A diamond wire cutter is a processing device that cuts materials by fixing diamond abrasive grains onto a wire-shaped core and running it at high speed. Since diamond is an extremely hard substance, it is suitable for cutting high-hardness materials that are difficult to process with conventional blades, such as metals, stone, concrete, and semiconductor materials. It is used in various industrial fields as a cutting technology that combines precision and efficiency.
Key features include low cutting resistance and minimal load on the material. Because cutting is performed via line contact with the wire, stress on the cut surface is dispersed, making cracks and chips less likely to occur. Another major advantage is the small kerf width, which minimizes material loss. Furthermore, the use of cooling water or processing fluid suppresses heat generation and improves processing accuracy and tool life.
Types are classified into fixed-abrasive diamond wires, electroplated, resin-bonded, and metal-bonded types. Electroplated types have high abrasive grain retention and excellent initial cutting performance. Resin-bonded types produce smooth cut surfaces and are suitable for precision processing. Metal-bonded types have high wear resistance, long life, and enable stable cutting. In terms of equipment, there are stationary, portable, and multi-axis control types, selected based on the processing target and work environment.
In terms of applications, representative uses include slicing silicon ingots and sapphire substrates in the semiconductor field and manufacturing wafers for solar cells. In the construction field, they are used for cutting and dismantling concrete structures, bridges, and dams. Furthermore, in stone processing, they are used for block cutting of marble and granite, as well as precision shape processing. They are also utilized for cutting metal materials and composite materials, and for sample preparation in research and development.
Diamond wire cutters are a cutting technology that achieves high-precision, low-damage processing. As materials become more functional and larger, there is a growing demand for balancing processing accuracy and efficiency, making their importance increasingly high. It is expected that with advancements in abrasive grain and control technologies, higher-performance and more versatile diamond wire cutters will continue to be developed and utilized across a wide range of industrial fields.
