Discrete Simulation of the Infrastructure for Diamond Embedded Metallic Saw Production

Abstract

Diamond embedded cutting saws (DCSs) are basic tools commonly used in every ornamental stone processing operation from the extraction of the quarry block to the finishing of tiles. Diamond particles are the hard and abrasive essential component that has to be well adhered to the saw matrix, whether metallic, ceramic or polymeric. This work presents a computer simulation analysis and experimental design for an optimized manufacturing process of DCSs. This discrete simulation assesses the basic parameters involved in a possible industrial production in order to maximize the dynamics of the system and operational rules needed for best final products.
