Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wire management system (7) for a wire saw (8) having a cutting wire (3) which is guided through a cutting area (13), the wire management system (7) comprising a wire supplying unit (5) for supplying cutting wire (3) to the cutting area (13) of the wire saw (8) and a wire receiving unit (6) for receiving cutting wire (3) from the cutting area (13) of the wire saw (8), wherein at least one of the wire supplying unit (5) and the wire receiving unit (6) comprises: at least one rotatable reservoir spool (1) for carrying the cutting wire (3) in overlapping windings, at least one rotatable storage spool (2) for temporarily receiving the cutting wire (3) in windings, wherein the rotational axis (2b) of the storage spool (2) coincides with the rotational axis (1 b) of the reservoir spool (1), a wire guiding means (9) for guiding the cutting wire (3) when being wound up on the storage spool (2), such that the wire windings on the storage spool (2) do not overlap each other and/or have a lower density than the windings on the reservoir spool (1 ).
