The effects of the wire tension and the distance between guide rollers on the wire transverse motion on wire saw machine

Abstract

The transverse accuracy of a saw wire affects the cutting surface geometry in wire–saw slicing. This paper elucidates the effects of the center distance between the main rollers of a wire–saw machine and the wire tension on the transverse motion of a saw–wire under a quasi–static wire traveling motion, using a measuring device that we developed. As a result of it, the amplitude of wire transverse motion decreased with the increase of wire tension and the decrease of the center distance between the main rollers.
