WIRE HANDLING UNIT, WIRE SAW DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

摘要

A wire management unit has a main frame portion 110 and a wire handling section 200, the wire handling section comprising: a spool shaft adapted for carrying a spool 212 providing the wire 10 towards the wire web; a first pulley 220 adapted for receiving the wire from the spool and for redirecting the wire, the first pulley being rotatably mounted to a pulley carrying unit 224 for rotation around a first pulley axis 222, the pulley carrying unit being longitudinally movable along a pulley motion track; and a second pulley 230 adapted for receiving the wire from the first pulley 220 and for redirecting the wire. The second pulley is rotatably mounted to the main frame portion 100 for rotation around a second pulley axis 232. The first pulley 220 and the second pulley 230 are arranged such that during operation the wire is redirected by the first pulley by a first redirection angle of not more than 120°, and that the wire is redirected by the second pulley by a second redirection angle of not less than 60°.
