摘要:
A wire saw machine having a wire supply source providing a plurality of strands of wire results in a wire saw system having parallel wires. The wire supply source feed spindle holds a supply source at a slight angle advance to allow the wire to transfer from the supply source to a grooved wire guide in a parallel manner. Two moveable wire guides are used to impart a back and forth motion to the wire over the cutting area and at the same time serve as an intermediate storage area for the wire being used in the cutting area. The wire supply source includes a plurality of individually rotatable wire reels. A friction disc is located between each of the individual wire reels and is held fixed with respect to the spindle.
摘要:
A cutting apparatus including a closed-loop saw blade extending around a portion of the periphery of a rotatable and tiltably mounted control wheel is disclosed. The blade is driven by a drive wheel and rotates the control wheel about its axis. The blade is moved in a cutting direction parallel to the plane of the blade by tilting the control wheel, the tilting motion providing very accurate control of the cutting depth of the blade. The blade is tensioned by a third wheel.
