Strong features of the 3P8 wire saw

•

The 3P8 wire saw can be driven by either one of the powerful 18, 22 or 27 kW HF-

motors.

•

Wire tensioning is fully automatic, with some exceptions. The tensioning of the wire is

governed by software and a microprocessor / digital servo amplifier driven electric feed
motor.

•

The main drive pulley has a diameter of Ø 500 mm. It has a rubber drive ring with a

specially designed type of rubber compund giving very good traction wire to rubber,
even when wet. The wire wraps around the main drive pulley over 270°, which gives
superb traction.
