Sawing rope

摘要

A sawing rope (270) with abrasive elements (506) fixed on a steel rope (502) with a polymer jacket (504) is described and claimed. The abrasive elements (506) are made of a metallic sleeve on which an abrasive layer is deposited by means of electrolytic deposition, by means of sintering or by means of cladding for example laser cladding. Characteristic about this sawing rope (270) in view of the prior known sawing ropes is that each sleeve shows a connection or closure. Such a connection makes it possible to attach abrasive elements (506) on the rope without having to thread them on the rope (270) as is needed when making prior-art sawing ropes. The inventive sawing rope (270) can therefore be made in long lengths in a very efficient way.

主权项

1. A sawing rope comprising a wire rope with a polymer jacket covering said wire rope, abrasive elements comprising a metal sleeve and an abrasive layer with abrasive particles, said metal sleeve being held by said polymer jacket for holding said abrasive elements fixed at intervals along said sawing rope,
wherein said metal sleeve comprises at least one connection for closing said metal sleeve around said wire rope, wherein said metal sleeve has a structured inside surface comprising protrusions and/or recesses, wherein the protrusions comprise the shape of a pyramid, a smooth ridge, or a serrated ridge, and the recesses comprise holes and/or screw threading.
