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 13):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 10 , further comprising a mechanical transformer ( 5 ) for increasing or reducing a mechanical amplitude of the oscillations is attached between the ultrasonic transducer ( 4 ) and the sonotrode ( 6 ).
