Precision Diamond Wire Saw With Swing Rotary Sample Fixture and Microscope Monitoring - STX-202P


In stock
Item Number: STX202P
Transported by LTL Freight (Truck)

Personalization

STX-202P is a CE-certified, small precision diamond wire saw for cutting samples ≤ 2" diameter or square up to 50mm thick. It is designed to provide low-stress cuts for various materials such as fragile crystals and TEM or IC samples. It is a premium version upgraded from STX-202A since Mar 2017 with additional add-ons including: 
- Through-microscope viewing enables accurate positioning for initializing the first cut
- Swing / Rotary Sample Fixture promotes higher efficiency and better cut surface quality
- Pneumatic wire tension control system with digital pressure regulator helps maintain stable wire tension during the cut while providing better adaptability to wires as thin as 0.12mm
- Ultra-thin sectioning up to 0.06 mm for some strong materials


SPECIFICATION:
Power 
  • Wire Saw Control Consol: Universal 110V or 240VAC  50/60Hz, 200W max. 
Structure             


  • Premium Add-ons (Through-Microscope viewing, Swing/Rotary Fixture, Pneumatic Wire tension control) for a precise, efficient and high-quality cut
  • Heavy-duty aluminum alloy structure with compact size

Through-Microscope Viewing                

  • Through-microscope viewing allows you to pick up small details on the sample which is essentially invisible to the eye. Thus, accurate positioning for the cuts is supported
  • Li-ion battery-powered microscope provides up to 5 hours of continuous operation
  • The monitor is NOT included, the microscope is connected to an Andriod or IOS device through an App.

Swing / Rotary Sample Fixture
  • Such fixture has an independent controller for its parameter settings such as swing frequency/ angle (±23°, up to 20 swings/min), and rotating speed (30rpm max.) Cycles. Higher cutting surface quality can be expected by swinging or rotating the specimen throughout the cutting process. Please click Pic.2 &3 and the video clip to learn more details
  • 110~240VAC to 24VDC power adapter is included

Pneumatic tension system

  • The wire saw features a pneumatic tension system for optimizing the cutting performance and wire adaptability. With such a system, the wire saw can handle different cutting wires from 0.12mm - 0.5mm dia.
  • An air compressor is required. The Air compressor should be set between 30 - 40 PSI in order to cooperate with the system
  • Optional: Digital Pressure regulator 0~130PSI (+/-3% full span accuracy)
  • For the gauge parameter setting, please refer to the first picture below
                
Motor-Driven Stage   
  • Z-axis: 50mm,  automatically controlled by the digital panel
  • Y-axis: 50mm,  automatically controlled by the digital panel
  • Two-dimension sample stage built-in  360° degree horizontal rotating and +/-10° tilting
                 
Cutting parameters

  • Feed Speed: 0.01 mm/min to 40 mm/min adjustable
  • Back Speed: 1 mm/min to 100 mm/min adjustable
  • Spooler spin speed: 1-260 RPM adjustable
  • Cutting depth: 0.1 - 50mm  
  • Positional accuracy: +/- 0.01 mm

Controller & Touch Screen
  • Touch screen controller sets wire travel speed, cutting speed along the Z-axis, and cutting width along the Y-axis
            
Lubricant Refill Cup

  • For the oil refill cup behind the spooler motor, please apply 10-15 drops of Anti-Wear Oil before first use.
  • Wire spooler motor, 3 Amps, Torque = 1.8Nm

  • ≤ 15 meters used for each installation
  • One spool of 0.35mm Dia x 20-meter length Diamond Wire is included for immediate use
  • Diamond Blade Dressing Stone is included for keeping the wire sharp.
  • Optional:
    • For slicing or dicing brittle crystal, you may order 0.125 mm Dia. Diamond Wire. Note: The wire is very easy to break, please reduce the feeding rate to the minimum
    • Click the picture left to order spare diamond wires 
Wire tension system Steel spring wire tension system with break wire alarm 

Water Pump

Application Notes

  • The flow rate of the coolant is adjustable by the valve in the blue feeding tubing. Please adjust it properly to improve cutting performance. 
  • Please use the correct cutting fluid. Don't use tap water or any other fluid that would cause corrosion of machine parts. 
  • Must clean the machine after each use.
  • Wire saws applications
  • The wire saw can be placed inside the glovebox with N2 gas via feedthrough at the extra cost
Warnings
  • It is required to use proper cutting fluid with the saw to prevent corrosion of the machine components. We strongly recommend you use an oil-based coolant or lube cool lubricant with the water. Do not use tap water directly, the rust component is not part of the warranty.
  • Do not over-flush the sample stage, it may rust the Z-axis step motor.
  • It is required to apply 10-15 drops of Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil (ISO 32) using an oil can(#19)  before first-time use or continue working for 150 hours.
  • The general-purpose grease should be added to the motor shaft periodically,
  • Never cut any materials without the use of proper cutting fluid. If you do so, serious damages can be caused 
  • For cutting sticky materials such as non-ferrous alloy, epoxy, and plastic, you must sharpen diamond wire frequently. We suggest cutting the sample along with the included dressing stone (Glue sample and the dressing stone side by side and cutting them together, this process will help keep the wire sharp enough for efficient cutting. 
  • Please clean the machine after the completion of each use.
