METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SAW BLADES OR SAW BANDS
The present invention relates to a method for the production of saw blades or saw bands (1, 2) made of a base component (30), wherein the method comprises the following steps: (a) providing a band-shaped base component (30) having two carrier band section (32, 34) that are connected to a cutting material section (36) disposed therebetween, (b) separating the base component (30) into two partial bands (1, 2) by means of a separating cut (42, 44) through the cutting material section (36), (c) chipping the partial bands (1, 2) such that the desired cutting contour (4) is obtained directly, wherein the separating and the chipping are carried out as a continuous process on the same system. In one variant, the method comprises the following steps: (a) providing a first carrier band (32) and a second carrier band (34), (b) disposing cutting segments (38) between the carrier bands (32, 34), (c) welding successive cutting segments (38) to the first carrier band (32) and the second carrier band (34) in an alternating manner such that two partial bands (1, 2) are created, (d) chipping the partial bands (1, 2) such that the desired cutting contour (4) is obtained directly, wherein the welding and the chipping are carried out as a continuous process on the same system.
