The MicroAce 66 is a 6” automatic dicing saw configured with a 2.4kW spindle as standard whilst other spindle set-ups are also available to suit a variety of applications including demanding and thick substrate cutting. The MicroAce 66 can be used for a wide range of applications, not just for dicing silicon wafers. It offers a high level of configurability to get the best performance out of your application.Underpinning the MicroAce 66’s performance is the Loadpoint NanoControl control system; a common control platform used across all our machines. NanoControl uses a Loadpoint developed force-sensitive keypad with integrated tracker ball that provides a highly productive interface that is also robust for many years of service.Another feature of NanoControl is that it can be developed bespoke to a customer’s application. This could involve taking the manual hassle out of calculating complex cut patterns or could involve easy generation of 3D cutting profiles.

MacroAce II for heavier duty applications requiring high power spindle delivery and large work areas. The MacroAce II offers a unique combination of dicing machine performance with CNC-like power and work area capability. The spindle’s drive profile has been optimised to give maximum 4KW power delivery in the 1,000 – 10,000rpm range, exactly where it is required for heavier duty ceramic & metal cutting applications. Additionally, cut depths of up to 55mm with cut lengths of up to 450mm help make the MacroAce II a best-in-class leader.The MacroAce II is frequently the first-choice system for cutting bulk ceramics and lower frequency PZT sonar arrays. The performance of the MacroAce II is underpinned by the Loadpoint NanoControl control system; a common control platform used across all our machines. Another feature of NanoControl is that it can be developed bespoke to a customer’s application. This could involve taking the manual hassle out of calculating complex cut patterns or could involve easy generation of 3D cutting profiles.
