EVS-EN 15027:2007

The global description “wall saw and wire saw equipment” contains two differing types of machines for use in the construction industry, and both used to make cuts on walls, ceilings and floors composed of mineral construction materials and/or composite materials. The many different cutting tasks and choice of operating method determine the type of machine to be used for each application. The machines may therefore be split into the following two principal classifications:- Wall saws – exclusively rail guided – transportable.- Wire saws – transportable.The machines are intended for the use of diamond tools. The types of cutting tools used in conjunction with the machines as described above fall within the design and use parameters supplied by the manufacturer. Cutting debry generated by the cutting action is removed from the cutting joint by a medium such as water directed to the cutting tool. Machines covered by this standard may be powered by: electric motor, IC engine, electro-hydraulic drive and IC engine-hydraulic drive.
