A multi-wire saw is a cutting machine designed to slice hard materials. This device is especially important in the solar cell industry for slicing wafers to produce solar cells. Over 80% of the world's solar cell production requires the cutting of silicon ingots into wafers, as a result, multi-wire sawing is an important process in the photovoltaic and microelectronics industries.
