The efficient use of these machines reduces<br />operating costs by ensuring less diamond wire wear and longer wire life at high speeds. The<br />purpose of this study is to develop cuttability chart for real marble sample based on unit wear and<br />unit energy in monowire cutting system and also perform cutting optimization. For this purpose, the<br />full automatically servo controlled monowire cutting system which can cut blocks in three<br />dimensions were developed in Hacettepe University Mining Engineering Department. Cutting<br />experiments were performed at different wire rotation speed (peripheral speed) and wire downward<br />movement speed (cutting speed) on the real marble block which was transported to the laboratory.<br />A cuttability abacus in monowire cutting system taking into consideration the unit energy<br />consumption during cutting operation and unit wear on diamond beads was developed with Design<br />Expert 7.1 software for real marble sample by using the results obtained.}, journal={International Conference on Stone and Concrete Machining (ICSCM)}, author={Yilmazkaya, Emre and Ozcelik, Yilmaz}, year={2015}, month={Nov.}, pages={73–85} }
