Diamond wire saws usually consist of three parts: diamond beads, wire rope and fixing material. Their respective functions are as follows:
Diamond Beads: Diamond beads are the most critical part of the diamond wire saw, made of diamond particles. Diamond is one of the hardest substances on earth, with excellent wear resistance and cutting properties. The role of the diamond bead is to contact the material to be cut during the cutting process, and realize the cutting and crushing of the material through the sharp edge and hardness of the diamond particles.
Wire rope: The wire rope is the part that supports and transmits power of the diamond wire saw. It is usually braided from multiple strands of steel wire for high strength and durability. The role of the wire rope is to provide sufficient tension and cutting force so that the diamond beads can effectively cut the material. The wire rope is also flexible and bendable to suit cutting tasks of different shapes and sizes.
Fixing material: The fixing material is the part that fixes the diamond beads on the wire rope. It can be a material such as metal, plastic or rubber. The role of the fixing material is to firmly fix the diamond beads on the wire rope to ensure that its position is stable and not easy to fall off. The fixing material can also provide a certain buffer and shock absorption effect during the cutting process, reducing the impact and damage to the diamond beads.
To sum up, the diamond beads are used for cutting materials, the wire rope provides the function of supporting and transmitting force, and the fixing material fixes the diamond beads on the wire rope and provides a cushioning effect. These three parts work together to enable the diamond wire saw to cut efficiently.
But in actual work, the components of the diamond wire saw will change, because the wire saw in the cutting process needs to complete the cutting in a closed loop. Therefore, the wire saw under the closed loop usually consists of the following parts:
Diamond Beads Layer: The key part of the diamond wire saw is the cutting layer composed of diamond particles. Diamond particles are welded or embedded on a metal or plastic substrate to form evenly distributed cutting particles.
Wire Rope: The cutting layers of a diamond wire saw are usually connected to each other by one or more high-strength metal wire ropes. Wire saw ropes can be wire or steel wire ropes that are strong and durable enough to withstand the tension and stress of the cutting process.
Fixed connection part, including ring (Fixing Connector) and connecting material (usually spring, rubber or plastic): The two ends of the wire rope are usually fixed on a metal connecting ring for fixing and connecting the wire saw wire. The connecting ring can be welded, steel or other materials to ensure the firm connection and stable operation of the wire saw rope.
In addition to the basic structure mentioned above, diamond wire saws are usually equipped with some auxiliary devices, such as tensioning devices, guide wheels, lubrication devices, etc., which are used to adjust the tension of the wire saw rope, maintain the correct cutting direction and provide necessary lubrication and cool down.
The above is the general composition of the diamond wire saw cutting process, and the specific design and construction may vary according to different application requirements and manufacturers. This structure makes the diamond wire saw have the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance and high-efficiency cutting, and is suitable for cutting stone, concrete, metal and other materials.
