Abstract

The paper deals with the main types of installations, tools and equipment used in ultrasonically hybrid assisted processes. The study provides information about the specific components which form an ultrasonic chain such as transducer, reflecting and radiating bushes, concentrator, booster, and integrated tool in terms of materials, shapes, and dimensional characteristics. The output technological performances are also presented which can be improved through hybrid machining processes, using ultrasonic vibrations as: reduction of process forces, higher material rate removal, reduced tool wear, excellent surface quality, higher precision. Some constructive solutions applied to the components of technological systems, which are used at hybrid processes that allow to obtain the improved technological parameters, based on synergetic effect produced by combination of separate processes, are presented.
