The NCS200 single wire saw can process pieces up to 200 × 200 × 200 mm.
The great length and high speed of the wire enable fast cutting: a 100 × 100 mm quartz piece can be cut in less than 2 hours.
A Y-axis displacement indexing table with tilt and rotation enables cutting along crystal planes.
Successive cuts of varying thicknesses are also possible.

Ultrasonic drilling is a promising technology for brittle materials. Machining is carried out using an abrasive solution in which the entire workpiece is immersed. The selective machining is performed by means of a sonotrode presenting the negative of the pattern to be machined and that vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency. This sonotrode selectively accelerates the abrasive grits close to its contours which are then being reproduced by abrasion in the workpiece: the perfect non-contact punch! The advantages of this technology:

• Soft machining resulting in little chipping,
• Compliance with dimensional tolerances within a few hundredths of a millimetre,
• Possibility to drill complex shapes such as square or asymmetrical ones…,

• Two 400 mm lapping/polishing machines
• Lapping/polishing 630mm
• Maximum dimension of processed parts: 200mm

• 1 ultrasonic cleaning bath
• 2 rinse tanks
• Drying
