TOOLS Tools -> Block cutter - records: 20 There are now three types of machines used for the roughing or square blocks. The most in use in the area of Rapolano is the cutters diamond discs, but can also be used monolama the plant and the plant stationary diamond wire. The disc saw giant consists of a sturdy frame on which is fixed a longitudinal beam supporting a diamond disc of very large diameter (up to 4,000 mm). The disc saw giant, contrary to the frame, which is a machine for multiple simultaneous cuts, is a machine for cutting individual sheets of height equal to that of the block itself. The plant stationary diamond wire performs the same functions of the single blade, has an open structure under which the block can be positioned in the manner more appropriate while the diamond wire which operates on a closed circuit, is made to slide and penetrate into the block. Even in this case the operation is conducted in the presence of water. Then there is the block cutters for marble tiles. With the size of blocks, if the materials permit, are easily executable cuts thickness equal to or less than a centimeter. The cutting of the blocks is obtained thanks to the action of vertical diamond disks (sometimes only one disk) in conjunction with a horizontal disc of smaller diameter. The vertical discs lie in the block for a certain depth and, tracing the entire length, divide it into many strips which is given the name of strips. Then provides a horizontal cut at the base of the series of strips created by vertical disks. |
