Experimental investigation yiel ded the relation between the contact and volume deformations of the pallet and an equation of its working surface. These results yielded the contact deformations at the pallet-clamping station joints. Analysis of the calculation results shows that the machining error due to the placem ent error alone is commensurable with the 7-th degree of precision. The obtained results can be used to select the element layout on the pallet and to develop CNC commands with allowance for the elastic deformations of the pallet. This operation is carried out on special sawing machines equipped with a disk sawing blade, 0.04-0.14mm thick and 76mm initial diameter.
Diamond powder is embedded in the disk periphery.
The outcome surface of a diamond after sawing must be flat and smooth. Whenever such a surface is actually obtained, the polishing time as well as the loss in size and weight of the diamon ds are reduced. In the present work the positioning of the diamond to be sawed, in respect to an embeded particle in the disk, creating a more favourable cutting angles which results in lower cutting forces is discussed. Furthermore, a method to control the morphology and grain size of the diamond powder to be used in the cutting, was developed. In addition the tangential and radial stresses, developed in the sawing methods discussed, were calculated.
