National Technology Group (NTG) has begun a project for introducing autoresonance vibration technologies into the industrial sector
National Technology Group (NTG) has begun their project for introducing autoresonance vibration technologies into the industrial sector, specifically for the production of autoresonance process vibration ultrasonic machinery.
In comparison with the processing technologies currently being used, autoresonance increases the capacities of machines and devices by many times. The essential issue here is that energy consumption is significantly reduced down to the lowest level possible for this class of devices.
Calibration of a vibration machine, particularly an ultrasonic one, to autoresonance mode allows for maximum performance efficiency despite the reverse effect of the processed medium which the machine is exposed to.
Autoresonance technologies have a rather broad range of applications - from industrial uses to the production of high-efficiency home appliances and medical equipment.
Ultrasonic devices for turning (for the manufacture of tools made from hard-to-work materials)
Devices for hardfacing tools (improves surface cleanness and strengthens the exteriors of tools due to its resistance to deformation)
Devices for wiredrawing (manufacture of wire, for example, fine precious metal thread)
The project plans the construction of all autoresonance devices according to one main principle, possibly using the same basic units. As for the ultrasonic machines, these units are both ultrasonic autoresonance generators and operating oscillation systems.
Preliminary theoretical and experimental research, as well as data from the testing of a prototype model, confirmed the possibility of the machines having significantly lower energy and metal consumption while their production capacities, performance, and environmental safety characteristics are higher.
At present, NTG specialists are developing a new device for vibration cutting and the smoothing of hard-to-treat materials such as titanium, heat-resistant steel and ceramics, cast iron, diamonds, etc.
"Introduction of autoresonance machines would allow to significantly reduce the run time of process cycles for tool processing, thus reducing production costs due to a long chain of intermediate operations being excluded from the process, such as grinding, polishing, etc.," emphasized Vitaliy Krupenin, General Director of National Technology Group, CJSC.
