The machining of a rail wheel profile requires a detailed study of the wheel-rail contact, rolling parameters and wear profiles. Profile optimization is crucial to ensure the efficiency and safety of the railway system. For this purpose, precise measurement technologies are essential, as they provide accurate wheel profile data.

  • Hub and tread machining

  • Parameterized programs

  • Automatic measuring cycles

  • Automatic machining cycles

The turning of the axle of railways wheels, either for reuse after a wheel change or for a new axle, requires a perfect fit with the wheel hub to be installed. The brake disc can be machined in the same operation.

  • Pre-positioning of the shaft on the lathe

  • Parameterized programs

  • Automatic measuring cycles

  • Automatic machining cycles

  • Communication with wheel hub boring machine

The reprofiling of rail axle-wheel assemblies requires precision turning and surface maintenance. Rigidity and reliability are critical, as is productivity. An agile loading and unloading process, together with the parameterization of measuring and machining cycles, are key aspects to maximize productivity. The brake disc can be machined in the same operation.

  • Maintenance of axle-wheel assemblies

  • Parameterized programs

  • Automatic measuring cycles

  • Automatic machining cycles

  • Gearbox mounting

The machining of the wheel hub must fit precisely to the axle on which it will be installed, as this fit is crucial to the safety of the train.

  • Automatic wheel loading

  • Parameterized programs

  • Automatic measuring cycles

  • Automatic machining cycles

  • Communication with shaft machining lathe
