The Ultratec ultrasonic A25 deburring machine introduces a novel, environmentally friendly deburring technology that uses water instead of chemicals. Award-winning for its innovative approach, the Ultratec system effectively removes burrs from parts without causing damage, deformation, or discoloration.

Now available from Vollmer UK is the new Ultratec ultrasonic A25 deburring machine. As part of the Vollmer Group, Ultratec is a company that has won a number of awards for its patented new ultrasonic deburring method that only uses water. The environmentally friendly solution provides sharp edged burr free parts that often cannot be processed via alternate methods. This energy efficient system eliminates common challenges when deburring parts such as deformation, discolouring and changes to the oxide layer on the component. It is also performs on small and delicate components that cannot be processed via alternative methods. ,This makes the Ultratec ultrasonic A25 ideal for applications in heavily regulated sectors with challenging demands such as the medical, food and drug industries, aerospace, electronics and many more.

The Ultratec ultrasonic A25 creates a formation and dissolution/implosion of bubbles in water that release an intense energy during implosion. This is created by an ultra high oscillation of 20 kHz (20,000 oscillations a second) with an oscillation width of +/-80-120 microns, which far exceeds the amplitude of ultrasonic cleaning, cutting and welding technologies. An ultrasonic horn that is fully submersed in water is set into resonant vibration via mechanical oscillations to transmit the extremely high forces into the water tank. With horn diameters from 1.2 to 14 mm, the ultrasonic horn is fixed in a position in the water tank and components are robotically moved around the ultrasonic horn that creates a cavitation jet from 250 to 270 m/s that breaks burrs from the parts.

The Ultratec ultrasonic A25 is configured with an ultrasonic stainless steel 40 litre basin that can accommodate parts up to 150 by 150 by 150 mm and weighing up to 1.5 kg. In the basin are two opposing ultrasonic horns to cater for a variety of applications and once processed, parts are moved to a compressed air drying station. Components are collected from an external pallet by a 6-axis ABB industrial robot that is programmed via an application integrated into the ABB Robot Studio suite — a CAM system for ultrasonic deburring.

The Ultratec ultrasonic A25 is a completely flexible system with a multitude of options such as conveyor loading and different component tray configurations. Additional options include various waterproof gripping systems for part picking, a selection of motor and air pressure spindles for additional processes like brushing and re-gripping stations to turn components around for gripping from the opposite side.
