Abstract
A wire saw which is simple in construction and which, in practice, can effortlessly handle workpieces of any dimensions, yet requires relatively little space, in particular with diamond chip studding on the reciprocating part of the saw wire; the wire saw includes two reels provided with thread-like grooves and arranged on respective shafts for receiving the finite saw wire whereby each reel is operatively connected with a rotary drive in such a manner as to assure synchronization in the direction of rotation and rotational speed; the sawing place is thereby located between the reels.
Claims20
A wire saw including a reel means for receiving a finite saw wire, said reel means being arranged on a shaft, being provided with thread-like grooves and being displaceable in its longitudinal axis, a rotary drive means operatively connected with said reel means, and an axially parallel wire holder structure disposed opposite the reel means, whereby the sawing plane is located between the reel means and the wire holder srtucture, characterized in that the wire holder structure includes at least one further reel means with thread-like grooves and displaceable in the direction of its longitudinal axis which, as regards its direction of rotation and rotational speed, is synchronized with the rotary drive means and further means operable to displace the reel means in opposite direction to the axial wire displacement and to maintain thereby the cutting plane of the wire with respect to the workpiece.
