CAHARD offers this stone-processing diamond wire range in two application-specific series: a Profiling Series for granite curve and irregular slab cutting, and a Multi-Wire Series for granite and marble slab processing.
The available bead diameters are not intended for one identical cutting application. Φ9.0 mm and Φ7.3 mm are used in the Profiling Series, while Φ5.3 mm, Φ6.3 mm and Φ7.3 mm are used in the Multi-Wire Series. The shared Φ7.3 mm diameter should therefore be selected according to the machine type and processing application.
Φ9.0 mm / Φ7.3 mm
Developed for granite curve cutting and irregular cutting on stone slabs.
Confirm Φ9.0 mm or Φ7.3 mm according to the profiling machine setup, workpiece geometry and required profile.
Φ5.3 mm / Φ6.3 mm / Φ7.3 mm
Developed for multi-wire processing of granite and marble slabs.
Diameter selection should be matched to the multi-wire saw configuration, number of wires and stone-processing requirements.
| Bead Diameter | Φ9.0 / Φ7.3 mm |
|---|---|
| Beads / Meter | 37 beads/m |
| Bead Type | Sintered |
| Stone Condition | Linear Velocity (m/s) | Cutting Rate (m/h) | Cutting Life (m²/m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard Granite | 26–35 | 5–8 | 6–15 |
| Medium-hard Granite | 30–40 | 8–18 | 15–22 |
| Soft Granite | 35–45 | 18–25 | 25–40 |
The performance values above are reference ranges for granite profiling conditions. Actual cutting performance can vary with stone characteristics, workpiece geometry, machine setup, cooling and operating parameters.
| Bead Diameter | Φ5.3 / Φ6.3 / Φ7.3 mm |
|---|---|
| Beads / Meter | 37 beads/m |
| Bead Type | Sintered |
| Stone Condition | Linear Velocity (m/s) | Cutting Rate (m/h) | Cutting Life (m²/m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard Granite | 26–35 | 1–3 | 2–4 |
| Medium-hard Granite | 30–40 | 1–2 | 2–3 |
| Soft Granite | 35–45 | 0.8–1.5 | 0.8–2 |
The reference performance ranges above are listed for granite conditions. The Multi-Wire Series is also used for granite and marble slab processing; operating parameters for marble should be confirmed according to the stone and machine conditions.
Coating and bead-fixation configuration should be confirmed with CAHARD when ordering the selected series and diameter.
After selecting the correct processing series, confirm the bead diameter according to the machine configuration and application. Φ7.3 mm is used in both series, while the other diameters are specific to either Profiling or Multi-Wire applications.
| Bead Diameter | Series | Primary Application | Machine / Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Φ9.0 mm | Profiling Series | Granite curve and irregular slab cutting | Confirm according to profiling machine setup and required profile. |
| Φ7.3 mm | Profiling / Multi-Wire | Profiling or granite / marble slab processing | Confirm the intended processing method and machine type before selection. |
| Φ6.3 mm | Multi-Wire Series | Granite and marble slab processing | Match to the multi-wire saw configuration and number of wires. |
| Φ5.3 mm | Multi-Wire Series | Granite and marble slab processing | Match to the multi-wire saw configuration and number of wires. |
For Multi-Wire applications, please provide the machine model and number of wires. The available Multi-Wire Series is intended for machines configured with 5–72 wires.
The correct wire selection depends on the stone, processing method and machine configuration. To help CAHARD recommend a suitable Profiling or Multi-Wire configuration, please provide the following information when possible.
Based on the stone type, processing application and machine configuration, CAHARD can help recommend a suitable diamond wire series and diameter for the project.
