The workpiece holding portion 4 2 A, 4 2 B > VL i* nr + one of the above-mentioned vertical "one side faces: other:: arranged in a row - column" The position "on the upper portion of the workpiece cutting portion 2" is held by the slicing base (not shown). The direction of the held workpiece W is set such that the crystal orientation of the object can be obtained based on the crystal axis ' The upper workpiece holding portion 42A (the first workpiece holding portion 42A) holds the workpiece 44 above the upper line group among the line groups formed between the guide rollers (10) of the first workpiece cutting portion 1A, The lower workpiece holding portion (four) is interposed between the first knife and the upper portion of the line group formed between the guide roller 1 Oa 1 Ob formed on the second workpiece cutting portion 1β, and the workpiece μ is held on the upper side. 201127551 The workpiece conveyance motor 43 and the ball screw (baU screw: interlocking with each other) causes the vertical table 4 to be held by the workpiece holding portions 42A and 42B, respectively. The workpiece 44 of 42B is lifted and lowered in one piece. In the line ore, the guide roller 1 1 Ob between the workpiece cutting portions 1A and 1B is a cut region, and the line formed in the cut region is grouped and rotated in the longitudinal direction at the same time. At the same time, the workpiece conveyance device 40 cuts and transports the wire holding group 42a and the workpiece of the peach to the cutting region, and the outer side of the wire group wound around the guide roller 1 〇b The conveyance is cut in the same direction toward the inside (in the drawing from the upper side to the lower side), whereby a plurality of wafers (sheets) are simultaneously cut out by the respective workpieces 44. The wire saw further has a control benefit 50 that integrally controls the cutting operation of the workpiece 44. The controller 50 drives the wire w to drive the motor 14A, "8 to the respective lines, and drives the motor 14A, "8 to drive the wire w to the south speed in the designated direction and detects based on the tension detectors π, 19 The tension of the tension line adjusting device 15 Α, 15β of the outgoing line W controls the tension of the line W. Further, the controller 50 includes the function of the control device according to the present invention, and the tension detector 18 (corresponding to the tension detector of the present invention) provided between the two workpiece cutting units i Α and 1β. The detected value adjusts the rotational driving speed of the guide rollers 1A, i〇b of the workpiece cutting portions 1A, 1B so that the line W guided from one of the workpiece cutting portions 1A, 1B to the other is guided. The tension is controlled within an appropriate range. The tension control of the line w between the workpiece cutting units 1A and 1B is described in the flowchart of Fig. 2. When the line is started, the controller 50 first The motor control circuit outside the figure outputs a control signal for driving the bobbins 13A, 13B of the respective wire feeding/winding devices 1 2A, i 2B, and drives the workpiece cutting portions ΙΑ, 1B at a predetermined number of rotations (rotation speed). Guide rollers i〇a, i〇b (step S3). Then, when the rotational speed of the guide rollers 1 〇a, 1 Ob reaches a target value, the controller 50 is based on the output signal from the tension detector 18. Judging the tension of the line w between the workpiece cutting portions 1A, 1B (When the tension detection value) is a value (admissible value) within the allowable range set in advance (step s5), if the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S3. In contrast, when it is determined in step S5 If "No,", it is further determined whether the tension detection value is lower than the allowable value (the lowest value within the allowable range) (step s7). When the determination is "Yes," the controller 5 approaches the above. The motor control belt i circuit outputs a control signal, and the rotation speed of the guide rollers 1〇&, l〇b of the workpiece cutting portion 1A (or 1B) located on the downstream side of the line direction is increased by a preset speed. (Step S9) Specifically, when the line w is in the above-described swaying state (refer to the solid arrow in the figure), the rotation speed of the guide roller core and (10) of the second workpiece cutting portion 1B is determined. When the field is in the second traveling state (see the dotted arrow in the figure i), the rotation speed of the guide rollers IGa and 1Gb of the first guard cutting unit 1A is increased. Thus, the workpiece cutting unit 1Α, 1β is accelerated. The workpiece on the downstream side = broken. The guide roller of the 卩 1〇, 1〇b The rotational speed, correspondingly the line w is pulled down to the muscle side, and accordingly, the tension of the line w between the workpiece cutting portion j A is increased by 0 10 201127551. In this embodiment, the controller 50 is the workpiece cutting portion 1A. (or ib) one of the guide rollers 10a, 10b is guided by one of the guide rollers 1a as the main wheel to control the rotational speed thereof, and the other side of the guide roller i 〇b is used to torque the roller 10b Control (torque control) to avoid slack in the line group. On the other hand, if the determination in step S7 is "NO", that is, when the tension detection value is higher than the allowable value (the highest value within the allowable range), control The controller 50 outputs a control signal to the motor control circuit so that the workpiece cutting portion 丄a, 1 β is located on the downstream side of the line traveling direction (second workpiece cutting portion), and the rotation of the pulleys l〇a, 1 Ob The speed is slowed down by the speed set in advance (step S11). As described above, if the rotation speeds of the guide rollers l〇a and 丨〇b of the workpiece cutting portion on the downstream side in the line running direction of the workpiece cutting portions 1a and 1B are slowed down, the corresponding line W is loosened, and the workpiece cutting portion is loosened. The tension of the line w between 1 a and 1 B decreases. As described above, in the wire saw, the tension detector 18 detects the tension of the wire W between the workpiece cutting portions U and 1B, and controls the tension of the wire W so that the detected value is not within the allowable range. The detected value is within this range. Further, as a specific means, in the wire saw, the tension of the wire W is adjusted (changed) by the change of the rotational speed of the guide rollers 10a and 10b of the workpiece cutting portions i A and 1β, and therefore, compared with In the conventional wire saw, that is, the wire saw which uses a tension adjusting mechanism (adjusting the pulley W) to adjust the tension of the wire by the tension detecting device to detect the tension of the wire can adjust the tension of the wire boundary more quickly. That is, in the wire saw of this embodiment, the tension of the wire w is controlled by changing the rotational speed of the guide rollers 10a, 10b that have been rotationally driven, and the tension is adjusted as in the past; The casing (adjustment pulley) starts to be driven by the tension phase when the tension is adjusted, and the time delay of the tension change until the thread tension is actually changed from the tension detector (1) is small, and the tension of the corresponding ground line w is The correction is faster. According to the wire saw of the embodiment, the wire tension between the workpiece cutting portions 1A and 1B can be more appropriately maintained within the allowable range, and as a result, the wire W can be more reliably prevented from being broken. . Further, the wire saw is an ideal example of a wire saw according to the present invention, and the specific configuration thereof can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the tension adjustment of the line W between the workpiece cutting portions 丨Α and 1β changes the downstream side of the line cutting direction of the workpiece cutting portions u and 1β (the present invention relates to the (2) the workpiece cutting portion, and the rotation speed of the guide rollers (the second guide rollers) 10a and 10b, but the guide roller 1A of the workpiece cutting portion 1A (or 1B) on the upstream side in the line running direction is changed. The same effect can be obtained by the rotation speed of 1 〇b. Further, as described above, only the rotation speeds of the guide rollers 10a and 10b of one of the workpiece cutting portions ΙΑ and 1B can be changed. When the deviation between the tension detecting values of the guide rollers 10a and 10b of the workpiece cutting portions ΙΑ and 1B is large, for example, when the deviation from the tension detection value with respect to the allowable value is large, the workpiece cutting unit 变更 is changed. The rotation speeds of the guide rollers i〇a and 1〇b of both sides of 1B can adjust the thread tension more quickly. Therefore, when the deviation of the tension detection value with respect to the valley s value is smaller than the specified value, the change is made. Guide roller l of one of the workpiece cutting portions ΙΑ, 1B When the above-mentioned deviation is equal to or greater than the specified value, the rotation speed of the workpiece cutting unit 卩ΙΑ and the guide rollers 10a and 10b of both sides is changed. This control is effective. The controller 50 calculates the correction value of the rotation speed of the guide rollers 丨〇a, 1 〇b when the tension detection value of the tension detector 18 deviates from the allowable value of the pre-break setting, so that the tension detection value is The deviation of the allowable values is 〇, and the rotation speed of the guide rollers i〇a, 1〇b may be changed based on the correction value. That is, the rotation speeds of the guide rollers l〇a, 10b are feedback-controlled to the tension detection. The H 18 t tension detection value may be within a range in which the allowable value is set in advance. This control makes it possible to drive the drive line W more reliably within the range of the allowable value. The present month includes at least the ith workpiece cut. The concept of the line ore of the second workpiece cutting unit includes, for example, a wire saw having three or more workpiece cut portions. For example, the third workpiece may be interposed between the line feed device and the first workpiece cut portion. Cutting section 'also In addition, the third workpiece cutting unit is interposed between the second workpiece cutting unit and the wire winding device. Further, in addition to the above configuration, it is preferable to further include a tension fluctuation absorbing mechanism. Gp, as described above, if the rotation speed of at least one of the guide roller cores and 1〇b in the workpiece cutting portion ΙΑ, 1B is changed in order to adjust the thread tension ', then between the workpiece cutting portions 1A and 1B The length of the line changes, and the time line is slack or too tight. Depending on the situation, it may become a line, causing tangles or disconnection. However, the occurrence or relaxation of the seed line W is borrowed. It is avoided by the tension fluctuation mitigation mechanism having the k-motion of the tension line tension. 13 201127551 Fig. 3 is a view schematically showing an example of a line ore including the above-described tension fluctuation mitigation mechanism. The tension fluctuation relieving mechanism exemplified herein is provided between the workpiece portion U and the tension detector 18, and includes a pulley 53 and a tension spring 54. The pulley 53 is disposed so as to be displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the two workpiece cutting portions ια, ΐβ are arranged, and hung on the pulley 53. The stretcher 54 is connected to the pulley 53 and is fixed to the wall, and the above-mentioned slide 3553 is horizontally oriented by the elastic force of the extension spring 54 itself (more specifically, the pulley 53 is biased to the line #) Direction) push. The wire W is hung from the guide slip 327 in the order from the side closer to the workpiece cutting portion 1A, the tension variation: and the mechanism pulley 53, the guide pulley 52, 28, the tension detector pulley 18a, and the guide Pulley 29. In the i-saw, the right workpiece cutting portion] a, j b "the length of the line between the two becomes longer, and the pulley 53 is stretched based on the elastic force of the stretching magazine 54. That is, the pulley 53 is elastically displaced toward the (-) side in the drawing. According to this, it is possible to prevent the line W#彡, gas, and relaxation which are caused by the increase in the line length described above. On the other hand, when the line length of the workpiece cutting portions 1a and 1B is shortened, the spring force of the extension spring 54 is resisted, and the pulley 53 is displaced toward the (+) side. According to this, it is possible to prevent the above-mentioned line length from being reduced: the line w is too tight. In other words, the elastic displacement of the pulley 53 accompanying the fluctuation of the line between the workpiece cutting portion ΐΑ and the ΐβ effectively alleviates the fluctuation of the thread tension caused by the variation of the line length. The "pushing part" of the mitigation mechanism is not limited to the stretcher yellow 54 which is not shown in Fig. 3. For example, the pressing portion may be rotatably supported by the support wheels 58 parallel to the respective guide pulleys and the guide rollers to rotate the central axis, as shown in Figs. 4) and (b). a 14 201127551 arm 56 having a fixed wall or the like; and a torsion spring attached to the support shaft 58 to give the arm 56 a pressing force in a rotational direction thereof, the pulley 53 being rotatable The ground is supported by the rotating end of the arm 56. In this mechanism, the direction in which the torsion spring 59 is pressed against the arm 56 and the pulley 53 is set to the direction in which the pulley 53 applies tension to the wire w (at the 4th) (a) in the (a) side direction), the same operational effects as those in the example shown in Fig. 3 can be obtained. As described above, the present invention provides the second workpiece cutting portion and the second member cutting. And a wire saw capable of appropriately adjusting the tension of the cutting wire between the two workpiece cutting portions with high responsiveness. The wire saw includes a wire feeding device and a cutting wire for sending; The workpiece cutting unit includes a plurality of first guide rollers and an ith drive that rotationally drives the guide rollers The moving portion is wound around the respective ith guide wheels by the cutting wire sent from the wire feeding device to form a wire group for the workpiece cutting, and the second workpiece cutting portion has a plurality of (2) The guide roller and the rotation drive drive the second drive 4' of the second guide rollers to be finely ground and cut by the first workpiece. The above-mentioned cutting wire for P ¥ is wound around each of the second guides. Leading the roller to form a line group for cutting the workpieces of the t彳sheng+Zhaocheng workpiece; the winding of the wire is taken from the second workpiece to the age of the second workpiece, and the cutting line is taken. The thief detects the tension of the upper cutting line between the first workpiece cutting 第 and the second workpiece cutting unit; the upper part of the control device 卩门月 I·, 十喧〇扩杏刀The first guide roller and the second guide roller of the first guide roller and the second guide roller rotate the guide roller and the upper (four) 2 guide by the first drive and the second drive unit. The control splitting changes the above-mentioned first degree of distraction so that at least one of the above-mentioned tension detecting numbers 2 is rotated to detect the tension within the specified range. 15 201127551 In the line mine, the tension of the cutting line from the first workpiece cutting to the second workpiece cutting unit is detected by the tension detector, and at least one of the second guide roller and the second guide roller is changed. The rotation speed is such that the detected tension is within a specified range, that is, by adjusting the difference between the rotation speed of the 帛i guide bow and the rotation speed of the second guide roller: The tension of the wire is broken, so that the time lag can be shortened by the configuration tb of the tension aging mechanism after the detection of the wire tension in the past. The pellet is preferably used as the control device based on the tension detector. The deviation between the tension detection value and the allowable value set in advance is used to feedback-control the rotation speed of the guide roller. In this case, the control device may change, for example, only one of the first guide roller and the second guide roller when the deviation is less than a predetermined value. When the deviation is equal to or greater than a certain value, the gi guide is changed. The rotation speed of both the guide roller and the second guide roller. Furthermore, it is preferable that the wire saw according to the present invention further includes a tension fluctuation mitigating mechanism for mitigating a thread tension which varies due to a line length of the cutting wire from the first workpiece cutting portion to the second workpiece cutting portion. change. The change of the rotational speed of the guide roller as described above may cause a slack or excessive tension in the line length of the cutting line from the second workpiece cutting portion to the second workpiece cutting portion. By the tension fluctuation mitigation mechanism having the gentle tension fluctuation, it is possible to prevent the slack or overstress of the cutting wire caused by the sudden change of the tension, and to prevent the entanglement or disconnection of the cutting wire due to the slack or overstress. Suffering from it. The tension fluctuation mitigation mechanism as described above preferably includes a pulley of the above-mentioned workpiece workpiece cutting portion and the second work-breaking line; and the above-mentioned cutting force is hung between the broken portions. Directional elastic push m (7) The wheel is biased to the cutting line by the pressing force, and the elastic portion of the pulley is cut by the first workpiece. The second position of the line length change, the change in the twist and the thread tension.
