Abstract
Slices are cut from workpieces using a wire saw having a wire array tensioned in a plane between two wire guide rollers each supported between fixed and floating bearings and comprising a chamber and a shell enclosing a core and having guide grooves for wires. During a cut-off operation, a workpiece is fed through the wire array perpendicular to a workpiece axis and the wire array plane. The workpiece is fed through the wire array while simultaneously: changing shell lengths by adjusting chamber temperatures in dependence on a depth of cut and a first correction profile; and moving the workpiece along the workpiece axis in accordance with a second correction profile. The correction profiles are opposed to a shape deviation.
