In this paper, a cause of a shock of an industrial chop saw is identified by experimental method and the shock is reduced by structural modifications. For the shock identification, vibration signals are measured by an accelerometer when the chop saw operates. Through some experiments, it is found that the shock is occurred by a slip between a spindle and a wheelwasher of the chop saw. To reduce the shock, One method is to lower the mass moment of inertia of the wheelwasher and the angular rotating acceleration of it. Another method is to broaden a contact area between the wheelwasher and the spindle. After designing and analyzing the wheelwasher and the spindle mechanically, a prototype of them is built. With the manufactured prototype, the performances and design requirements of them are experimentally verified by the response measurements.

In this paper, an impulse of an industrial chop Saw is identified by experimental method and the impulse is reduced by structural modification. For the impulse identification, vibration signals are measured by an accelerometer when the chop saw is operating. From some experiments, it is found that the impulse occurs when there is slip between spindle and the wheelwasher and contact area is small between the wheelwasher and cutting discs. The design of the wheelwasher for optimization is performed by the FEM and experiments and the prototype is manufactured. It is verified that considerable amount of impulses are reduced by the structural modification.
