Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for cutting through one or more extrudates to form one or more honeycomb bodies are provided. The systems described herein provide a low inertia vibratory cutting system configured to cut through extrudate to form honeycomb bodies, where the vibratory cutting system comprises a thin, low-inertia cutting element, and one or more sets of fluid bearings configured to mitigate or lessen out of plane vibrations of the cutting element to provide a more stable cutting element. In some examples the vibratory cutting system comprises two sets of fluid bearings arranged at two locations on the cutting element that are configured to mitigate out-of-plane vibrations on the cutting element and between the two locations. In some examples, the cutting element is double-sided to allow for single-sided or double-sided cutting operations.
