The SG20-R with 360\u00b0 rotation enables both straight slicing and rotary cuts from a single setup, producing chip-free edges and Ra \u2264 0.8 \u03bcm surface finish suitable for direct epitaxial growth \u2014 minimizing costly secondary polishing. For high-volume flat substrate batches, the SGSM 40's swinging cut delivers excellent consistency.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\">Why is sapphire so difficult to cut?<\/div>\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale \u2014 second only to diamond. Its extreme hardness, combined with brittleness and sensitivity to thermal stress, means high-force cutting tools cause edge chipping, micro-cracks, and subsurface damage. The key to a successful <strong>sapphire cutting solution<\/strong> is very slow feed speed (0.1\u20130.8 mm\/min), stable wire tension, and effective oil cooling to prevent thermal stress.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\">What coolant is recommended for sapphire cutting?<\/div>\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">White mineral oil (industrial white oil) is the recommended coolant for sapphire cutting. It provides effective lubrication and heat removal without the chemical reactivity of water-based fluids. The oil also acts as a cutting fluid that carries debris away from the cut zone, protecting both the wire and the sapphire surface from contamination and thermal damage.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\">What feed speed is used for sapphire cutting?<\/div>\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Feed speed for sapphire cutting is 0.1\u20130.8 mm\/min \u2014 significantly slower than softer materials like graphite (50\u2013100 mm\/min). The slow feed is essential to prevent wire bow from the extreme cutting resistance of Mohs 9 sapphire. If feed speed is too high, the wire curves under load, causing dimensional deviation and surface waviness. Once your optimal parameters are found, they should be kept stable \u2014 our engineers can help set these during the free test cut.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\">Can the wire saw cut sapphire into complex shapes such as domes and cylinders?<\/div>\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Yes. Vimfun's SG20-R offers 360\u00b0 rotation cutting for cylindrical and domed sapphire components \u2014 covering aerospace IR window domes, cylindrical optical elements, and round watch glass blanks. The SH60-R handles larger cylindrical blanks up to \u00d8 600mm. Both machines enable complete shape cutting from a single clamping, eliminating repositioning errors.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-q\">What is the cutting precision for sapphire wire saw machines?<\/div>\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Our sapphire cutting solution achieves dimensional accuracy of \u00b10.03mm. As with all flexible wire cutting, the actual precision depends on maintaining correct feed speed and wire tension throughout the cut. Faster feed or lower tension increases wire bow and reduces dimensional accuracy. Our machines use servo-controlled feed and automatic tensioning to maintain consistent parameters across long production runs.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- CTA -->\n<section class=\"cta-section\" id=\"contact\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <h2>Ready to Improve Your Sapphire Cutting Process?<\/h2>\n    <p>Talk to a Vimfun cutting engineer about your sapphire processing requirements \u2014 wafer size, geometry, surface quality targets, and production volume.
