Well Diamond Wire Saw 3032-4

Brief description:

The Diamond Wire Saws employs a drum with precision threaded pitched grooves machined into the surface for holding the diamond embedded wire. The diamond wire of 33 feet in length is attached and wound onto the drum, mounted onto a ballscrew shaft of identical pitch as the drum, and connected to a motor that rotates in both a forward and reverse direction.

A loop in the wire is attached to a tensioning pulley for maintaining the precise perpendicularity of the cut while moving across the sample. Consistent force (feed rate) of the wire against the sample is achieved by means of gravity. The saw's motor housing rides along precision guideways on ball bearings. In addition to the ability to adjust the force of the wire, the speed of the wire is also adjustable via a continuously variable potentiometer

Key features:

• Bench Top Design
• Variable wire speed control
• Automatic Shut-of in the event of wire breakage
• Linear Feed of 60 mm (2 inches approx.)
• Sample height adjustment
• Automatic Shut-off at the conclusion of cut
• Possibility to use a cutting fluid

Model 3032-4:

The Model 3032 cuts samples with the wire travelling horizontally. The sample can be positioned inside the loop thereby allowing for accurate positioning prior to and viewing of the sample during the cutting process. The sample holder is attached to a counter-balanced arm that uses weights to establish and maintain the proper amount of force throughout the entire cut or slice.

Tensioning of the wire is also accomplished through the use of weights. This saw allows the use of particularly thin diameter wire (down to 0.08 mm). A microscope is mounted on the saw so that accurate positioning of the diamond wire can be accomplished and the cut or slice process can be watched while in progress.
