Precision Wire Saw with Sample Stage and Diamond Wire STX-202
TX-202A (STX-202A is an upgraded version of STX-202 since Mar 2014 with additional auto-control Y-axis) is a CE certified, small precision diamond wire saw for cutting sample ≤ 2" diameter or square up to 50mm in thickness. It is designed to provide a smooth cutting for many kinds of materials, especially for fragile crystals and TEM or IC sample by using 0.28mm diameter x 15-meter long diamond impregnated wire. It is an ideal cutting tool for material research, TEM sample preparation, and IC failure analysis.

Controller & Touch Screen |
- Color touchscreen controller will set up wire travel speed, cutting speed along Z axis and cutting width along Y axis
|
Diamond wire |
- ≤ 15 meters used for each installation
- One spool of 0.30mm Dia x 20 meter length Diamond Wire is included for immediate use
- A Diamond Blade Dressing Stone is included for keeping the wire sharp.
- Optional:
- For slicing or dicing very brittle crystal, you may order 0.22 mm Dia. Diamond Wire. Note that 0.22mm Dia. The wire is very easy to break, please reduce feeding rate to the minimum. click the picture below to order spare diamond wires
- For longer wire life, please use LubeCool -150 Smart Solid Lubricant and Coolant
- For better lighting, please consider a Fiber Optic Y-shape Dual Light Microscope Illuminator

Wire tension system
|
- Standard: Steel spring wire tension system with break wire alarm
- Optional: Pneumatic tension system: The wire saw can be upgraded with the pneumatic tension system at extra cost. Because cutting wires with different diameters have different tension requirement for optimizing the cutting performance. With the pneumatic tensions system, the wire saw can handle different cutting wires from 0.1mm - 0.5mm dia. An air compressor is required. Please review pic.left and contact us for detail information.

Water Pump |
- One water pump is included for cooling diamond wire during cutting. (the pump voltage is the same as the saw voltage)
- You must use anti-corrosive oil or radiator water as coolant ( buy from any auto store )
- Warning: must clean the machine after each cutting, especially using tap water as the coolant to prevent rust.
|
Optional |
- Swing & Rotation Sample Fixture: Such fixture needs an independent controller for its parameter settings such as swing frequency/ angle (±23°, up to 20 swings/min), rotating speed and rounds (30rpm max.) Higher cutting surface quality can be expected by swinging or rotating the specimen throughout the cutting process. Please click Pic.2 &3 and video to learn more details. The fixture will enhance cutting speed up to 2 times
