Abstract
A cutting guide device for ultrasonic cutting of workpieces is provided. The cutting guide device includes a cutting edge with a cutting edge longitudinal axis held in the cutting guide device, an ultrasound generator which oscillates the cutting edge, a control unit which controls movement of the cutting edge on a cutting path, and a first force measuring device which measures an actual lateral force on the cutting edge transverse to the cutting edge longitudinal axis and transverse to the cutting direction. The first force measuring device sends actual lateral force measurement values to the control unit, which changes at least one cutting parameter based on the measured actual lateral force. A method for using the ultrasonic cutting device is also provided.
