Although rock cutting mechanisms have been studied for many years, significant improvements in the technology are still possible through the development of rigorous scientific approaches.

The understanding of the basic mechanisms of cutting a single tool is essential to interpret the process of cutting any sawing. The integration of these mechanisms in complex processes to detect mechanical problems before they occur.

The detailled scientific approach developed by Stone Assistance is based on experimental studies in laboratory instrumentation coupled machines in quarries or stonemasons. This approach has already been validated for the development of a new configuration of cutting tools for cutting machinery chain.

• The development of test benches

• The comparative study of the performance tool

• The instrumentation of the natural stone processing machines

• The study of machinery performance in view of increasing their effectiveness
