AUTOMATED WHEEL BORING AND WHEELSET MOUNT CELL

The cell assembles freight wheelsets with minimal manpower. It measures axle wheel seats, bores the wheel hubs accordingly, and then presses both components together.
The final measurement certifies the correct assembly of the wheelset.

Highlights
Highlights

Output an assembled wheelset every 3 minutes

The automation of wheel and axle handling, as well as the boring and measurement processes, makes it possible to run the manufacturing cell with just 2 operators.

Highlights

Operate the cell with a single borer (if needed)

The system can continue production, while you conduct preventive maintenance or other tasks in either machine, without the need to stop the cell.
