thats a fantastic design. I imagine that this machine would reduce costs of keeping the train axles/wheels straight and running trues since the wheels stay on the train and not taken off. Fantastic !
Definitely true! It reduces dwell time needed for maintenance, increases the lifespan of the wheel sets, and increases safety by maintaining the optimal wheel profile. Thanks for watching!
Hello Mike - BSNF owns a similar sort of underfloor wheel lathe: the Niles UPM. The rest of their underfloor wheel reprofiling as well as all of UP's are done on a Stanray Underfloor Wheel Truing Machine, which is a mill instead of a lathe. Both get the wheels round again! As for job title, I would say "Machinist" is the most prevalent. Thanks for asking - and thanks for watching!
We are always happy to talk pricing for our machines - send an email to sales@nsh-usa.com with more information about your project and we will take it from there. Thanks!
Hi Aman - if you could contact me at jmurphy@smtgroup.com, I will see what information I can dig up for you. Please include your machine's model number, serial number, and the facility you are contacting us from. Thanks! I will be on the lookout for your email.
Do you have the Operation and Maintenance manuals handy? The Operation section definitely has information about wheel profile variants: variant 1 = full flange; variant 2 and up will thin the flange.
Your supervisor should provide you access to the Operation and Maintenance manual for this machine. If that document is no longer available, I'm sure we could dig it up. Hegenscheidt can also schedule additional training for you and/or your team - talk to your supervisor about such things. Good luck with your new job!
I am sure ....where you working there is hyt company machine....so you can contact hyt company they will provide proper training about all cnc lathe machine
