An analytical dynamic force model for sawing force prediction considering the material removal mode

Abstract

Diamond circular saw blades are indispensable tools in the industry of granite processing. Accurate prediction of sawing force is essential for optimizing the processing in advance. In this study, the calculation method for uncut chip thickness and instantaneous chip thickness was improved based on granite sawing characteristics. Furthermore, an analytical prediction force model was proposed in view of deep and intermittent grinding, which comprehensively considers the characteristics of diamond grits (including grit size, location distribution, and protrusion height) and material removal mode. The error between the predicted results and the experimental results is <12 %, indicating that the model can accurately predict the cutting force. The proposed analytical model provides a method to optimize the sawing parameters without the need for extensive experiments. This model can also extend to calculate parameters such as energy consumption and carbon emissions in the stone processing industry.
