  • Publication number: 20220326187
    Abstract: The invention relates to a workpiece testing method, in particular for testing workpieces (5) for internal defects (6), for example workpieces (5) made of fiber-reinforced plastic, comprising the following steps: applying ultrasonic waves (9, 19) to a workpiece (5), detecting ultrasonic signals (10, 20) generated by applying the ultrasonic waves (9, 19) to the workpiece (5), and generating ultrasonic tomogram data of the workpiece (5) from the ultrasonic signals (10, 20). The invention is characterized in that the workpiece (5) is machined, in particular milled, and the ultrasonic waves (9, 19) thus generated are applied to the workpiece (5). The invention furthermore relates to a workpiece testing system suitable therefor.

  • Patent number: 10252354
    Abstract: A cutter for electrode graphite which has a shank at one end and a tool tip at the other end, and flutes extending from the shank to the tool tip, which space machining lands apart from each other in the circumferential direction. The tool tip is formed as a ball head section, in which the machining lands have a rounded contour, extending along a ball head radius. At least one of the machining lands is a rough-machining land and at least one other of the machining lands is a fine-machining land. Each machining land has a circumferential working area with a cylindrical surface-segment-shaped shell surface, the working area of each rough-machining land is a circumferential file with teeth which are worked into the shell surface of the working area, and the working area of each fine-machining land exterior grooves extends with a twist about the tool axis.

  • Patent number: 9452479
    Abstract: A face cutter for machining fiber-reinforced materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics, glass-fiber-reinforced plastics or plastics reinforced with polyester threads is provided which includes main flutes which form with trailing premachining lands cutting wedges with premachining cutting edges, and auxiliary flutes, the number of which corresponds to a number of the main flutes, each trail one of the main flutes in the peripheral sense, each distance in the peripheral sense a postmachining land from the premachining land leading in the peripheral sense, and form with the postmachining land a cutting wedge with a postmachining cutting edge.
