Well Diamond Wire Saw 5237

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 5237:

Often the material requiring cutting is too hard for the forces used on the Series 3000 machines. The 5237 was designed and manufactured to handle the hardest of materials. The wire tension, when the 0.5mm wire is used, can be loaded to as much as 15 pounds which allows the ability to load the force of the wire into the part to its maximum level. This combination of forces will lessen the cutting time for hard materials such as aluminum oxide and silicon carbide.
