Selecting the right diamond wire is paramount for efficient production. A stable, reliable wire can prevent frequent wire breakage, significantly improving productivity and reducing production costs in the quarry. With our wealth of experience, we've helped numerous customers overcome challenging issues and cut costs with our diamond wires. Here's a brief story illustrating how we aided one customer in resolving their wire breakage problem.
The Customer's Challenge:
Prior to using our diamond wire, our customer faced frequent wire breakage issues, particularly when the cutting current exceeded 80A on their 55kW machine. The time-consuming process of removing and reinstalling the broken wire took approximately two hours, significantly impacting productivity and increasing production costs over time.
Our Solution:
Upon learning of our customer's challenge, we carefully selected a diamond wire that precisely matched their requirements. This wire was capable of handling cutting currents up to 90A, effectively eliminating the wire breakage problem. However, as the wire diameter decreased to around 9.0mm with use, a new issue emerged – the wire became loose at the connector positions.
Identifying the Cause and Providing Solutions:
We quickly identified that the diameter of the connectors was larger when the wire's diameter decreased to around 9.0mm. This discrepancy led to continuous friction between the connectors and the stone, generating heat and compromising the firmness of the connection.
To address this issue, we offered two solutions:
- Smaller Connectors: We provided smaller connectors specifically designed for wires with around a 9.0mm diameter.
- Monitoring and Replacement: We monitored the diameter of the wires and replaced the connectors with smaller ones as needed when the diameter approached 9.0mm.
The Result:
With the implementation of our solutions, all the wire breakage and connector-related problems were successfully eliminated. Our diamond wires now provide our customer with reliable quality and stable performance, enhancing their productivity and reducing production costs in the quarry.
