DESCRIPTION:

The Wachs Subsea Diamond Wire Saws are designed for underwater cutting of horizontal or vertical pipe, with only four models needed to cut 4" to 84" 0.0. (DN100-21). Running on hydraulic power, the wire saw is controlled remotely using the Wachs Topside Control Panel (TCP) or by ROV control operable via zero leak hot stabs.

All our Diamond Wire Saws features a patent pending hydrodynamic design that dramatically reduces centrifugal forces during operation, which means less power wasted in churning water and more power directed to cutting the workpiece.

 

PATENT PENDING FEED SYSTEM:

TheWachs DiamondWire Saw is the only machine of its kind with a patent pending, self-adjusting feed system that controls wire bend and automatically matches the feed rate to the cutting rate. With the ability to adjust or stop the feed entirely until the cutting action catches up, it delivers a more efficient cutting action with enhanced operator safety and greatly extended wire life.
