Diamond Turning Rotary Module
The Kinetic Ceramics Diamond Turning Rotary Module (RFTS) utilizes a unique piezoelectric shearmotor to produce high frequency angular motion of a lightweight single crystal diamond cutting tool. This precision motion control module can produce repetitive or random features at a rate of up to 24,000 features per second.
 
System Description
The RFTS shearmotor is mounted in a sealed housing containing a cooling fluid to control the temperature of the high performance piezoelectric driving elements. The housing also contains a temperature sensor to monitor the shearmotor temperature. The tool holder is mounted in a flexure that has very high rigidity in the vertical axis as well as in the tool longitudinal axis. Side to side motion of the cutting tool is unrestricted.
A power amplifier drives the shearmotor achieving an angular rotation. A drive signal is synthesized for the amplifier with a Windows based virtual instrument providing user control.
