Cutting PEEK with Diamond Wire Loop: Precision Slicing Test
Abstract: This article presents a precision slicing test on PEEK (polyether ether ketone) using a diamond wire loop. The workpiece was a 200 mm × 60 mm × 60 mm PEEK block provided by European customer H, sliced into 6.5 mm-thick pieces on an Ensoll ESO-GM gantry-type diamond wire loop cutting machine. We report the equipment and wire selection, cutting parameters, cooling strategy, and quantitative quality metrics including Total Thickness Variation (TTV), thickness tolerance, surface roughness (Ra), and edge chipping....
