Abstract

A method for slicing workpiece reusing a wire used for previous slicing of a workpiece to slice a subsequent workpiece by which the workpiece is pressed against a wire row and sliced, the wire row being formed of the wire spirally wound between a plurality of wire guides and travels in an axial-direction, where wire tension at the time of slicing the workpiece is set to a value in the range of 87 to 95% of wire tension in the previous slicing of the workpiece, a new wire supply amount at the time of slicing the workpiece is set to a value in the range of 125% or more of a new wire supply amount in the previous slicing of the workpiece, and the wire is reused to slice the subsequent workpiece.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for slicing a workpiece, comprising:
reusing a wire that was used to slice a previously sliced workpiece to slice the workpiece by:
pressing the workpiece against a wire row and slicing the workpiece while supplying a working fluid, the wire row being formed of the wire that is spirally wound between a plurality of wire guides and travels in an axial direction;
reducing a wire tension from a predetermined wire tension used when slicing the previously sliced workpiece to a value in the range of 87 to 95% of the predetermined wire tension, and at the time of slicing, slicing the workpiece with the reduced wire tension; and
increasing a wire supply amount from a predetermined wire supply amount used when slicing the previously sliced workpiece to a value in the range of 125% or more of the predetermined wire supply amount, and at the time of slicing, slicing the workpiece with the increased wire amount.

2. The method for slicing the workpiece according to claim 1 ,
wherein, at the time of slicing the workpiece, a workpiece feed rate is set to a value in the range of 83 to 91% of the workpiece feed rate that was used for the previously sliced workpiece.
