Wire Breakage Analysis and Solutions of Thin Multi-Wire Saw

Wire breakage in Multi-Wire Saw Machines significantly affects production efficiency, quality, and profitability when processing high-value stone. During marble and luxury stone cutting, breakage interrupts production and risks damaging valuable materials.

This article examines the main causes of wire breakage in Diamond Wire Saw Machines and offers solutions to reduce breakage rates, improve efficiency, and optimize material utilization.

Equipment and Wire Quality Issues

Diamond Wire Saw Quality Issues

Diamond wire quality problems such as coiling or excessive beading can reduce wire strength and increase breakage risk. In high-value stone processing, wire failures can damage entire premium stone blocks, resulting in significant financial losses. Quality issues in Diamond Wire Saws often manifest during operation with little warning, making preventive measures essential.

Solution:

• Select premium-quality wires that match your equipment specifications

• Store wires properly to prevent bending or compression damage

• Inspect wire condition before use and discard any with visible defects

• Replace wires that have exceeded their service life to prevent age-related failures

Equipment and Process Mismatches in Multi-Wire Saw Machines

Excessive vibration in Multi-Wire Saw Machines or cutting parameters that don't match stone hardness can cause wires to break under tension. For luxury and premium stones, mismatched processing parameters not only increase breakage risk but may also damage the stone surface, reducing the final product value. Modern CNC Wire Saw systems can help mitigate these issues through precise parameter control.

Solution:

• Adjust CNC Wire Saw cutting speed and tension based on stone type

• Regularly check equipment operating conditions to minimize abnormal vibration

• Maintain the guide wheel system to ensure smooth operation

Stone Characteristics and Breakage Risks

Stone Slab Pinching Issues

When stone slabs pinch the cutting wire, it creates uneven force distribution that can lead to breakage. This problem commonly occurs when cutting irregular high-value materials and may cause premium stone blocks to be scrapped or downgraded, directly affecting business profitability. The financial impact becomes particularly significant when processing rare or exotic stone varieties.

Solution:

• Use a Squaring Wire Saw Machine for irregular slabs before processing to ensure edge regularity

• Regularly monitor slab condition during cutting and adjust when pinching issues are detected

• Implement appropriate auxiliary fixation devices to reduce slab movement

Stone Slab Instability

Improperly secured stone slabs can slip and create sudden impact forces that break cutting wires. This typically results from fixation device failures or improper operation. For high-value marble and luxury stone, instability can lead to complete material loss, causing major financial setbacks. The risk increases with larger and heavier stone blocks that have greater momentum when they shift position.

Solution:

• Apply coating treatments before cutting to enhance overall stone stability

• Implement spacer insertion at approximately 40cm cutting depth to separate the slab and ensure cooling water contacts the cutting wire while stabilizing the stone

Human Operation and Work Environment

Operational Errors

Leading to Wire BreakageImproper operation, such as uneven wire groove spacing, can create unbalanced tension that causes some wires to bear excessive force and break. When processing high-value materials, operational errors not only affect production efficiency but can also increase material waste and reduce yield rates for premium stones. The financial impact is amplified when working with luxury stone varieties with high per-unit costs.

Solution:

Train operators to improve technical skills and understanding of equipment

Establish standard operating procedures, especially for wire installation and tension adjustment

Utilize CNC Wire Saw operating systems that minimize operational complexity

Efficient Wire Breakage

Response in Diamond Wire Saw MachinesWire breakage cannot be completely eliminated, making efficient response protocols essential for minimizing downtime. In high-value stone processing, quickly restoring production not only reduces time costs but also lowers quality risks associated with production interruptions. A systematic approach to wire breakage can transform a potential crisis into a manageable maintenance event.

Response Procedures:

• Guide wheel end breakage: Prioritize Diamond Wire welding repair for simple, quick production restoration

• Mid-network wire breakage: Requires complete rewiring of the affected section

• Utilize DINOSAW wire breakage alarm systems for prompt detection and resolution

• Leverage DINOSAW's global 24-hour technical support for professional guidance
