How a Diamond Wire Saw Works

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Corediam.

The origins of the Diamond Wire Saw go back a long way. The practice of using diamonds for cutting hard materials can be traced back to Egypt as far back as BC. However, the industrial type of diamond wire saw we use today is a much more recent development and originates back to in England in the &#;s, when diamond electroplated beads were threaded onto a multi-strand steel cable. Over the next 30 years various companies refined the process (which was also helped by the production of synthetic diamonds becoming more efficient) and the first commercially viable solution was used at Carrara marble quarries in Italy in the late s.

What&#;s different about the Diamond Wire Saw?

The diamond wire saw cutter differs from others, such as the bandsaw, by using abrasion instead of saw teeth. Thanks to the hardness of diamonds, the abrasion technique can be used to cut through almost any material that is softer than the diamond abrasive. The process also produces less kerf and wasted materials when compared with conventional solid blades. The wire cutter also allows circular cutting on all sides, preventing the wire from getting pinched and is therefore an effective method of resisting compressive forces while cutting a wide range of materials.

The Diamond Wire Rope

The rope used on an industrial diamond wire saw machine is a made from a loop of high tensile steel connected by a mechanical joiner. On the outside of the rope are carrier rings, on which diamonds are either sintered or retained by an electroplated layer.  The final assembled diamond rope is then coated with an elastomeric compound, which helps to retain the components and to protect against corrosion. This results in a typical diameter over the carrier rings being around 10mm to 11mm.

Machine construction and operation

Each item in the Mirage diamond wire saw cutting machine range is constructed from a high strength and lightweight aluminium frame which includes anode protection to protect against corrosion. All machines have three separate hydraulic circuits, each requiring their own hydraulic supply; these are &#;Cut&#;, &#;Feed&#; & &#;Clamp&#;. The adjustable power clamping system uses two hydraulically powered arms which pivot inwards to provide easy and secure remote control mounting on a range of different diameter work pieces.

Features of the Mirage Diamond Wire Saw range
  • A range of models available capable of cutting 6&#; to 84&#; pipe
  • Hydraulic clamping and auto feed capability
  • Diver and ROV compatible
  • Diamond wire saw rental or purchase options available.

Introduction of diamond wire saw cutting method

Author&#;Huada Quarrying Machine FROM&#;Stone quarry machine manufacturer TIME&#;-05-17

As everyone in the stone industry knows, diamond wire saw cutting technology is a safer and more efficient cutting method than traditional demolition technology. Today, let's introduce the method of diamond wire saw cutting

 


Working principle


 

Hydraulic diamond wire saw cutting is driven by hydraulic motor, the diamond wire moves around the cutting surface at high speed to grind the cutting body and complete the cutting work. Due to the use of diamond particles as abrasive material, it can be used to cut stone, reinforced concrete and other hard objects.

a) Because diamond is used as grinding material, any hard object can be cut and separated.

b) The cutting is driven by the hydraulic motor, the hydraulic pump runs smoothly, and the hydraulic motor can be controlled remotely through the high-pressure oil pipe, so the vibration and noise in the cutting process is very small, and the cutting energy can be statically separated in a stable situation.

c) During the cutting process, the high-speed running diamond rope is cooled by water and the grinding debris is taken away. The circulating water produced can be collected and reused.

d) Not limited by the shape and size of the object to be cut, it can be cut in any direction, such as diagonal direction, vertical direction, horizontal direction, etc.

e) The cutting speed and power of hydraulic diamond wire saw are faster than other cutting methods.

 


Scope of application


 

a) Large reinforced concrete structure cutting demolition, such as the whole building cutting demolition.

b) All kinds of reinforced concrete bridge, abutment, pier and foundation cutting demolition.

c) Cutting of underwater structures with high technical difficulty.

d) Cultural relics moving and cutting, cliff stone carving stripping and cutting.

e) Cutting of cylindrical structures, such as tall chimneys.

f) Subway station, nuclear power station and other buildings with special requirements for vibration and noise caused by construction are cut and demolished.

g) Stone quarry mining, processing and cutting.



Technical standards


 

a) The direction change of the rope is realized by the combined installation of the guide wheel. During the construction process, the installation of the guide wheel and the position relationship in the driving wheel should be skillfully designed to meet the cutting requirements.

b) The wire cutting speed of the rope shall not be less than 18m / s.

c) The quality standard of diamond rope should meet the requirements of the maximum tensile strength in the cutting process.
