Electroplated Band Saw

Product Details

Electroplated band saw for highly efficient cutting of silicon ingots

Thin-blade type band saw with diamond electroplated on a high-tensile steel band. It cuts large-diameter silicon ingots and other large-diameter work materials efficiently with high precision. It is also used for cutting carbon, ceramics, glass, and other materials, and can be manufactured in sizes compatible with various machines.
The segment type is suitable for cutting brittle materials and has excellent cutting performance and long life. It is especially suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency cutting of single crystal silicon.
The serrated type is widely used for wide products and demonstrates excellent sharpness for cutting difficult-to-cut materials, and is also ideal for cutting work materials that are prone to blade edge clogging.
The continuous type is used for a wide range of applications from narrow to wide products. The continuous electroplated layer on the cutting edge reduces saw marks on the cutting surface of the work material and is effective in cutting hard work materials.

Application

• Cutting of silicon ingots, carbon, ceramics and glass
• General cutting applications

Bond Type

• Electroplated

Product characteristics

Blade edge shapes

Type	Abrasive grain layer	feature
Continuous		◆Continuous electrode posited layer on the cutting edge reduces saw marks on the cut surface of the work piece and gives good surface finishing. ◆Very suitable for dry cutting of hard carbon materials, cermics and glass.
Segmented (Half moon type)		◆Provides excellent cutting ability and durability of cutting hard and brittle materials. ◆Suitable for precision and efficient cutting of mono-crystal silicon. ◆Also features a unique electrodeposition pattern that improves cutting performance. (Patented product)
V Shape *Product design rights registered		◆Uses are similar to segmented type. ◆Making the shape triangular helps disperse cutting resistance, reducing crack's in the base metal.
Serrated		◆Ideal for cutting soft work piece when the cutting edge is prone to dogging. ◆Demon strates excellent sharpness on processing difficult-to-cut material.
