Device for the support, drive and/or transmission of motion to a diamond wire on machines for cutting stones

Abstract

A device for the support and/or drive of diamond wire of machines for cutting natural or agglomerate stones includes at least one pulley, wheel or drum for support and/or drive, provided with at least one groove for holding at least one diamond wire for cutting; soft material placed between the diamond wire and the winding groove of the said wire; wherein the soft material is wrapped around the pulley, wheel or drum but not fixed and is interposed in the winding of the diamond wire on it, along the winding arch, and is closed in a ring, similarly to a belt, with the winding of the said ring or belt also on a tightening wheel; furthermore, this tightening is achieved by using adjustment means for the tightening wheel to increase the wheelbase of the pulley, wheel or drum for the support and/or drive of the diamond wire in question.
