Abstract:
A method is disclosed for deburring components or workpieces ( 7 ) with ultrasound by using at least one sonotrode ( 6 ), having the following method steps: a) supplying at least one ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ) with electrical energy by at least one ultrasound generator ( 2 ) so that the ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ) is caused to vibrate mechanically; b) transmitting the vibrations to the sonotrode ( 6 ) that is mechanically connected to the ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ); c) immersing the sonotrode ( 6 ) with at least one vibrating sonotrode surface ( 6′ ) into a fluid (M) so that cavitation is generated in the fluid (M) in an area of this sonotrode surface ( 6′ ) by the mechanical vibrations of the sonotrode ( 6 ); d) arranging a workpiece ( 7 ) to be deburred in the vicinity of this sonotrode surface ( 6′ ) by which the workpiece ( 7 ) is deburred on at least one point, side, or surface opposite the sonotrode surface ( 6′ ). Furthermore, a device is disclosed for deburring components or workpieces ( 7 ) using ultrasound.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for deburring workpieces ( 7 ) using ultrasound via at least one sonotrode ( 6 ;  6 a,  6 b,  6 c ), comprising the following method steps:\n a) supplying at least one ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ) with electric energy by at least one ultrasonic generator ( 2 ), thereby exciting the ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ) to perform mechanical oscillations; b) transmitting the oscillations to the at least one sonotrode ( 6 ) which is connected mechanically to the ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ); c) dipping at least one oscillating sonotrode face ( 6 \u2032) of the at least one sonotrode ( 6 ) into a liquid (M), thereby generating cavitation in the liquid (M) in a region of said sonotrode face ( 6 \u2032) by way of mechanical oscillations of the sonotrode ( 6 ); d) arranging a workpiece ( 7 ) to be deburred in a vicinity of the sonotrode face ( 6 \u2032), and deburring the workpiece ( 7 ) on at least one side or face which lies opposite said sonotrode face ( 6 \u2032).
