Send us a sample of the material you need to cut. We cut it on our own diamond wire saw and send back a process report — wire specification, Vorschubgeschwindigkeit, surface finish and cycle time — at no cost and no obligation.
What you get back
- Wire recommendation — diameter, abrasive grit and bond type for your material, with the reason for each choice.
- Process parameters — feed rate, wire speed and tension as actually run on your sample.
- Gemessene Ergebnisse — cut time, kerf width, and surface roughness (Ra) where the material allows measurement.
- Photographs of the cut face and the entry/exit edges, at magnification.
- A machine recommendation — the platform that would run this part in production, und warum.
What to send
One piece is usually enough. Two is better if the material is inhomogeneous.
| Artikel | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Sample size | Enough for 3–5 cuts. Typischerweise 50 × 50 mm, or a full section of the profile you actually cut. |
| Quantity | 1–2 pieces. For very expensive material a single small offcut is fine. |
| Material data | Grade, Härte, density or datasheet if you have one. If not, tell us what it is used for. |
| Target requirement | What the cut has to achieve: Toleranz, Oberflächenqualität, edge quality, or minimum strength retention. |
| Constraints | Anything the process must not do — no coolant residue, no heat, no chipping on a specific face. |
Mark the intended cut line on the sample if orientation matters. For anisotropic materials — composites, single crystals, graphite grades — orientation is often the difference between a clean cut and a failed one.
How it works
- You send the form. We reply within one working day with the shipping address and any questions about the material.
- You ship the sample. Mark the parcel as a sample of no commercial value. We will tell you the correct declaration wording if customs is a concern.
- We cut and measure. Typically 3–5 working days after arrival, longer for materials that need parameter development.
- You get the report. PDF, with parameters and photographs, plus a machine recommendation if the process is viable in production.
What this is not
It is not a production run, and it is not a quotation exercise. We run the test cut because the result is the only honest basis for recommending a wire specification — generic parameter tables transfer badly between materials. If we conclude your material is not a good fit for diamond wire, we will say so in the report.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Is it really free?
Ja. There is no charge for the cut or the report, and no obligation to buy. You cover the cost of shipping the sample to us.
Do you return the sample?
We can, if you ask. Most customers prefer to keep the cut pieces for their own inspection.
What if my material is hazardous?
Tell us before shipping. Beryllium ceramics, some refractory compounds and dust-generating materials need handling arrangements agreed in advance.
Can you cut under NDA?
Ja. Send the form, tell us you need an NDA, and we will send one before any material ships.
How large a sample can you take?
Up to roughly 200 mm in the cut direction on our standard platforms. Larger sections are possible — ask first and we will confirm.
