Edge Finishing: Compliant & Ultrasonic Knife Trimming

The Compliant Knife

KMT’s patented Compliant Knife technology is one of the most efficient means of trimming constantly shrinking blowmolded and injection molded parts. The compliant knife, which is mounted to the end of a robot, is uniquely designed to have just the right amount of flexibility to accurately and precisely deflash parting lines. The robot guides the knife around the area to be trimmed, leaving a clean edge.

The Ultrasonic Knife

The ultrasonic knife, which is mounted to the end of a robot, vibrates at a frequencies ranging from 20-40kHz to easily cut a variety of soft materials.
