To improve the sawing stability and slicing quality of an existing multi-wire saw under severe vibrations using a high wire speed, its structure is optimized to improve its structural stiffness, so that it can still maintain good operation stability under higher wire speed. First, a finite element simulation model is established based on the shape, structural and material characteristics of the multi-wire saw, and then a transient dynamic simulation calculation is carried out using finite element software to obtain the vibration characteristics of the machine, which is verified with the measured data. The results show that the error between the calculated and the measured value is less than 11.46%, which verifies the accuracy of the simulation. On this basis, a multi-objective optimization design method based on the response surface is used to optimize the structure of the whole machine, and the optimized model is simulated again to evaluate its optimization effect. The results show that the amplitude of the optimized machine at a 2400 m/min wire speed is equivalent to that of the original machine at a 1500 m/min wire speed, and the wire speed is increased by 60% year-on-year with the same operation stability, which can guide research on high-speed multi-wire saws and machine tool vibration control strategies.
