PROBLEM
|
CAUSE
|
RECOMMENDATION
|
| BLADE DOES NOT CUT
|
Insufficient power chosen to permit diamond saw blade to cut properly (very low).
|
Check power, voltage and V-belts.
|
| Diamond Saw Blade used is too hard for the material being cut.
|
Consult the dealer or manufacturer for proper diamond saw blade.
|
| Diamond Saw Blade has become dull due to continuous use on fairly hard material or diamond saw blade has become glazed due to excessive RPM.
|
Dress with abrasive material until diamonds become exposed again and adjust RPM as recommended.
|
| UNEVEN SEGMENT WEAR
|
Inadequate cooling water to both sides of diamond saw blades.
|
Clean cooling water system, ensure sufficient and clean water is properly and equally applying to both sides of the blade.
|
| Misalignment of diamond blade. Blade is worn-out-of-round.
|
Check the machine and replace worn equipment. Ensure Proper alignment of diamond saw blade and main shaft.
|
| Flanges are not the same in diameter.
|
Ensure proper saw and flanges alignment and flanges are the same in diameter.
|
| Loss of tension or excessive tension on diamond saw blade.
|
Consult the dealer or manufactuer.
|
| EXCESSIVE WEAR
|
The material being cut is too hard for the diamond blades. Wrong diamond blade cutting on highly abrasive material.
|
Consult the dealer or manufacturer fpr proper diamond saw blade specification.
|
| Horsepower and RPM are too high.
|
Ensure proper HP and RPM.
|
| Machine breakdown or diamond saw blade error
|
Check all parts and replace worn equipment, check the blade's tension and balance, and consult the dealer or manufacturer.
|
| Inadequate cooling water to diamond saw blade so worn material particles cause excessive wears on segments.
|
Check and clean up cooling water system. Ensure clean and sufficient water.
|
| CRACKED CORE
|
Diamond blade is too hard for the material being cut, excessive cutting pressure and overheating causes loss of tension so unbalanced steel core cracks.
|
Consult the dealer or manufacturer and use diamond blade with a softer bonding.
|
| CRACKED SEGMENTS
|
Diamond blade is too hard for the material being cut.
|
Consult the dealer or manufacturer.
|
| LOSS OF TENSION
|
Diamond saw blade's steel core is overheating.
|
Check cooling water system.
|
| Flanges are not tightened properly.
|
Use flanges as recommended.
|
| Diamond blade's steel core is overheating from lack of side clearance due to uneven or too rapid segment wear.
|
Specify diamond blade with greater side clearance. Anchor the material to be cut tightly.
|
| Diamond saw blade is excessively hard for the material.
|
Make sure diamond blade is correct type, consult the manufacturer.
|
| ECCENTRICITY
|
Eccentricity with diamond saw blade or main shaft.
|
Check diamond blade and main shaft, replace worn shaft, consult the dealer or manufacturer.
|
| Main shaft has a groove scored in it caused by a diamond blade spinning between flanges.
|
Ensure suitability of main shaft and blade's arbor hole. Check and tighten flanges, arbor nut.
|
| ARBOR HOLE OUT-OF-ROUND
|
Flanges are not tightened properly.
|
Check flanges, ensure the both are the same and are no less than that recommended by the manufacturer.
|
| Diamond saw blade is seated improperly.
|
Make sure diamond saw blade is properly seated on main shaft, tighten flanges properly.
|
| VIBRATION
|
Flanges are used improperly.
|
Use flanges as recommended.
|
| Machine breakdown.
|
Check main shaft and equipment.
|
| Improper power and RPM chosen.
|
Ensure proper RPM and power.
