STX-200QX Diamond Wire Curve Cutting Machine for Non-Conductive Materials, Max Sample 400 x 400 x 100 mm with PC Control
The STX-200QX is engineered to address the challenge of cutting complex, irregular shapes from non-conductive materials such as ceramics and polymer composites. It supports samples up to 400 mm in length and width, and 100 mm in thickness, enabling precise shaping for research and production needs where traditional cutting methods fall short.
This machine operates through a diamond wire that moves at adjustable speeds up to 15 meters per second, guided by a PC-controlled system. Users input a 2D engineering drawing into the included software, which then automatically controls the cutting process with high positional accuracy and repeatability.
Key Features
- Capable of cutting samples up to 400 x 400 x 100 mm (L x W x T) with complex curves and straight lines.
- High precision travel resolution of 0.01 mm on X and Y axes with adjustable travel speeds from 0.06 to 6 mm/min.
- Diamond wire diameter 0.35 mm with 230 meters length per roll; one roll included.
- Diamond wire tension controlled pneumatically between 0.1 to 0.5 MPa for optimal cutting performance.
- Includes a dedicated PC with pre-installed software for creating cutting paths from 2D drawings and automating the cutting process.
- Integrated coolant water pump for wire cooling and recirculation, plus an air pump to maintain wire tension.
- Suitable for cutting a wide range of materials harder than most metals but softer than diamond, especially effective for non-conductive materials that cannot be cut by EDM.

Typical Applications
Ideal for cutting complex shapes in non-conductive materials such as advanced ceramics, polymer composites, and certain metals at low speeds. It is especially useful where electrical discharge machining (EDM) is not applicable due to material conductivity limitations.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The STX-200QX includes one roll of diamond wire and a dedicated laptop with software for control. Different materials require adjustment of cutting parameters, which must be optimized by the user. Diamond wire is consumable with typical service life under 30 hours at moderate cutting speeds; additional wire should be stocked. Optional certifications such as NRTL or CSA can be requested at extra cost. Online training is available upon request.
