Wire Saw

Developed by: MB Spezialabbruch GmbH & Co. KG
Development timeframe: 2019

Wire Saws are used to machine components with large cutting depths and to cut tubular structural elements to size. Due to the flexibility of this technology, even cutting depths of several meters are no problem. With Wire Saw technology, the machine used does not have to be attached directly to the component.

With wire sawing, a steel wire strung with diamond beads is guided over rollers around the workpiece and up to a wire accumulator. The wire accumulator can hold 18.4 meters of wire. The saw wire is kept under the necessary strain by a straining device during the sawing process until the component is separated.

Since 2019, we have been using, among others, the electric Wire Saw DSW 3018-E from the HILTI, which is currently the most powerful machine on the market in its segment.
