A method for machining a ceramic workpiece includes providing a sonotrode that has a transducer and a horn arranged along an axis, and the horn has helical slots and terminates at a tip, bringing the tip into proximity of the ceramic workpiece and providing an abrasive media to a work zone around the tip, using the transducer to produce ultrasonic vibration that axially propagates down the horn and causes axial vibration at the tip, and the helical slots convert a portion of the axial vibration to torsional vibration at the tip, and the axial vibration and the torsional vibration causing the abrasive media to abrade the ceramic workpiece in the work zone and thereby remove a localized portion of the ceramic workpiece.

The present invention discloses a grinding cavity body of multiple vibration sources, in which a plurality of ultrasonic vibration sources are disposed, capable of controlling the multi-directional macroscopic medium flow, making benefits to the vibration medium (the abrasive of the slurry) to enter the fine structure of the workpiece to be processed, and to the abrasive to vibrate itself slightly to enhance the performance of abrasive to the workpiece which needs to be ground.

Disclosed are a machining method and a machining device improving machining efficiency and preserving workpiece surface integrity. The machining method improving machining efficiency and preserving workpiece surface integrity includes: setting a workpiece (300) and a machining unit (400); and machining the workpiece (300) by the machining unit (400) at a preset machining speed, wherein the preset machining speed is not lower than a machining speed corresponding to the embrittlement of the workpiece material. By the machining method, the machining speed of the machining unit (400) is set during machining, which results in “skin effect” of subsurface damage caused by the embrittlement of the workpiece material (300) and enables the damage depth of the workpiece (300) to be confined in a shallow subsurface layer, so that the damage depth of the workpiece (300) is reduced, the workpiece integrity is preserved, and the machining quality and the machining efficiency are improved.

A method of machining cooling holes includes providing a workpiece in which a cooling hole is to be formed. The cooling hole, once formed, defines distinct first and second sections. The workpiece is secured in a fixture that is mounted in a first machine. In the first machine, a laser is used to drill a through-hole in a wall of the workpiece. The through-hole is spatially common to the first and second sections of the cooling hole. After drilling the through-hole, the fixture with the workpiece secured therein is removed from the first machine and mounted in a second machine. In the second machine, ultrasonic machining is used to expand a portion of the through-hole to form the second section. An abrasive slurry used in the process is drained through the through-hole during the ultrasonic machining.

A machine tool of high-frequency vibration is provided. A main shaft structure of the machine tool comprises a rotating shaft, the end of which is provided with a tool holder chuck for fixing a tool holder; the upper portion of which is provided with a rotating coil portion; the main shaft structure is correspondingly provided with a stationary coil portion; and the tool holder is provided with a high-frequency vibration module. By non-contact coils, an external electric power/signal can be transmitted into the high-frequency vibration module to avoid a wear phenomenon in a contact-rotating electrode. Because the inductive coil is arranged outside of the tool holder, the manufacturing cost of the tool holder is reduced, and the convenience of changing the tool holder is increased. Moreover, the machining stability and efficiency of the tool holder are improved by a control method of sensing/feedback signals with wireless transmission.
