Yasunaga, Pioneer in the Wire Saw market
We have accomplished the enhancement of wire saw's characteristic advantages in the processing speed, accuracy and efficiency, making the best use of the world-proven high technologies we have studied. Under the concept of "Upgrading of Productivity" and "Ecologically Friendly Wire Saw", we head for further developments.

What is Wire Saw?......
A wire (a piano wire of φ0.08 to 0.16mm) is wound around several hundred times along the groove of guide roller. Free abrasive grains (a mixture of grains and cutting oils) are applied to the wire while it keeps running. The abrasive grains rolled on the wire work to enable cutting of a processing object into several hundred slices at one time. It is mostly used to cut electronic materials.
The free abrasive grains roll to impart fine destruction to the processing object and wear themselves losing their corners at the same time as making the wire slim. So, the free grains are fed all the time with a cycle from a tank. As for the wire, it is replaced with a new one little by little. You can say that wire saws have far more cutting edges than the diamond blades (with diamond grains adhered electrically on the external or internal circumference of a thin disk) competing with wire saws, and it follows that wire saws are superior in cutting hard materials difficult for processing. In addition, cutting cost can be figured out clearly depending on the diameter of wire and abrasive grain.
Features
Productivity
Improved material yield with fine wire
Wire reciprocation with high wire speed and cycle makes cutting speed and cutting precision improved.
 
Operability and Maintenance
Automatic wire winding at the roller area can be accomplished by using a piece of tape.
・  Easy removal of used wire by utilizing a split-type of wire take-up reel.
Simple design by which each drive is run by a servomotor.
Front cover opens to 180 degree ease of maintenance.

Easy three rollers exchange.


Reliability and Durability
Linear guides insure the precision straightness of the lift table movement.
Three rollers are supported on both ends by a roller holder in order to maintain the wire saw's slicing precision and rigidity.
Rigidity analysis using 3D CAD promotes lighter machine weight without sacrificing rigidity.


Lineup for U-Series, SW-Series,
and Sulrry Recycler

U-600
A 6-inch high speed processing machine using fine wires to process slices or dicing of crystals as well as precision angle processing represented by quartz AT cutting.
SW-1215
Power up succeeding machine of U-400 which was suitable for processing slices to Si, GaAs, GaP, InP, LT, LN and LBO as well as blocks of crystalline and a best seller!!
SW-series
The high efficiency machine that is suitable for high-precision processing of crystal (AT),GaAs, LT/LN, etc. Reduced the cost guide roller consumable to only one-thirds compared with past model.
TW-320
Achieved constant & stable processing of silicon for solar application with the φ0.12mm wire. Contribution to cost reduction both by an improved yield and by high-precision processing.

UD-150
A machine for dicing suitable for processing crystal and ceramic, etc. It supports a wider cutting width up to 15mm.


Slurry Recycler
Slurry Recycler reducing both consumable cost and environmental waste by effectively reclaiming used slurry. Excellent reclaim rateof usable abrasive grains from used slurry, which enable to reduce running coat substantially.
