An amazing<br />
invention.<br />
<strong>Diamond</strong> coated wires comprise diamond beads<br />
threaded on a high tensile steel supporting cable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diamond beads are made by fixing a diamond<br />
layer around a cylindrical steel support.<br />
Nearly 30 years ago, <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart invented<br />
the first diamond wire for the extraction of marble<br />
in quarries. From the entry into service of the first<br />
wires at Carrara, success was immediate, in a few<br />
months all the quarries abandoned their helical<br />
wire sawing installations to make way for the new<br />
diamond wire cutting equipment.<br />
During the 1980s, <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart were the first<br />
to introduce a diamond wire into granite quarries.<br />
It was an immediate success, to the point that,<br />
today most granite quarries have adopted this<br />
new procedure. Later on <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart began to<br />
develop wires for squaring the blocks and then<br />
cutting them into thick slabs. Marble and granite<br />
producers very quickly discovered the advantages<br />
of these new products.<br />
<strong>The</strong> recent launch of multiwire machines is<br />
the opportunity for <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart to put on the<br />
market a new diamond wire specifically designed<br />
for these machines and which is of the high quality<br />
that is required for this application.<br />
We focus all our energy on improving your work<br />
situation. Consequently our objectives are high<br />
accessibility; prompt service, exact deliveries and<br />
perfect cutting results.<br />

Two types of diamond beads – two<br />
uses suitable for the extraction<br />
of marble.<br />
<strong>The</strong> electrolytic wire was the first cable placed on<br />
the market. Its beads are made from an annular<br />
steel support onto which the diamond grains are<br />
electrolytically deposited; they are remarkably<br />
robust and sharp.<br />
<strong>The</strong> electrolytic wire is perfectly suitable for sawing<br />
marbles; it is especially appreciated for small cuts<br />
and for cutting blocks (small radii of curvature).<br />
Compared to the sintered wire, the electrolytic<br />
wire offers the double advantage of needing<br />
only 25 horsepower and reduced water spraying<br />
(from 10 l/min to 20 l/min). It is also used when<br />
the customer wants a high cutting speed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diamond-sintered wire is designed to cut all<br />
types of rock (including the hardest and the most<br />
abrasive) and to increase the number of m 2 sawn<br />
(some are described as “long life” wires). <strong>The</strong> active<br />
part of the beads is a ring of sintered diamond,<br />
whose composition is like the segments used in<br />
blades and discs.<br />
Two types of wire for marble extraction.<br />
Direction of rotation.<br />
Economic advantage: the life of a sintered wire,<br />
which is often double that of an electrolytic wire<br />
for an only higher price.<br />
Technological advantage: the sawing speed of<br />
a sintered wire is practically constant throughout<br />
its lifetime. <strong>The</strong> sintered wire requires a minimum<br />
power of 40 hp and normal water spraying, between<br />
20 to 50 l/min according to the cut dimensions.<br />

Wires for marble quarries<br />
High speed wire.<br />
Increasing the sawing speed provides the marble<br />
producer with an appreciable benefit resulting<br />
from reductions in energy and water consumption<br />
and operator costs.<br />
As an example the table below shows that an<br />
increase in speed from 11 to 16 m 2 /h can bring a<br />
benefit in the case of extraction of compact marble<br />
(reference: standard sawing cost = 100).<br />
To increase the wire sawing speed, <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart is<br />
working on the optimum combination of the best<br />
performing diamonds and the most suitable metallic<br />
bonds for a material type. This therefore updates<br />
solutions for each use.<br />

Wires for granite quarries<br />
Wires for various stone quarries<br />
Except for small cuts made in marble quarries, all other<br />
applications of diamond wires use beads with diamond<br />
concretions.<br />
<strong>For</strong> granite quarries, the cables are in general fitted by<br />
injection of a vulcanised rubber, whereas cable used<br />
in granite and marble sawing works are more often<br />
injected with plastic. <strong>The</strong> more difficult to implement<br />
and costly rubber injection is preferred for cables<br />
used in granite quarries, for the following reasons :<br />
– the vulcanised rubber adheres better to the<br />
beads and support cable, which protects it better<br />
from the action of abrasive pastes, in particular when<br />
the cable takes up small radii of curvature (beginning<br />
and end of quarry cuts),<br />
– the vulcanised rubber easily withstands increases<br />
in temperature caused by badly controlled water<br />
spraying, which often happens in a quarry, whereas<br />
plastic softens and looses its strength properties,<br />
– the flexibility of a cable fitted with rubber is<br />
greater, which reduces the risk of irregular wearing<br />
of the beads (ovalisation phenomenon).<br />

Wires for stationary machines<br />
Squaring and cutting<br />
of blocks using diamond wire.<br />
<strong>Diamond</strong> wire is now generally used in most<br />
workshops.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many reasons for this:<br />
– the wire allows significantly greater sawing<br />
heights than large discs,<br />
– the wire saw in width is thinner and more precise<br />
than the large disc (deviation < 1 mm),<br />
– the investment in a wire machine is relatively low,<br />
– by virtue of its greater and greater reliability, wire<br />
sawing technology is more and more automated<br />
and thus becomes just as productive as competing<br />
techniques,<br />
– noise nuisance generated by diamond wire<br />
sawing is significantly less than that produced<br />
by other sawing techniques.<br />
Recommendations.<br />
<strong>For</strong> optimum use of diamond wire, <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart<br />
supply detailed operating instructions. <strong>The</strong>se are<br />
the essential elements:<br />
– the rotation of the wire about itself should<br />
be regularly checked (clothes peg or paint line<br />
method),<br />
– the bead wear profile should be regularly<br />
inspected (avoid ovalisation and coning of the<br />
beads),<br />
– the connections should be changed whenever<br />
excessively high wear of the adjacent beads is<br />
noted and whenever it is necessary to apply<br />
pretorsion to the cable,<br />
– the cable tension is set to 250–300 kg for 4 and<br />
5 mm diameter supporting cables<br />
– adjust the linear speed of the wire to the material<br />
being sawn :<br />
– granite class 1 – 2 : 25–30 m/sec<br />
– granite class 3 – 4 : 22–26 m/sec<br />
– granite class 5 : 20–22 m/sec<br />
– marble : 30–35 m/sec<br />
– abrasive rocks : 30–35 m/sec<br />
– water spraying of the diamond wire is an<br />
essential criterion for good sawing : depending<br />
on the blocks the water flow rate to be provided<br />
is between 15 and 25 l/min.<br />
– during the sharpening of a new wire, the linear<br />
speed must be reduced by 2 to 3 m/sec relative to<br />
the speeds given above.<br />
Wire sharpening.<br />
Most of the wires intended for squaring and cutting<br />
of blocks are sharpened in the <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart<br />
factories. <strong>The</strong> user thus has a tool ready for use and<br />
able to cut in the optimum conditions from the<br />
first minutes of operation. On request, <strong>Diamond</strong><br />
Boart can supply a product with sharpening options<br />
different from those offered in the tables.<br />

Wires for profiling machines<br />
Profiling – a complementary<br />
application for stationary machines.<br />
<strong>The</strong> introduction of new numerically controlled<br />
machines allows the shaping of complex forms in<br />
large production runs for gravestones and building.<br />
<strong>The</strong> use of diamond wire for shaping makes possible<br />
the optimum use of excellent quality materials that<br />
are discarded from the production of slabs and<br />
paving stones.<br />
<strong>The</strong> low cost of the cuts, the profiling precision and<br />
the surface quality indisputably make diamond<br />
wire very competitive. <strong>The</strong> diamond wire used<br />
in profiling machines is similar to that found in<br />
stationary machines, but it is generally of a smaller<br />
diameter (8.3 mm). Performance is slightly inferior<br />
to that of cables for stationary machines.<br />
Recommendations.<br />
<strong>For</strong> operating parameters refer to the recommendations<br />
given in the chapter on stationary machines<br />
(page 20). <strong>The</strong> parameters are nevertheless adjusted<br />
to the particular requirements of the (desired) cut.<br />

Wires for multiwire machines<br />
To saw granite into thin slabs, the classical procedure<br />
using a grit-set frame is often chosen for two main<br />
reasons, namely a very competitive cost and a well<br />
understood procedure.<br />
However, the drawbacks remain obvious : limited<br />
productivity (7 cm /hour) and thus poor flexibility,<br />
water recycling, labor costs and increase in the<br />
sawing costs per m 2 for thick slabs and of course<br />
a large installation area.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se disadvantages associated with the gritset<br />
frame have led to many attempts to derive<br />
a diamond based alternative. By far the most<br />
successful is the multiwire sawing machine.<br />
Advantages.<br />
Recommendations.<br />
<strong>For</strong> optimum use the following is necessary.<br />
– the blocks have to be squared at the top and the<br />
bottom before sawing.<br />
– the minimum block length has to be 2.5 m or<br />
more.<br />
– the blocks have to be installed and cemented on<br />
three wooden support.<br />
Characteristics.<br />
<strong>The</strong> standard wires for multiwires machines are<br />
injected with transparent plastic and they contain<br />
36 beads/m. In general, they are not sharpened.<br />
With the new wires customers gain a decrease in<br />
the sawing costs and an improved productivity.<br />
Moreover, to avoid the long and costly remounting<br />
operations the 7.3 mm is “one use”.<br />

<strong>Diamond</strong><br />
blades.<br />
Our fast cutting diamond blades are available in<br />
diameters 115 to 3500 mm.<br />
Different materials represent different challenges<br />
and <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart’s vast range of specified bonds<br />
along with a choice of standard noise reduced steel<br />
centers provide perfect solutions.<br />
We particularly recommend that the blade to be<br />
used should suit the material to be cut. Each material<br />
or group of material has its own particular<br />
hardness and abrasive properties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> type of blade is determined by these two factors.<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore it is easy to foresee that a change<br />
of material can be fatal to the tool life. A blade<br />
intended to cut marble, for example, will be completely<br />
worn after sawing a few square meters of<br />
soft sandstone, which is softer but more abrasive<br />
than marble.<br />
Especially developed to cut all kind of granite, marble<br />
and other stones our blades will respond to all<br />
and even more than you demand. <strong>The</strong> correct identification<br />
of the material to cut is the most important<br />
factors for choosing a tool.<br />

<strong>The</strong> core.<br />
Different kinds of core.<br />
<strong>The</strong> standard core.<br />
<strong>The</strong> steel center is a high-grade heat-treated,<br />
tempered steel disc; to meet highest demands on<br />
stability and wear resistance. <strong>The</strong> steel center width<br />
prevents wobbling of the blades.<br />
<strong>The</strong> silent core.<br />
<strong>The</strong> silent core is constituted from 2 sheets of<br />
steel separated by a sheet of copper to enable an<br />
improvement of 6-9 dBA in noise level.<br />

<strong>The</strong> segments<br />
<strong>Diamond</strong> blades on the job<br />
<strong>The</strong> segments contain a mixture of diamonds and<br />
metal powder. During the manufacturing process,<br />
the metal powder and diamond mixture is compressed<br />
in order to obtain a solid metal alloy which holds the<br />
diamonds. <strong>The</strong> segment is slightly wider than the core,<br />
to allow the attacking edge to penetrate the material<br />
without the steel rubbing against it.<br />
Attaching diamond segments to the<br />
steel core.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diamond segment can be attached to the steel<br />
centre using two basic methods.<br />
Brazing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> segments are attached to the core by brazing<br />
with silver solder.<br />
- Used on standard blades for wet cutting<br />
- Do not use for dry cutting !<br />
Laser-welding.<br />
Segments are welded to the centre using a laser beam.<br />
- Strongest bond possible between steel centre and<br />
segment<br />
- Suitable for wet and dry cutting applications. <strong>The</strong><br />
laser-welding process is the latest state of the art<br />
method to attach diamond segments to the blade<br />
centre. This process assures a maximum degree of<br />
safety.<br />
normal<br />
Finishing operations.<br />
three-layers: the diamond<br />
concentration of the outer layers differs<br />
from the inside layer to guarantee the side<br />
clearance and hollow wear pattern<br />
conical to reduce lateral friction<br />
pagoda to reduce lateral friction<br />
CR 2000 to ensure a more even<br />
repartioned active surface around the<br />
blade<br />
Mammouth CR<br />
After the assembling process, each individual<br />
segment undergoes double-sided cross-bend tests<br />
to ensure that they are solidly fused to the centre.<br />
Tension must be put on each blade to assure that<br />
it runs straight and true even under tough cutting<br />
conditions.<br />
Each blade is tensioned by hand; a process<br />
performed by specialists who are skillfull experts in<br />
their craft.<br />
Each blade is sharpened, at the factory to make<br />
sure that the blade will cut freely, the very first time<br />
your customer will put it to use.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last steps - finishing, painting, printing and<br />
packing - are performed with the same amount of<br />
care and concern for quality as you already have<br />
seen in the manufacturing process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Diamant</strong> Boart’s spirit is not only sell tools but also<br />
service to the customer with competent advice<br />
knowing his people, his job and his equipment.<br />
High skilled technicians are in a position to<br />
recommend the appropriate blades for the<br />
customer’s application, follow through on his job,<br />
answering his questions and solving any problems<br />
that may arise.<br />
Hereafter, some considerations and parameters<br />
influencing the behaviour of the tool (for more<br />
precise application datas and figures, please refer<br />
to our technical booklet or call our technical<br />
department).<br />
Blades variables.<br />
Segment Hardness.<br />
- Softer bonds tend to cut faster but have a shorter<br />
life<br />
- Harder bonds tend to cut slower but have a<br />
longer life.<br />
Segment side clearance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> balanced ratio between widths<br />
of segment and steel centre assures<br />
sufficient discharge of material and<br />
even wear of segments and prevents<br />
jamming of the blade in the material.<br />
Thinner blade segments tend to cut<br />
faster but give shorter life.<br />
Thicker blade segments tend to cut<br />
slower but give longer life.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reason is very simple : thinner<br />
blade segments have less surface area<br />
in contact with the material and offer<br />
less resistance as they grind through<br />
the material.<br />
Cutting variables.<br />
Cutting speed.<br />
It is important to adjust the feed speed so that<br />
it corresponds the recommended cutting speed<br />
expressed in cm 2 /min.<br />
Cutting depth.<br />
Depth of cut and feed speed should be combined so<br />
as to respect the recommended cutting speeds (cm 2 /<br />
min) for the particular type of material. <strong>The</strong> depth of<br />
cut varies according to material hardness and type of<br />
tool used.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>For</strong>ward feed.<br />
This one depends on the already chosen cutting<br />
depth (high speed combined with a shallow cutting<br />
depth sharpen the tool).<br />
Machine variables.<br />
Watering.<br />
<strong>The</strong> water pressure is of little importance compared<br />
to the quantity. <strong>The</strong>refore, abundant watering is<br />
recommended.<br />
Power.<br />
Should be determined by the blade diameter and<br />
type of material cut.<br />
Peripheral speed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> peripheral speed should be selected according to<br />
hardness and abrasiveness of the material to be cut;<br />
together with the feed speed it affects the cutting<br />
speed and the tool life. It is therefore important to<br />
suit the peripheral speed to the material to be sawn.<br />

How to choose a diamond blade ?<br />
Application chart<br />
<strong>The</strong> price.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most important is to determine your priorities<br />
between, the buying price, the cutting cost, and the<br />
cutting quality. <strong>For</strong> important jobs or regular use, a<br />
more expensive tool proves to be more beneficial in<br />
use, as its output is better. <strong>For</strong> very large-scale work,<br />
the lowest cutting cost possible (cost per metre) is the<br />
most important decision criterion, much more so than<br />
the purchase cost of the tool.<br />

<strong>The</strong> material to be cut.<br />
<strong>The</strong> correct identification of the material you are<br />
going to cut is the most important factor for choosing<br />
a tool. <strong>The</strong> material does in fact have a direct<br />
influence on the cutting speed and the practical life of<br />
the tool.<br />

This choice may depend on the user’s preference or<br />
on some particular constraint associated with the<br />
work to be done. <strong>The</strong> use of water requires certain<br />
precautions if equipment with an electric motor is<br />
used. <strong>For</strong> general purpose site saws, dry-cutting tools<br />
are most frequently used; however, they can be used<br />
with irrigation to limit the amount of dust produced.<br />
Some irrigated tools and drill bits, must be used with<br />
water irrigation. Dry cutting tools may be used with<br />
or without irrigation, depending on the conditions<br />
encountered.<br />

Storing of circular blades.<br />
On receipt of a circular blade, if it is not to be put<br />
into immediate service, it should be stored on a flat<br />
surface or preferably hung by its bore. Never put it<br />
against a wall.<br />
Choice of blade.<br />
We particularly recommend that the blade used<br />
should be suited to the material to be cut.<br />
Each material or group of material has its own<br />
particular hardness and abrasive properties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> type of blade is determined by these two factors.<br />
It is easy to foresee therefore that a change of<br />
material can be fatal to the tool life.<br />
A blade intended for sawing marble, for example,<br />
will be completely worn after sawing a few square<br />
meters of soft sandstone, which is softer but more<br />
abrasive than marble.<br />
Mounting of circular blades.<br />
Before mounting the circular blade.<br />
Special attention should be paid<br />
- to the cleanliness of the spindle block and the<br />
flanges (rust, grease...). All surfaces should be<br />
cleaned with a fine emery cloth.<br />
- to any deformation of the flange rims; these should<br />
be rectified with a smooth file;<br />
- that the blade never rests on the spindle thread.<br />
Direction of rotation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> blade should always be mounted following the<br />
direction of rotation showed by the arrow engraved<br />
on the steel centre.<br />
Checking the position of the blade.<br />
It is important to reset the position of the blade<br />
and flanges in relation to spindle when frequent<br />
dismounting is necessary.<br />
<strong>The</strong> flanges.<br />
- should be milled at the center<br />
- should have minimum dimensions according to the<br />
blade diameter<br />
Mounting checks.<br />
Shaft radial run-out.<br />
Check with dial indicator if the arbor radial run-out<br />
does not exceed the tolerance limits.<br />
Flange and flange block side run-out.<br />
Check with the comparator if the lateral wobble does<br />
not exceed the tolerance limits.<br />
Perpendicularity of the shaft.<br />
Check precision air level if the arbor is perpendicular<br />
to the table.<br />
Blade radial run-out.<br />
Check dial indicator if the radial run-out does not<br />
exceed the tolerance limits.<br />
Blade side run-out.<br />
Check with dial indicator if the blade lateral wobble<br />
does not exceed the tolerance limits.<br />
Any out-of-truth which exceeds double the values<br />
indicated should be considered as dangerous.<br />
Out-of-parallelism.<br />
<strong>For</strong> the sawing advance, the movement of the table<br />
(of the blade) should be done strictly in the plane of<br />
the blade (of the table). <strong>For</strong> checking the parallelism,<br />
use the dial indicator.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bore diameter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bore diameter should be equal to the diameter<br />
of the spindle (to within 0.01 mm) in order to avoid<br />
any radial movement. If the bore of the blade is<br />
too large a carefully turned steel ring, of the same<br />
thickness as the steel blade, should be inserted. If<br />
the bore is too small, the tool should be sent back to<br />
<strong>Diamant</strong> Boart. <strong>The</strong> bore of the blade should never<br />
be enlarged.<br />

Gang saw<br />
blades.<br />
<strong>For</strong> the precision cutting of natural stone, the gang<br />
saw blades of variable dimensions and characteristics<br />
are cater for all types of marbles and other<br />
material plants (except granite)for exactly-dimensioned<br />
blocks and slabs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> blade life and quality of the cut largely depend<br />
on the care and precision with which the set of<br />
blades has been fitted to the frame.<br />
Time devoted to correct mounting of the blades<br />
will pay later when the sawing takes place.<br />
<strong>Diamant</strong> Boart introduced the first diamond gang<br />
saw blade in 1955 and the thin gang saw blades in<br />
2002. <strong>The</strong> great advantage of those thin gang saw<br />
blades is the real saving achieved on the total sawing<br />
cost by obtaining additional m 2 per block.<br />
Further development will be introduced on the<br />
market.<br />

<strong>Diamond</strong> gang saw blades<br />
<strong>Diamond</strong> gang saw blades<br />
Description.<br />
A gang saw blade consists of two parts :<br />
the diamond segment and the steel strip.<br />
Choice of tool.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diamond tool has been designed for the<br />
hardness and abrasiveness of specific stone.<br />
It is therefore very important to use it on materials<br />
or groups of materials for which it has been<br />
designed. Failure to observe this can have a fatal<br />
effect on the diamond tool.<br />

Thin gang saw blades<br />
Down-feed speed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> down-feed speed is an essential parameter in<br />
frame-sawing. It affects not only the production<br />
per hour but also the quality of the cut and the<br />
pressure exerted on the segments to avoid glazing<br />
of the diamond impregnation. In any case the downfeed<br />
speed should be sufficient to ensure the selfsharpening<br />
process of the diamond segments.<br />

<strong>The</strong> great advantage of this new blade is the<br />
real saving achieved on the total sawing cost by<br />
obtaining additional m2 per block.<br />
Properties of the thin gang saw blade :<br />
- Height : 180 mm<br />
- Segment thickness : between 3.6 and 4.2 m<br />
- Steel thickness : between 2 and 2.5 mm<br />
Comparison between thin gang saw blade and a<br />
traditional blade :<br />
- Traditional blade 4100 x 180 x 3.5 mm with a<br />
segment thickness of 5 to 5.3 mm<br />
- Thin gang saw blade 4100 x 180 x 2.5 mm with a<br />
segment thickness of 3.6 to 4.2 mm<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference in thickness is therefore + / - 1 mm<br />
per blade.<br />
Financial calculation:<br />
Taking into account the fact that the service life of a<br />
blade is + / - 250 linear metres of cutting depth, up to 5<br />
blocks will be gained, or :<br />
250 l m / 1.6 m (block height)= 156.25 slabs x 2* = 312 slabs<br />
gained represent 5 blocks<br />
(2* represents the number of slabs gained per block)<br />
<strong>For</strong> an approximate value of 31 € / m 2 of marble<br />
312 slabs x (2.5 m long x 1.6 m wide)= 1248 m 2<br />
1248 m2 x 31 € = 38,688 €<br />
<strong>For</strong> an approximate value of 74.37 € / m 2 of marble<br />
312 slabs x (2.5 m long x 1.6 m wide) = 1248 m 2<br />
1248 m 2 x 74.37 € = 92,813.76 €<br />
Other advantages are linked to the use of thin gang<br />
saw blades :<br />
- <strong>The</strong> saving in electric power.<br />
- Lower mechanical stresses on the machine.<br />
- A real reduction in sawing residue.<br />

<strong>Diamant</strong> Boart is able to offer the thin gang saw blade<br />
from today due to the constant developments it has<br />
made to its manufacturing processes and its ever<br />
<br />
stricter quality standards.<br />
<br />
<strong>For</strong> a machine set for a slab cut 20 mm thick, and<br />
comprising + / - 70 blades in the frame, the saving<br />
obtained is 70 mm, i.e. + / - 3 slabs. Assuming that<br />
the gang saw machine is, on average, filled up<br />
to only 80 % of its capacity, + / - 58 thin gang saw<br />
blades will be used instead of 56 traditional blades<br />
and thus the savings will be translated into<br />
2 additional slabs on each cut.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thin gang saw blade can be fitted in a standard<br />
hanger and therefore does not result in additional<br />
costs.<br />

Slab polishing.<br />
Polishing is a critical step in stone processing as it<br />
represents the last operation realized on stone and<br />
must therefore be realized with exceptional care.<br />
Polishing machines on their part have experienced<br />
an amazing progress in the last decades. After having<br />
first developed single head machines, manufacturers<br />
now propose huge polishing benches,<br />
with usually more than 20 heads able to polish at a<br />
1.5 m/mn rate, with a 60 m/mn bridge translation<br />
speed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> polishing sequence is always the same. <strong>The</strong> first<br />
step consists in calibrating the slab and is generally<br />
performed with rollers or satellites, but may be left<br />
out as well. Afterwards, metallic shoes grind the<br />
stone to get a smoother surface. Finally, the polishing<br />
operation gives the final gloss to the stone. It<br />
can be performed either with conventional abrasives<br />
or since recently with diamond tools based on<br />
resin technology which give higher performances in<br />
terms of productivity and protection of the environment<br />
Polishing must therefore be performed with high<br />
quality equipments to avoid unsatisfactory final<br />
results, such as scratches or poor brightness. Using<br />
<strong>Diamant</strong> Boart tools is a guarantee for the stone<br />
manufacturer to get the maximal benefit out of its<br />
products as a high quality polish always implicates<br />
a better sales price as well as a good reputation in a<br />
long term.<br />

Polishing is a critical step in stone processing as it<br />
represents the last operation realised on stone. It<br />
must therefore be performed with high quality<br />
equipment to avoid unsatisfactory final results, such as<br />
scratches or poor brightness. Using these tools is also a<br />
guarantee for the manufacturer to get the maximum<br />
benefit out of its products as a high quality polish<br />
always implicates a better sales price as well as a good<br />
reputation in the long term.<br />
How does it work ?<br />
<strong>The</strong> polishing sequence is always the same. <strong>The</strong><br />
first step consists in calibrating the slab, previously<br />
cut with gang saw, wire or disc. This operation is<br />
generally performed with rollers or satellites, but<br />
may be left out as well. Afterwards, metallic shoes<br />
grind the stone to get a smoother surface. Finally, the<br />
polishing operation gives the gloss to the stone. It<br />
can be performed either with conventional abrasives<br />
or more recently with diamond tools based on resin<br />
technology.<br />
Different kind of machines.<br />
Even though the polishing process always follows<br />
the same scheme, the machines used to perform it<br />
can be different. Most of them are multi-head lines,<br />
varying from 12 head to state-of-the-art 22 head<br />
machines. Nevertheless, many mono-head or 5 head<br />
machines are still in use, mainly in isolated areas or<br />
annex markets. Obviously, their performance is far<br />
beyond the performance of bigger lines.<br />
Main manufacturers.<br />
All around the world, a lot of manufacturers have<br />
developed machinery to polish granite.<br />
Hereafter the main companies representing<br />
the market trend :<br />

Several technologies.<br />
Every manufacturer developed his own technology<br />
in order to build specific machines. However, heads<br />
with 6 oscillating shoes (used with metallic, resin &<br />
conventional abrasives) are standard today.<br />
Regarding the calibrating step, 2 main possibilities<br />
exist :<br />
- satellites (generally 5 per head)<br />
- rollers (6 per head).<br />
Furthermore, 2 kind of bridges are available : single<br />
bridge or double bridge with separated regulation.<br />
Rollers, satellites & metallic shoes.<br />
Manufacturers like Breton prefer to use rollers<br />
instead of satellites for the first calibrating step.<br />
<strong>The</strong> announced advantage is that rollers are<br />
somewhat less aggressive than satellites and thus<br />
tend to reduce eventual quality defects such as<br />
scratches. Anyway, when slabs are not cut perfectly,<br />
the high agressivity of satellites is preferable.<br />
On the other hand, some older machines work<br />
exclusively with metallic shoes. In this case, the<br />
calibrating effect is obtained thanks to the number<br />
of shoes placed on the machine and their individual<br />
grinding capacity.<br />
Resin shoes & Conventional abrasives.<br />
Conventional abrasives were the first tools<br />
installed on polishing machines. One of their main<br />
advantages is that they are very well-known by the<br />
customers. However, these abrasives are subject to<br />
critical defects in comparison to new diamond resin<br />
tools :<br />
- Lower performance (10x to 50x less)<br />
- Reduced productivity for the customer<br />
- Higher energy consumption (more pressure on<br />
head)<br />
- Higher frequency of machine maintenance<br />
- Higher cooling water pollution (more waste)<br />
- Limited shelf life (generally less than one year)<br />
- More working noise.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diversity of polishing machines such as their origin<br />
or their technology make an accurate previous checkup<br />
necessary in order to limit quality defects.<br />
Hereafter is a non-exhaustive list of the main points to<br />
check before starting to work :<br />
- <strong>The</strong> global impression must be positive. An old<br />
machine badly maintained (noisy satellite heads,<br />
non-oscillating heads, heads deformed, …) may be a<br />
source of many defects.<br />
- <strong>The</strong> dovetail must be clean, without used parts or<br />
hits. If it appears to be really damaged, it would be<br />
better to change it.<br />
- <strong>The</strong> moving up and down of the heads must be<br />
controlled (moving down anticipation and lifting up<br />
delay).<br />
- <strong>The</strong> real force given by the head must be the same as<br />
the one displayed by the corresponding manometer.<br />
- <strong>The</strong> head feet must have no play. If that is not the<br />
case, ask the operator to screw them up.<br />
- All the pneumatic and hydraulic head commands<br />
must be safe and in order. If not, the head could<br />
damage the tools.<br />
- <strong>The</strong> cooling water must slow freely in the hoses and a<br />
sufficient quantity of water must reach the shoes and<br />
this one must be of a good quality. If not, we may<br />
face the risk of destroying the shoes and/or creating<br />
defects.<br />
All these points have to be strictly respected. <strong>The</strong> resin<br />
polishing shoes are very accurate tools and by the<br />
way really sensitive to any inadequate adjustment<br />
of the machine, so that the presence of any of the<br />
above mentioned defects could be prejudicial for their<br />
efficiency.<br />
Two main areas of activity.<br />
Depending on what kind of market the manufacturer<br />
is dealing with, two main sectors of activity are likely<br />
to be found :<br />
- slab polishing<br />
- tile polishing<br />
<strong>The</strong> first one represents the main market and involves<br />
the polishing large slabs of granite (approximately<br />
1.5 m x 2.5 m). <strong>The</strong> aim of the second one is to process<br />
tiles formerly cut at fixed dimensions. Regarding<br />
our range of products, slab polishing is the major<br />
application.<br />
Tiles may as well be processed up to a certain degree.<br />

Slab polishing - rollers and satellite<br />
Shoes installation.<br />
Special attention should be paid when installing resin<br />
polishing shoes. Small variations can lead to important<br />
quality defects, which can be avoided by the few<br />
checks explained below :<br />
<strong>The</strong> dovetail of the shoe must perfectly slide and fit<br />
into its corresponding foot. Sometimes, depending on<br />
the machine, some feet are slightly different from the<br />
shoe support. In this case, it is important to check the<br />
compatibility and adapt the shoe support with some<br />
sheet of plastic or metal material; otherwise the shoe<br />
could move constantly and defects may arise.<br />
<strong>The</strong> head pressure must also be checked. We usually<br />
use pressures of 0.5 bar for the heads from 120 to<br />
400, and 1 to 1.5 bar from 600 to 1200, depending<br />
on the machine. If the pressure indicated by the<br />
manometer seems erroneous, check the real head<br />
pressure with a gauge and adjust it if necessary.<br />
Finally, much information can be obtained by<br />
listening and watching the machine while working.<br />
Shrill, low or discontinuous noises can be a sign<br />
for a malfunctioning of the machine. If this is the<br />
case and the above mentioned checkups have been<br />
done, then it might be necessary to modify the<br />
working parameters of the machine.<br />

Quality defects.<br />
Scratches & shadows.<br />
If scratches appear, check all the following points :<br />
- <strong>The</strong> metallic shoes may vibrate. Check up all the feet<br />
and screw them up or replace them if necessary.<br />
- If you detect stone particles on the slab, adjust the<br />
machine parameters (cross feed + inversion time)<br />
- Check all the metallic shoes in order to find an<br />
eventual diamond contamination.<br />
- Some sawing steel grit or stone particles incrusted<br />
in the resin can cause scratches. Check that the resin<br />
polishing shoes do not have these residues incrusted.<br />
- If you hear short loud noises during the polishing,<br />
the heads may lift up and down in an inappropriate<br />
way and break the stone. Modify the corresponding<br />
parameters on the machine.<br />
If shadows appear, check all the following points :<br />
- Belt speed may be too high for the tools cutting and<br />
polishing capacity. Slightly reduce the speed often<br />
give good results.<br />
- <strong>The</strong> sawing may have been done incorrectly. In this<br />
case, the only way to obtain a better result would be<br />
by passing the slab again through the machine.<br />
- Check up and down movement of the heads (control<br />
of the anticipation and delay of their vertical<br />
movement).<br />
- Cross feed of the heads (the shoes must overlap<br />
between 30 to 50 mm).<br />
- Travelling feed of the heads (the shoes must overlap<br />
approximately 20 mm).<br />
- Inversion time of the bridge.<br />
Brightness.<br />
If the brightness seems too low, check all the<br />
following points :<br />
- Check the metallic shoes to detect eventual<br />
inadequate specifications (poor sharpening and/or<br />
glazed diamond)<br />
- Too high pressure applied on the resin heads.<br />
<strong>The</strong> individual pressure must not exceed 1.5 bar<br />
(depending on the machine).<br />
- Polygonal profile (instead of curved) of the<br />
working face of the resin shoes or bright aspect.<br />
- In case of glazed diamonds in 120 resin shoes,<br />
exchange them on the head and/or reduce<br />
pressure.<br />
- Poor watering (< 30l/mn/head) and/or bad water<br />
quality.<br />
- <strong>The</strong> three final LUX may provide a poor final<br />
brightness. Try another provider if none of the<br />
above mentioned points gave a higher final<br />
quality.<br />
In some cases, other isolated defects may also<br />
appear. Hereafter their description and eventual<br />
origin :<br />
- Split crystal. <strong>The</strong> satellite wheels or rollers may<br />
be too hard and break the crystal. Review the<br />
specifications of these tools.<br />
- Open porosity. <strong>The</strong> metallic and/or the resin<br />
sequence (until the position 320) may be<br />
inadequate.<br />

Fabrication and<br />
finishing tools.<br />
Fabrication and finishing tools are numerous and<br />
show a great variety. This reflects the diversity<br />
found in the application itself. Although very different<br />
in their finality, the fabrication of a kitchen<br />
top and the sculpting of a 3 meter-tall statue share<br />
the fact that they are the last step in processing of<br />
the stone.<br />
But needs can differ greatly whether you shape<br />
your block of stone with a hand-held grinder, when<br />
you cut a bowl opening with a semi-automatic radial<br />
arm machine or you shape and polish the edge of<br />
a vanity top on an automatic line.<br />
To respond to this great variety and to adapt to the<br />
growth of this market, <strong>Diamant</strong> Boart has widened<br />
its corresponding range and has given a greater visibility<br />
to it, as you will be able to tell in the following<br />
pages.<br />
