Abstract

This paper shows a case study of the 3I (Innovation by Increasing Ideality) method to resolve a production-related problem with cleaning distance rings. These rings are used to hold the gap between saw blades during the process of cutting hard crystals. The problem is that sediments are created on the rings from the material being cut and rust from blades. By cleaning the sediments, rings are often damaged, and their thickness is changed. By the use of the 3I method, several proposals to resolve this problem were found. As a recommended solution, the use of a cleaning laser was chosen.
