The Tcar®864-1 programmable dicing saw marks a new era in diamond grinding technology! Designed and manufactured in the United States by the industry leader in diamond grinding technology, the Tcar® 864-1 offers exceptional power, accuracy, chuck stability, and infinite programming flexibility!
Independent tests have proven Tcar’s heightsensing system to be the most accurate and fastest in the world, virtually infallible under the toughest load conditions! The chuck rotation system incorporates a patented braking and lock system insuring an extremely rigid mount at any angle.
The Tcar® 864-1’s pop-up SmartGrafix® window simplifies creating complex shapes such as the circular optical filter shown below.
The Tcar® 864-1 is controlled by the most advanced dicing software ever created, providing features that simplify the complex task of wafer dicing, thus saving you time and money. This includes the following patented features:
Flange Clearance Stop® - a patented program prevents the collision of the blade adapter’s periphery with the top surface of the workpiece during the dicing operation. This feature is also active when depth of cut is entered before any cut is actually made.
Wafer Zero® - until now, centering wafers on the chuck has been very difficult and time-consuming. Patented Wafer Zero® transfers the home position from the chuck to the wafer center where it is needed...automatically.
AlignOffset® - (Align here/cut there) allows alignments to be made on any portion of the wafer’s artwork without having to actually make a cut there. The first cut is made a specified distance (align offset®) from the alignment location. When dicing blank substrates, it is desirable to align to the edges of the wafer while placing the cuts a given distance inside the wafer’s boundaries. Set patented Align Offset® to any minimum distance required from the edge of a blank substrate and totally eliminate inadvertent skimming along the outer edges of the substrate, thereby saving the dicing blade.
Ordering information - The Tcar® 864-1 programmable dicing saw includes a precision flange, five Dicemaster® high-quality diamond blades, and chuck design personalized for your operation.
