Overview


MWS-SiC6 is Takatori's multi-wire saw for SiC ingots. Many wires run side by side to cut many wafers at once from hard SiC ingots. It is specified as optimal for cutting 6-inch SiC.

A rigid structure achieves precise cutting, and a control system for stable operation is built in. It has a mechanism that reduces consumption of consumables and functions to monitor and manage operating status.

SiC is very hard, takes a long time to cut and drives up the cost of consumables such as wire. As demand for substrates grows with the spread of SiC power devices, the stability and cost of the cutting process have become important.
