diamond wire saw for ZnS

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is a key optical crystal widely used in infrared imaging systems, military optics, and precision manufacturing. While ZnS offers excellent infrared transmission and mechanical strength, it is also extremely brittle and prone to edge chipping during processing. Traditional cutting tools struggle to achieve clean, crack-free surfaces on ZnS, making advanced cutting technology essential. This article introduces how endless diamond wire saws provide an ideal solution for cutting ZnS materials with superior surface quality and minimal material loss. ZnS crystals are known for: These characteristics make it a challenging material to process, especially for thin wafers or precision lenses. Any mechanical or thermal stress can lead to microcracks […]
