Abstract
Arc saw blades and systems and methods for segmenting components utilizing improved arc saw blades.
Claims7
An arc saw blade drive assembly, comprising:
- a blade drive assembly housing coupled to a translational rail assembly;
- and
- a circular arc saw blade comprising a center hole and coupled via a pivot pin disposed through the center hole to the blade drive assembly housing and selectively operable to be reoriented about the pivot pin from a first orientation with respect to the blade drive assembly housing to a second orientation with respect to the blade drive assembly housing, the circular arc saw blade further comprising:
- (i) a solid core material sandwiched between insulation layers that comprise epoxy coatings;
- (ii) a plurality of primary slits arranged about the area of the circular arc saw blade and extending radially inward from a first radial location located at a first radial distance from the center of the circular arc saw blade to a second radial location located at a second radial distance from the center of the circular arc saw blade;
- and
- (iii) a plurality of secondary slits arranged about the area of the circular arc saw blade and extending radially inward from the second radial location to a third radial location located at a third radial distance from the center of the circular arc saw blade, and wherein each slit of the plurality of primary slits is separated from an adjacent slit of the plurality of secondary slits by being offset by a slit separation angle.
