NATURAL STONE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY AND ITS FEATURES
This article is devoted to the study of natural stone processing technology and its features. Technological processes, methods of natural stone processing are considered. It has been found that stone processing processes are based on the principle of destruction, the method, stage and type of which determine the differences in processes and their names. Destruction methods such as cutting (abrasive), chipping (impact) and heating (thermal), processing methods such as abrasive, sawing, edging, grinding and polishing have been defined. Also, the main technological schemes and machines for abrasive processing and instrumental methods and schemes for processing natural stone were studied. Stone processing technology represents a set of technological methods, as a result of which the natural stone is given certain shapes and sizes of the product, and the front surface is given a given texture. Based on the analysis and research of the technology and process of stone processing, a technological scheme has been developed to control the processing of end grinding of stone blanks.
