Abstract: A system and method for vibratory cutting, including in the manufacture of ceramic honeycomb bodies. The apparatus includes a transducer configured to generate vibrations with respect to an axial direction. A cutting element is configured to receive and oscillate axially in response to the vibrations. The cutting element has a blade having a width, an axial length, and a thickness. A cutting plane of the blade is defined with respect to the width and the axial length. The blade has opposing side surfaces that extend parallel to the cutting plane. The thickness extends perpendicular to the cutting plane between the opposing side surfaces. A set of fluid bearings are configured to exert fluid pressure on each of the opposing side surfaces to constrain vibrations of the blade oriented in directions transverse to the cutting plane.

Abstract: Centering apparatuses and methods for precision placement of a product or component, such as a ceramic honeycomb body, prior to a post-production processing steps are provided. In particular, after extrusion of a component or ware, the component or ware oftentimes requires one or more post-production processing steps in order to obtain a final product. The centering apparatuses and methods described herein provide for the precise and accurate centering of the product (or component) prior to performing these post-production processing steps, thereby obtaining repeatable, consistent, high-quality final products.
