PATENT SPECIFICATION
Stone Edge Slitting and Cutting Machine
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention is related with the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which enables the production and mounting of granite ceramics used in the external coatings of buildings such as houses, business centres, public and social buildings via clipped external surface coating system. By means of the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is subject of the invention, the granite ceramics used in the external and internal surfaces of the buildings are being prepared for construction mounting via slitting clips onto the thin edges of them. The mounting of the granite ceramics manufactured by the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is subject of the invention is provided to be more economical and maintained to be easily mechanically mounted the surface in all kinds of weather conditions.
THE KNOWN STATUS OF THE TECHNIQUE
Today, clips and grooves are being used in mounting of the granite ceramics used in the surface coatings however, the disadvantage of this system is the carriers, and the clips used in the process of mounting the granite ceramic onto the system are visible on the surface.
In the other system with grooves, the process of mounting are carried out via the grooves cut behind the granite ceramic plates and this leads to the reduction of the breaking strength of the used coating layer.
Today, cutting of clips, grooves, or slits onto the thin edges of the granite ceramic coatings used in the internal and external coating applications is extremely difficult due to the hardness and low breaking strength of the materials used. During these
groove and slit cutting processes, the material is being subjected to damages and it becomes impossible to proceed with flawless production.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention is related with the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is capable of overcoming the above-mentioned disadvantages. The most important feature of the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is the subject of the invention is the capability of cutting clips, slits, and grooves onto the granite ceramic coatings in a rapid manner.
The stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is subject of the invention maintains the manufacture of the granite ceramic coatings used in the Patent Application titled "Clipped Surface Coating System" and No: TR 2005 04820..
By means of the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is subject of the invention, the granite ceramics used in the external and internal surfaces of the buildings are being prepared for construction mounting via slitting clips onto the thin edges of them. The mounting of the granite ceramics manufactured by the stone edge slitting and cutting machine which is subject of the invention is provided to be more economical and maintained to be easily mechanically mounted the surface in all kinds of weather conditions.
The most important features of the surface coating systems in which the granite ceramic coatings manufactured by stone edge slitting and cutting machine are used is the invisibility of the mounting elements from outside. Furthermore, although it is extremely difficult to cut grooves, slits or clips onto the thin edges of the granite ceramic coatings via the systems being used today, this process is carried out via an extremely safe and rapid manner by means of the stone edge slitting and cutting machine.
One of the important features of this machine and the systems manufactured by this machine is that there is no disadvantages in terms of reduction of the
breaking strength of the material as the cut clips are not on the surface of the granite ceramic coating.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
This invention consists of rail holder (1), plate carrier (2), base plates (3), motor supporting plate (4), motors (5), wheels and rails (6), diamond cutter discs (7), machine chassis (8) motor shaft (9), coating layer (10), wheel holder plate (11), retainer arms (12), pneumatic holders (13), motor (14), water pump (15), pipes (16), valves (17), nozzles (18) and a water tank (19).
The granite ceramic coating material is loaded onto the machine manually or automatically via conveyor. Machine takes the material towards the diamond cutter discs (7) by means of retainer arms (12) and leaves it there. The material is fixed firmly sides and above via the pneumatic retainers (13) upon arriving at the location of cutting. At the same time, the retainer arms (12) return back to take the
second piece. After the fixing process, four of the diamond cutter discs (7) which are mounted on the motors (5) activate to slit the fixed stone from left and right. After the slitting process which can be adjusted in the desired measures, the diamond cutter discs (7) return back to their original positions. While the retainer arms (12) feed the second material, the processed material is being carried away from the machine. This period continues repeatedly.
1 , 2, or 4 motors (5) can be used in the stone edge slitting and cutting machine and the diamond cutter discs (7) which carry out the cutting process are mounted to the motors (5) via motor shaft (9). Motors (5) and the motor shafts (9) in contact with those as well as the diamond cutter discs (7) are located on the motor supporter plate (4) and can be activated via motor supporter plate (4).
Rail holder (1) achieves the process of carrying the wheels and rails (6) and mounted on the machine chassis (8). Plate holder (2) achieves the function of carrying the base plates (3) and it is in contact with machine chassis (8) and base plates (3). Base plates (3) carry out the functions of supporting and bearing the wheels and rails (6) as well as providing the calibration of those. Base plates (3) are in contact with machine chassis (8), wheels, and rails (6).
Wheels and rails (6) are the parts that provide the actuation and supporting of the motor supporter plate (4). Machine chassis (8) forms the frame of the machine and provides the supporting and the assembly of the machine. Motor supporter plate (4) is movable part and it is in contact with wheels and rails (6) and the motors (5).
Stone edge slitting and cutting machine uses fluid cutting during the process by means of the closed circuit water system. All of the component parts of the machine which are in contact with the water are made of stainless steel. The other parts such as machine chassis (8) and plates (3, 11) are made of galvanized steel.
Closed circuit water system consists of a motor (14), a water pump (15), pipes (16), valves (17), nozzles (18), and a water tank (19).
The water pump (15) activates as the motor (14) starts and the water is circulated through the system via pipes (16) and valves (17) and sprayed on the system via the nozzles (18). During the stone edge slitting and cutting process, the water fed from the nozzles (18) to the system is reserved in the water tank (19) located at the bottom and used again and again via the motors (14).
During the stone (19) edge slitting and cutting process, the particles of the cut coating layer (10) are prevented from entering the system through the water pump (15) and cause blockages by means of the compartments on the left of the water tank (19).
