Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extend the life of a saw blade by detecting the amount of lancing of the saw blade with high detecting accuracy, and restraining the lancing according to the amount of lancing. SOLUTION: The amount of lancing displacement of a saw blade BS is detected by a saw blade displacement detection device 13 during cutting work to obtain a computed value of the amount of lancing. The cut plane of a cut product is measured by a cut plane lancing detection device 15 to detect the actual amount of lancing. The computed value of the amount of lancing during the cutting work for the product is obtained by a saw blade displacement detection device 13. The computing part 17 of a control device 3 reflects the difference between the actual amount of lancing of the product and the computed value of the amount of lancing during the cutting work on the computed value of the amount of lancing of the saw blade BS during the cutting work and converts the latter computed value into an accurate expected amount of lancing of the saw blade BS. When the expected amount of lancing is smaller than a lancing limit value but greater than a predetermined set value, a comparison judging device 41 decreases cutting speed and or saw blade speed and the cutting work is continued.

In the cutting of a sawing machine, generally, the saw blade tends to be slightly bent immediately after the start of cutting, and a slight unbalance of the saw blade or the work material occurs in either direction. Try to turn. On the other hand, it is considered that a force for returning the bend is generated by the tension of the saw blade, and the cutting proceeds in a state where the above-described force for the bend is balanced with the force for the return.

This delicate balance relationship is such that as the wear of the tooth tips progresses, the force generated by the increase in cutting resistance and the imbalance of wear becomes more distorted as the force for straightening the saw blade is broken, and The amount increases gradually.
