2. Category Division - Types Of Stone Cutting Machine
The division of stone machinery types in various stone production processes
There are many types and specifications of stone machinery, tools and auxiliary materials. According to the production process of stone, it is possible to clearly understand which machinery should be used in which process link in the whole process of stone production. Which machinery works in which link of production. It is also a convenient mode of modern management to divide the types of machinery according to the process of stone production.
The classification of stone machinery, tools, auxiliary materials, etc. is divided according to the process links related to stone production, use and maintenance.
The types of stone machinery are divided according to the various production processes of stone and examples

Such as cutting machine, cutting machine with diamond segment (or whole edge) circular saw blade will be used in cutting stone wool board, on-site decoration and inspection. Another example is drilling rigs. Various types of drilling rigs are also used in mine sampling, processing drilling, decoration, and artwork carving.
There are also divisions according to the materials used, such as stone processing tools made of diamond, cubic boron nitride, etc. as abrasives, which are collectively referred to as superhard material tools. Synthetic devices made from stone scraps are called superhard material tools. The synthetic stone equipment made of stone fragments is called synthetic stone production line, etc.
Stone machinery can also be summarized as: stone mining equipment, stone processing machinery, diamond saw blades, abrasives, abrasives, stone chemical protection supplies, various stone monitoring instruments.
3. Technical Equipment Editing
Types and innovations of new technology equipment for stone machinery
Stone machinery is also undergoing rapid changes like machinery in other industries. Today, stone machinery has made more progress in many types than before: such as sand saws for processing granite, it has developed to a processing capacity of 7m It is wide and can clamp 4 standard blocks at the same time. It has 230 saw blades and can process 3500m2 efficiency in 24 hours. The technology of wire saw machine and diamond beaded rope for mining granite has matured and started to enter the mine in batches. Special-shaped stone processing equipment is developing in the direction of diversification and multi-model. The popularization and use of stone machining centers with a variety of tools provides a means for product innovation. The introduction and application of stone CAD design software provides a variety of forms and patterns for stone decoration. Ultra-thin and super-large stone equipment has also been developed, making the specifications and dimensions of new products more suitable for decoration and decoration requirements. New and convenient stone decoration machinery and tools are more widely used in the decoration site. Stone cleaning, protection and bonding machinery has become a new application field of stone chemistry. The production equipment of artificial synthetic stone has been localized, which has promoted the utilization of resources and the development of the field of using artificial synthetic stone.

The development of these stone machinery will promote the stone industry to move towards modernization faster, so that the traditional stone industry will continue to present a new era.
4. Development Status - Types Of Stone Cutting Machine
1. Stone mining technology and equipment
At present, many stone mines in China still use the backward method of drilling and blasting to produce stone blocks, which not only has low production efficiency but also unsafe operations. The size of the blocks is irregular, and even scrapped due to cracks, the yield is very low. It is estimated that only 5% to 8% of the mining volume can be processed into timber by using the method of drilling and blasting. In the early 1980s, some developed countries in the stone industry have explicitly banned the use of explosive blasting to mine stone, and replaced it with advanced technologies such as diamond beaded wire saws. It can be said that this is a sign of the modernization of stone mining technology. An important indicator to measure the modernization of stone mining technology is: the number of cubic meters of blocks mined per capita per day. Industry insiders believe that the productivity of China’s stone mines is low. The reasons are lack of mechanized equipment, backward mining technology and poor production management. The average annual mining volume of some stone mines is only a few hundred to several thousand cubic meters, and the annual mining volume of a few stone mines is more than 10,000 cubic meters, and the annual per capita output is 6 m3. . The equivalent monthly output per capita is only 0.5 m3, which is lower than that of India. As we all know, India is also a big stone producing country. However, its granite mines are small in scale and have no modern equipment, so the productivity of stone blocks is very low. The average Japanese per capita is only 1 m3. Finland is the largest exporter of stone among the Scandinavian countries. Its granite mine production system is world-class, exporting at least 250,000 tons of granite every year, and the mine production efficiency is as high as 40 m3 per capita per day. The productivity of South African stone mines is at a medium level, with a daily per capita of 8-10 m3.
2. Stone processing machinery and equipment
In the past ten years, the development of China’s stone machinery and equipment has made great progress, and the degree of automation of some stand-alone performance has reached the international advanced level. But in terms of high-end technical equipment, there is currently no production in China. From the perspective of the automation degree of the overall production line of stone enterprises, there is still a gap compared with foreign countries. Some production links still rely on manual operation, which not only affects the production efficiency, but also causes unstable factors in the quality of finished products due to the low quality of employees. Even though most of the stone enterprises in Italy, the world’s leading stone country, use highly automated production lines, they still need personnel with certain stone knowledge and experience to master the technological parameters of the processing process in order to produce top-quality stone products.
At present, many foreign stone mines, especially granite mines, have fully adopted diamond beaded wire saws to mine blocks, and in the sawing and processing of granite blocks, multi-line diamond beaded wire saws have also been promoted. However, many stone companies in China still use old-fashioned frame saws. One of its significant advantages is the lower cost of sawing, but there are a number of disadvantages:
①The assembly cost is high, about four times that of the diamond beaded wire saw;
②There are many operators, at least two people are required to operate. More people are required to work together when changing the saw blade;
③The sawing speed is slow, the sawing speed of the old frame saw is only 2cm/h. The sawing speed of the new frame is only 3.5-3.8 cm/h. The sawing speed of the diamond beaded wire saw is as high as 20cm/h, which may be increased to 30cm/h;
