Quartz Slicing Machine
The SH60-R is a high-precision horizontal endless diamond wire saw engineered for slicing quartz blocks, technical ceramics, and other hard, brittle materials. Equipped with a fully programmable YZ-axis motion system and a rotating loading table, SH60-R delivers consistent, chip-free cuts ideal for high-purity optical, semiconductor, and scientific glass applications.
Key Features
Endless Diamond Wire Cutting
Uses electroplated high-speed diamond wire loop to cut any material softer than diamond — including quartz, optical glass, silicon, and ceramics.Fully Programmable Slicing
Set your desired slice thickness and cutting speed, and the machine will complete the process automatically with ±0.01 mm feed precision.YZ Axis Motion + Rotary Platform
Dual-axis (YZ) linear system driven by servo motors, with a 360° continuously rotating worktable for consistent slicing surface contact.Touchscreen Interface
Equipped with a user-friendly English-language PLC system with touchscreen and hand controller for easy operation.Integrated Water Cooling & Circulation System
Built-in water tank and recirculation system ensure clean, low-temperature operation for sensitive optical materials.Automatic Lubrication System
Key moving parts are automatically lubricated to reduce wear and extend equipment lifespan, requiring minimal manual maintenance.Oil Mist Recovery Unit
Enclosed cutting chamber with built-in oil mist collection system, maintaining a cleaner, safer working environment during high-speed cutting.

Quartz Block Slicing
For optical substrates, IR windows, and high-purity photonic components.
Ceramic Material Processing
Suitable for Al₂O₃, AlN, Si₃N₄, and other engineering ceramics used in electronics and optics.
Optical Glass Plate Cutting
For clean slicing of optical components such as filter substrates or laser windows.
Semiconductor Material Pre-processing
For slicing silicon ingots or related high-value brittle materials.
What is the maximum thickness the machine can handle for cutting?
What is the difference between this wire saw and BAND SAW?
The cutting speed would be similar, but wire saw’s cut surface quality is far more better. and the kerf loss is smaller.
