Abstract
A newly proposed wire cleaning apparatus used for removing slurry from a wire, which reciprocatively travels between a slicing chamber and a wiring chamber. The wire cleaning apparatus has a couple of multigrooved guide rollers,rotatably provided at a cover,A slurry receiver,is detachably attached to the cover,A centrifugal force is generated during repeated reciprocative movement of the wire,between the multigrooved guide rollers,and,. Slurry is shaken off from the wire,by the centrifugal force and gathered in the slurry receiver,Removal of the slurry is accelerated by spraying a cleaning liquid W at the same time. Introduction of the cleaning liquid W into the slicing chamber is inhibited by on-off control of the cleaning nozzles,in response to a travelling direction of the wire
