for cutting materials such as artificial or natural leather.
  • the EP 2 347 870 A1 shows, for example, a device for producing a tear line in the back of a covering material, the covering material preferably consisting at least in sections of plastic, in particular an interior lining material for vehicles.
  • the device comprises a support, by which the covering material can be supported, and a spaced-apart above it, which is motor-driven in the direction of the support and reciprocable tooling submersible into the backside of the liner material and movable forwardly following the path of the desired tear line.
  • the device is characterized in that the tool is formed by a chisel, the back and forth movement of which is effected at a frequency of 16 to 70 kHz, preferably 18 to 40 kHz.
  • one or two cutting directions are available for guiding the cutting blade, depending on the design of the blade (bevelled on one side or on both sides).
  • the robot can make a change of direction by reorienting the cutter, and hence the cutting blade operated by the cutter, through axis movement of the robot.
  • the axis limits of the robot can be reached quickly, so that a movement to reorient the robot arm outside of the material to be cut is necessary in order to be able to introduce certain cutting lines.
  • the cutting blade is pulled out of the material to be cut, one or more axes of the robot are rotated and the cutting blade then pierces the material to be cut again.

  • the processing system can be operated in such a way that the cutting device is rotated through a specific angle, for example 90°, independently of a movement of the handling device (in particular a handling arm of the handling device). This results in additional cutting directions of a cutting blade accommodated by the cutting device. In particular, it is possible to process a defined cutting line in one operation without intermediate reorientation movements.
  • the cycle time, the blade wear due to the Targeted double-sided use of the blade halves and accessibility can be improved with this swiveling tool holder.
