Compared with circular and gang sawing, diamond wire sawing is a flexible machining mode due to its special structure characteristic. The diamond wire with the elastic steel core bends and vibrates in sawing process. In this paper, the vibration characteristics are analyzed in the granite sawing with the diamond wire. The vibration signals in the sawing process are simultaneously measured at six different measurement points along the cutting zone. The influences of sawing parameters on the vibration characteristics are explored. The results show that the vibration amplitude is a U-shaped distribution in the sawing arc. The vibration amplitude decreases with the increase of wire speeds, feed rates and the tension forces. The vibration fundamental frequency is certainly proportional to the number of wheel speed times the number of beads per meter, which has no related to the feed rates and tension forces in the saw process. The wire vibration indicates the impact of bead acted on the workpiece.
