- Processes that use blades with thicknesses exceeding 60 μm.
- Processing of wafers with large amounts of TEG on the street.
- Blade dicing after laser grooving.
Image of the blade tip shape
The ZHCR has properties that maintain regular blade shape for cutting processes where only the blade tip midsection wears easily.
Experimental Data
Tip shape and groove comparison (SEM Image)
As the cutting process progresses, the midsection of a regular blade becomes uneven and chipping increases. With the ZHCR, the normal shape of the blade is maintained.

Image of the blade tip shape change
These images show that how quality deterioration happens when the tip shape of a thick blade collapses. The ZHCR Series has properties that maintain a functional blade tip shape.
Quality deterioration caused by the collapse of the blade tip shape includes kerf widening, sudden chipping, curving of 2-axes step cut and workpiece damage.

To use these DISCO blades and wheels (hereafter precision tooling) safely...
Please read carefully and follow the instructions below to prevent any accidents or injuries:
- USE a safety cover (nozzle case, cover), equipped as a standard accessory, to avoid injury.
- DO NOT EXCEED the specified rpm limit indicated on the precision tooling.
- FOLLOW the instruction manual of the equipment to mount the precision tooling properly.
- DO NOT DROP OR HIT the precision tooling. This may cause breakage or injury.
- Always CHECK the precision tooling for chipping or any other damage before starting to use it. DO NOT USE the tooling if there is any damage.
- READ the operation manual of the cutting/grinding equipment before use.
- DO NOT USE the precision tooling with modified or customized equipment.
- DO NOT USE precision tooling that has a different size from the one recommended for your equipment.
- DO NOT USE the precision tooling for any other purpose than grinding, cutting, or polishing.
- Always USE water or coolant to prevent precision tooling damage.
