Prism Cutting Machine
En SGR 20 is a specialized sierra de hilo diamantado designed for cutting optical glass and ceramic prisms with high precision. Equipped with a programmable rotary worktable, the system can rotate the workpiece to specified angles for multi-faceted slicing—making it ideal for producing triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, and polygonal prism blanks.
CARACTERÍSTICAS PRINCIPALES
- 1. Multi-Angle Prism Cutting Functionality
The rotary worktable can rotate 360°, allowing users to set precise prism angles. The system supports automated generation of triangles, squares, pentagons, octagons, and more—ideal for producing optical prism blanks. - 2. Automatic Slicing Capability
Operators can program different slicing thicknesses within a single job. Once the thickness and quantity are set, the machine automatically performs the full slicing sequence without supervision. - 3. Stable Vertical Structure with Enclosure
The SGR 40 uses a fully enclosed upright design with a steel frame and observation window, providing both safety and easy visual monitoring during the cutting process. - 4. Servo-Driven YZ Motion with Ball Screws
The slicing axes (Y and Z) use servo motors, linear guides, and ball screws for precise positioning—repeatability up to ±0,01 mm and feed resolution of 0.01 mm. - 5. Touchscreen + Manual Control Interface
A user-friendly English-language PLC system enables parameter setup via touchscreen, with a handheld controller for easy manual alignment and override. - 6. Integrated Water Cooling & Lubrication
Equipped with a water circulation system y automatic oil lubrication to ensure a clean, stable cutting environment.

CUTTING METHODS FOR PRISMS: COMPARISON OVERVIEW
Understanding the different cutting methods used in prism production helps you see where the SGR 40 fits in. Here’s a quick look at each method’s strengths and limitations:
| Método de corte | Suitable for Prisms | Ventajas | Limitaciones | Common Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SGR 40 (Rotary Wire Saw) |  Sí | Programmable angles, clean edges, multi-face slicing | Cannot cut curves | Optical glass, ceramic prisms |
| Manual Cutting + Hand Polishing |  Limitado | Low-cost, simple setup | Poor repeatability, labor-intensive | K9, small educational prisms |
| CNC Profile Grinding | Sí | Extremely high accuracy, angle control | Requires pre-cut blanks, expensive | Glass, optical crystals |
| Laser Cutting (High Power) | Conditional | Fast, non-contact | Heat-affected zone, edge cracking risk | Some glasses, low-hardness optics |
| Corte por chorro de agua | For rough shaping | Any shape, handles large blocks | Rough edges, requires rework | Quartz, ceramics |
| ID Saw |  No | Precise thin slicing | No angle or multi-surface capability | Flat wafers, ceramics |
