摘要： A micro-machining system (6) configured for cutting an elongate object (8), including a clamp (52) configured to enable repeatedly releasing and then holding the elongate object in a position suitable for cutting the elongate object (8) transversely relative to its lengthwise axis, and a manipulating means, which can include a pinch roller feed (54) configured to advance the elongate element (8) and to rotate it about a lengthwise axis of the elongate object, thereby moving the elongate object (8) so that it can be disposed in the position suitable for cutting, and a cutter (36) configured for forming the at least one precision cut in the elongate object (18) to a desired depth, under the control of a controller (80).
