Alumina scribing

Ceramic components can be separated by drilling a series of closely spaced blind holes along the required cutting line. The ceramic is then broken cleanly along this line. In many cases this “scribe and break” technique is faster and more reliable than full cutting. The hole depth and separation must be precisely controlled in order to ensure a clean break. The Luxinar SR 15i is particularly well suited to this application, offering pulse widths up to 1 millisecond for complete control of the scribing depth.
