Import Tips
• Supply wire saw specifications showing diamond wire compatibility and kerf loss tolerances
• Include vibration analysis data proving suitability for sub-micron wafer thickness control
• Classify as complete assemblies rather than individual bearings to maintain semiconductor specificity
