Xiamen Chiyi Stone Machine
Co., Ltd. is committed to manufacturing a variety of machines and systems for
natural stone processing industry. The product range covers bridge saws, granite block cutter,
granite cutting machine, granite polishing machine, etc. These machines have
been widely used in stone processing plants for sawing stone block, slab &
tile polishing, edge cutting, profiling, calibrating, chamfering, etc.
1. Beams and Bridge
Since the saw mechanism moves
along the bridge and beams, these parts need to be strong and stable. The
pressure created from cutting through heave stone will transfer to the bridge
and beams. If the bridge and beams are not strong enough, they will give
causing the cut to be off. Although cast iron beams can add up to 2 tons of
weight, it is best to have a bridge saw that is more accurate and durable because
it is built sturdier.
2. Oil Bath
A life saving feature for a
bridge saw will be the oil bath. Stone cutting produces a great deal of dust
and moisture that can be detrimental to the rollers and bearings of the
machine. An oil bath will provide a self-maintaining lubricated track saving
maintenance costs that come with bridge saws that have open, dry channels. This
oil bath will also provide smoother tracking to increase the accuracy of cuts.
3. Controls
The modern programmable
controls make running the bridge easier for the worker if it is user friendly.
Look for a controller that allows manual, semi-automatic, and completely
automatic programming. The operation of the controller should be simple enough
for anyone to figure out fairly quickly. The best location for the controller
is on a hanging pendant so that the operator does not have to walk around to
set all the features. This type of controller will make production much more
efficient.
4. Water System
When cutting stone, the water
system protects the stone from cracking from overheated blades. The best water
system for a bridge saw is an automatic valve that lets water out only when
needed. This eliminates having to manually turn the water on or off from a
distance that lets the water run longer than needed thereby increasing your
water usage. Another cost saving feature to consider is a closed water system
that recycles the water through the machine and possibly through the dust
booth.
5. Tilting Table
For limitless options of
angles, a hydraulic table that can be positioned to any angle rather than
preset angles is preferable. Not only does it make loading the slab easier, it
also allows angles for any required cut.
6. Motor
Depending on the material you
will be cutting, you can choose a smaller bridge saw with a 10 to 15 horsepower
motor. This is sufficient for up to 3cm thick stone. However, a larger 20
horsepower motor is needed for thick materials such as granite or marble.
7. Blades
Ranging from 24 inches to 48
inches, the size of the blade will also depend on the material you intend to
cut. The larger blades do allow faster cuts, but they will have to use the
larger motor.
8. Other Accessories
A laser can increase accuracy
of cuts by projecting a cut line across the material to help line up the bridge
saw blade with the cutting line. A safety shut-off device is a must to help
prevent accidental injuries to the operator. The warranty should also at least
meet the industry standards, which are one year on mechanical parts and labor
and 90 days on the electrical parts.
To produce good machine for
customer, we only employ specialized staffs who are skillful with field
knowledge and experience. They add value to the every single detail in machine
part construction and machine assembly. By creating a complete line of precise
stone machines with reliable quality and performance, now we not only supply
equipment for stone processing plants in China, but also export to Vietnam,
India, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, USA, Australia, and African countries.
