A diamond wire saw, also known as a diamond rope saw, consists of beads, steel wire, and other components. It comes in various types, such as rubber, plastic, and spring variations. Increasingly popular for cutting stone and concrete, it offers more flexibility compared to traditional diamond saw blades.

Greater cutting versatility

Diamond wires can cut through a wide range of materials, including concrete, stone, and metal, with greater flexibility than diamond saw blades. They are particularly effective for cutting irregular shapes, large blocks, or when access is limited.

Lower cutting force

Diamond wire saws apply less force to the material being cut, which reduces the load on the machinery. This not only decreases wear and tear on the equipment and maintenance needs but also better protects the material being cut, minimizing the risk of damage due to excessive cutting force.

Less Vibration and Noise

Diamond wire saws produce less vibration and noise during operation, making the cutting process smoother and more suitable for environments where quiet operation is required. Additionally, lower vibration reduces the impact on the material being cut, ensuring a smoother and more precise cut.

Better for Large-Scale Cutting

Diamond wire saws handle larger, thicker materials, making them ideal for heavy industrial applications where traditional blades struggle. They efficiently and precisely cut marble blocks in quarries and reinforced concrete on construction sites.

Concrete wire saw ropes are ideal for clearance and demolition work, such as dismantling bridges, buildings, and other large-scale reinforced concrete structures. They operate efficiently regardless of wall thickness or the amount of reinforcement present.

Our concrete wire saw rope uses high-quality steel wires from the famous brand of Bekaert from Belgium.

4 things you may need to know

To make the right choice when buying a concrete wire saw rope, there are mainly four things you may need to know.

1. Fixed type of diamond beads

There are three types of concrete wire saw ropes: plastic, rubber, and rubber with spring. For cutting concrete and reinforced concrete, the rubber + spring type is most commonly used. The rubber helps reduce wear on the rope, while the springs provide a buffer between beads, which is essential for preventing bead movement caused by excessive resistance when cutting through steel bars.

2. Beads type

We offer two different types of beads for concrete cutting: sintered and vacuum brazed. Each type of bead is designed to different cutting needs, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your specific requirements.

Sintered beads are engineered to offer a balanced performance, providing an optimal combination of cutting speed and lifespan. They are designed to deliver reliable results over a longer period, making them suitable for various cutting tasks where both efficiency and durability are important.

Vacuum brazed beads, on the other hand, are specifically designed for faster cutting. The vacuum brazing process creates a robust bond between the diamond and the bead, which enhances cutting speed and efficiency. These beads are ideal for applications requiring quick and precise cuts, although they may have a shorter lifespan compared to sintered beads.

3. Beads size

For concrete cutting diamond wires, we offer three sizes of sintered beads: 10.5mm, 11.0mm, and 11.5mm. Each size can be used for different applications, providing varying cutting performance for heavily reinforced concrete, standard reinforced concrete, and steel or metal structures.

4. Pricing method

Unlike other diamond tools that are typically sold by quantity, the diamond wire saw is sold by the meter. This approach allows for customization based on the specific length required for each job. Additionally, an essential specification for the diamond wire saw rope is the number of diamond beads per meter.

The bead density directly influences the cutting efficiency, speed, and overall performance of the wire. A higher bead count per meter generally provides more cutting points, leading to faster and smoother cuts, while a lower bead count might be used for less demanding applications. This flexibility in bead quantity per meter allows for the diamond wire saw to be tailored to different cutting tasks and material types. Our standard quantity of sintered beads per meter of concrete wire saw rope is 40 pieces

Cautions

Before using the concrete wire saw rope, there are some points that you need to consider.

  • The concrete wire saw rope needs to be pre-twisted before the cut process, about two and a half turns per meter, in order to obtain its axial rotation during the process.
  • Before use, the concrete wire saw rope should be idling for 10-20 minutes, and the idling speed should be 15-20 m/s.
  • Make sure the cutting direction is consistent with the beads&#; sharpening direction.

Ideal to use sintered diamond wire saw rope;

ChinShine premium sintered diamond wire saw rope is designed to provide a good balance of lifetime and cutting speed. General purpose sintered diamond wire is made for handling all types of concrete/reinforced concrete cutting applications such as demanding demolition, building, and renovation work, among others. It performs best with medium- to high-powered wire saws.



ChinShine  sintered wires feature at least 40 beads per meter for the longest wire lifespan possible. It is ideal diamond wire for cutting concrete and stone.


Diamond wire saw rope is available in a variety of types, each with specific advantages and ideal usage scenarios depending on the nature of the project, the variables affecting the formation of diamond wire segment, and its individual features. Diamond wire saw cutters differ from others, such as the bandsaw, by using abrasion instead of saw diamond teeth. Thanks to the hardness of diamonds, the abrasion technique can be used to cut through almost any material that is softer than the diamond abrasive. The process also produces less kerf and wasted materials when compared with conventional solid blades. The wire cutter also allows circular cutting on all sides, preventing the wire from getting pinched and is therefore an effective method of resisting compressive forces while cutting a wide range of materials.



Vacuum Brazed Beads

To improve the quality of the braze bond, vacuum brazed beads are produced in a brazing oven. The braze, often known as "paste" is a combination of various metal alloys. Some titanium alloys are used in active brazing, that when cured produces carbides.


Vacuum brazed diamond beads is a brazing method that fixes the diamond powder on the bead matrix. This method is more environment friendly compared to electroplated wires which causes pollution.


Vacuum brazed wires are specially designed to provide faster cutting of concrete, reinforced concrete due to its extra sharpness of beads. In order to improve the lifespan of the wire, vacuum brazed beads are of double layer structure which greatly improve its sharpness. It requires the operators to cut only in one direction. If your project needs faster cutting much more than longer cutting life, vacuum brazed wires are the ideal option. In the right conditions, it is the best combination of speed and life.


Sintered Diamond Beads

Sintered beads are made by mixing diamond powder and metal powder and sintering them on a bead base. Beads are put in special tunnel ovens at around °F during the sintering process. The sintered bead structure provides a somewhat consistent diamond dispersion in order to cut both upper and bottom layers uniformly. As a result, sintered beads have a longer life and a greater cutting volume than vacuum brazed beads.


Sintered diamond wires are widely utilized in the cutting of various stones such as marble, granite, concrete, reinforced concrete, and others. Sintered wires are the best choice if your project requires more cutting volume than faster speed. Sintered diamond wires typically provides slower cutting speed than electroplated or vacuum brazed beads.


DIAMOND WIRE APPLICATIONS
