Excavator Rock Saw: A Robust Cutting Solution for Hard Materials
An excavator rock saw is a specialized attachment designed to transform an excavator into a powerful cutting machine for rock, concrete, asphalt, and other hard materials. It's widely used in construction, mining, and demolition projects where precise and efficient cutting of tough surfaces is required.
How It Works
- The rock saw mounts on the excavator's arm via a quick-coupler system, leveraging the excavator's hydraulic power for operation.
- A large, high-speed diamond-tipped blade (or carbide teeth) rotates to cut through rock and concrete. The blade is typically enclosed in a protective housing to prevent debris scattering.
- Hydraulic controls allow operators to adjust the cutting depth, speed, and angle, enabling vertical, horizontal, or angled cuts with precision.
Key Features
- Cutting Capacity:
- Blade diameter: Typically 600-1,200 mm (23.6-47.2 inches), suitable for cutting depths of 200-500 mm (7.9-19.7 inches).
- Cutting speed: 1,500-3,000 RPM, depending on material hardness.
- Power Source: Driven by the excavator's hydraulic system (pressure up to 35 MPa / 5,076 PSI), requiring no additional engines.
- Compatibility: Fits 10-30-ton excavators, with models available for both small-scale and heavy-duty projects.
- Safety Design: Includes anti-vibration mounts, emergency stop functions, and debris shields for operator protection.
