Abstract
In the field of cutting with ultrasonic vibration, several studies about formation of chip, measurements of vibration amplitude on cutting tool, and so on, have been reported. However, there is no report that observation of cutting region during cutting with ultrasonic vibration, since ultrasonic vibration is too fast to observe by microscope. In this study, the technique to picture in band of ultrasonic are suggested and picturing system that synchronizes with the ultrasonic vibration is developed. Cutting tests are performed with 60kHz ultrasonic vibration cutting system, and results of picturing of aluminum and die steel during cutting tests are shown and it is shown that the picturing in the optional phase in ultrasonic vibration is possible.
