Optimal opportunities at stone machining processes done by diamond tool

Abstract

Different types of stones are used in wider and wider range to produce covers,pavements, tiles, statues, souvenirs. Manufacturers are trying to satisfy the growing demandswith the help of the automatic machines of stone machining. One of the possible solutions to increase productivity is to optimize the stone machining processes. To realize optimization one needs to know the processes of stone machining, the factors affecting machining and the tool wear mechanism. Aim of the first phase of the research introduced in this paper is to create an overall knowledge of stone machining, highlighting the stone cutting process with disc. After acquiring the knowledge the next step is to execute the researches optimizing the stone machining processes.
