Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a wire saw and, particularly but not exclusively, relate to a wire saw for cutting stones in mining and quarrying applications. The wire saw (200, 300) comprises a wire (201, 301). A plurality of cutting beads (202A, 302A) are fixed to the wire (201, 301) at predetermined distances. Each of the cutting bead (202A, 302A) comprises a resilient element (202, 302) having a bore (203). A ceramic bead (204, 304) is adapted on the resilient element (202, 302). Plurality of crevices (C) are defined between adjacent turns (T) of the resilient element (202, 302). An encapsulation material (E) is injected inside the bore (203). Therefore, the encapsulation material (E) hardens to simultaneously, fix the cutting bead (202A, 302A) with the wire (201, 301), as well as grip each crevice (C) with the encapsulation material (E) to form the cutting bead (202A, 302A).
Abstract:
What is disclosed is a blade core for attachment with an endless chain assembly. The blade core is a generally circular disc having two opposing faces and a width between the faces. The blade core has a circumferential groove extending inward from the circumference of the blade core such that the drive links, or the tang of the drive links, extends from the chain located on the circumference of the circular disc inward in said groove. Ideally the width of the groove is proximate to the width of the drive link such that friction between the sides of the groove and the drive link prevent the chain from rotating along the circumference of the circular disc when the blade core and endless chain assembly are rotating to cut a material. Ideally the base of tie-strap-tie strap and tie strap-cutter assembly is the same as width of the rail to restrict lateral movement.
Abstract:
Saw cords used for sawing natural or manmade stony materials are made of saw beads threaded on a steel cord (52,522,522'), wherein the saw beads are separated by polymer spacers. The saw beads comprise a metal sleeve (204, 304) of which the outer surface is covered with an abrasive layer. The inventors observed that saw cords returning from the field frequently failed due to saw beads that begin to rotate during use thereby eroding away the polymer between the steel cord and the inner of the saw bead. Eventually, the polymer is worn away and the outer steel filaments of the steel cord are ground away due to the interaction with saw dust and water. The inventors provide the inner surface of the sleeve with two sets (214) of parallel grooves in a first (206, 306) and second (208,308) axial part of the sleeve. The two sets of parallel grooves differ in at least one of the groove angle (α,β), the groove offset (Δ) or the groove spacing (1l, D2), thereby preventing axial movement of the sleeve and blocking the rotation of the saw bead.

Abstract:
A superabrasive wire saw having a plurality of individual coated superabrasive particles (14) attached to a wire (10) with an organic binder (42) is disclosed and described. The superabrasive particle (46) can be coated with a solidified coating (48) of a molten braze alloy that is chemically bonded to the superabrasive particle (46). The organic binder ( 42) can optionally contain filler materials and/or an organometallic coupling agent to improve the retention of coated superabrasive particles (14). The resulting superabrasive wire saws (28) can be produced having diameters of less than 0.5 mm, which significantly reduce kerf loss. Various methods for making and using such a superabrasive wire saw are additionally disclosed and described.

A diamond wire (1) is disclosed for cutting stone material comprising a support cable (2) with around it a plurality of cutting bushes (3) and a plurality of elastic means (5). The cuttting bushes (3) comprise: an hollow cylindric support (10); at least one diamond cutting sector (12) connected to an external surface of the support (10); and at least one non-diamond support/cutting sector (14) connected to the external surface of the support (10) and laterally connected to the cutting sector (12).
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing tubular supports (4) designed to support respective diamond cutting members (3) to obtain diamond beads (5) coupled to a flexible support structure (2) for manufacturing a wire (1) for cutting slabs from blocks of stone material. The method comprises the following steps: providing at least one metallic laminar element (6) defining a longitudinal axis (R) that includes a pair of edges (7) at opposite sides with respect to the axis (R); bending the at least one metallic laminar element (6) around the axis (R) up to the reciprocal matching of said edges (7); permanently joining the edges (7); obtaining the tubular support (4). Upon the bending step the at least one laminar metallic element (6) includes at least one operative face (10) having a plurality of grooves and/or recesses (11) spaced apart each other susceptible to define the inner wall (12) of the tubular support (4). The grooves and/or recesses (11) are made so as to define a plurality of receptacles (11') susceptible to house the polymeric material of the spacer elements (9) upon manufacturing the cutting wire (1).
Abstract:
In a sawing cord the three constituting elements of steel cord, sawing bead and sleeve polymer in between the beads must work optimally together. In order to improve the injection moulding quality the inventors disclose an injection mould wherein the injection channels inject polymer from opposite sides of the steel cord into the injection cavity. The injection mould comprises two half moulds that form the injection cavity when closed. Different preferred embodiments are described inclusive the use of channels having a tree structure, preferably a binary channel tree, preferably a balanced binary tree and most preferred a balanced binary tree with equal length pathways from feed channel to each injection channel. The use of heated channels is disclosed and the rules for balancing between the number of heated versus non-heated channels are explained. Furthermore the method to use such mould and the product resulting from the use of the mould are claimed.
