  • Simple handling
  • Cutting / Squaring / Chamfering / Cropping blocks


Increased productivity

Diamond tipped sawing bands are successfully used for cutting and chamfering of silicon ingots. Galvanic bonded diamonds feature a high number of cutting edges, which results in an excellent cutting performance. The continous monitoring of the band tension combined with the aerostatic band guides ensure a precise cut with maximum surface quality and productivity.
