The Gesswein Ultramax Cutter is an ultrasonic cutter for soft to medium-hard materials. The blade tip vibrates at up to 40,000 vibrations per second, which gives smooth, precise cuts with minimal operator effort. It can be used where you would normally reach for a knife.
You can run it in continuous mode or activate it with the foot pedal. Power adjusts steplessly to suit different materials and thicknesses. A power-level display and automatic fault detection with alert notifications help keep operation predictable. A patented clamping blade holder grips the blades firmly and evenly.
It is used for cutting PCB copper foil and trimming circuit board conductors, removing sprues and flash, and cutting plastic sheet such as ABS, PE, acrylic and PP. It also cuts non-woven fabrics, neoprene, linoleum, corrugated cardboard and thick paperboard. It is not suitable for ceramics, glass, aluminum, steel, or soft elastomers such as silicone rubber and soft urethane foam.
