There are various tools for cutting stones used in the construction industry. One of the best and most efficient tools used to cut stones is a stone cutter. The main advantage of stone cutting machines compared to other machines in the market for cutting stones are two things; firstly, the manpower and operator needed to cut stones with this machine is reduced. The second positive feature of stone cutting machines is that they are easier to work with and require less work experience. A stone cutting machine consists of several different components. In the following, we introduce the components of cutting devices.
Machine stone engine
The engine is the heart of any device. The more powerful the motor used and the higher the output power, the more powerful the device will be. Depending on the type of devices used, motors with an output power of 1.5 to 4 kW are used in stone cutting machines. 1.5 kW motors are mounted on portable stone crushers. Because, as their name suggests, they must have a suitable weight so that the operator can carry it. 4 kW motors are also installed in fixed stone cutting machines used in stone cutting workshops. These devices are fixed and there is no need to move them. So, heavier engines can be used on them. One of the main problems and challenges that may arise for the engines of stone cutting machines is splashing water on them. Water is poured in the cutting area of the stones to prevent the device from overheating. For this reason, you should make sure that as much as possible, water does not fall on the machine's motor.
Staple
Stone cutting machines are mounted on a pole to work. This rod, which plays a pivotal role in the device, is called a linear guide or moving rail. The disk saw blade is mounted on this moving rail by means of equipment and performs the work of cutting the stone. For this reason, the liner guide plays a very important role in the stone cutting machine. Extreme care must be taken in the design of these rails. The smallest weakness in the design of this rod causes the performance of the entire system of stone cutting devices to face serious problems and practically the device will no longer be usable.
Saga
A frame is needed to connect the machine's motor to the hub of the circular saw blade. This frame moves on the linear guide that we mentioned above. There are two ways to connect the motor to the disc saw blade hub; The first way is that the motor is directly connected to the hub by the frame. In the second way, which is used in devices with the ability to adjust the speed, the connection of the motor to the disc saw blade hub is done through a gearbox or gear box. On the frame of the disc saw blade, some necessary equipments are installed. One of these saw blade protectors is a disc that fits completely around the blade and surrounds it all around except for the bottom edge. Another important equipment that is mounted on the disc saw blade frame is the water guide pipe, which is used to sprinkle water on the stone cutting area while the machine is working.
Auxiliary skeleton
For stone cutting machines, a type of frame is used to place all the components of the machine on it. This framework is mainly metal and is produced with the help of good quality steel as well as high thickness. The importance of the framework is not only in maintaining the equipment of the device. Rather, this framework guarantees the correct operation of the device. The frame should be heavy enough to stabilize the equipment and minimize vibrations during operation. If large width stones are to be cut, an auxiliary table must be added to the frame to allow for this. The frame bases of cutting machines are different depending on the type of machine. Devices that are portable should have folding bases so that they can be folded when moving.
Water pump
Another equipment in the stone cutting machine is the water pump. The water pump helps us to have a certain amount of water flow when the machine is active on the stone cutting site. In this way, the lubrication work will always be done while cutting the stone and it will prevent the device from getting hot during work. Because it is mostly possible that the water used has mineral salts and certain hardnesses, it is necessary to perform the pump descaling work every few days and to empty the sediments deposited in the pump.
Saw blade
With the help of stone cutting machines, you can cut all kinds of stones, including granite, gabbro, marble, dekton, marble, quartz, etc. The disc saw blade used in stone cutting machines is selected according to the type of stone to be cut. In fact, the hardness and thickness of the stone determine the type of blade used. Disc saw blade manufacturers produce these blades in different types.
