DIN EN 15163:2014-07

This European Standard applies to diamond wire saws being used in quarries or in sawmills for cutting natural stones (e. g. marble, granite). Diamond wire saws can have one or more wires (diamond multi-wire saws). The multi-wire saws work in sawmills on blocks having been already extracted. The diamond wire saws can be either stationary or travelling on rails during operation. Diamond wire saws in the scope have an electric main motor. This standard deals with machines working in one main axis as well as in several axes. Diamond wire saws are intended to be used with diamond cutting wires also referred to as tools in this standard. This standard only deals with machines using coated wire tools.
