How a train wheel is made - Sandvik Coromant 

I would have never thought to re-turn the wheels while they were still attached. Genius!

I think the animations were very well done

Short, precise and very informational.

real life footage would've been great!

Seems there was a typo in your copy, the wheels are not mounted on an axes but rather axle.

A very well done animation.. loved it .. thanks the designer ..

This is a great animation of the overview of how train wheels are manufactured. Although I feel it is necessary to point out that not all aspects of the wheel are machined such as the contours, usually only the outer edge where the flange and the tapered point contacts the rails is usually machined to spec as well as the ID that is press fit onto the axle. Its also worthy to point out that wheels on both locomotives and freight cars are turned fairly often as when the wheel is in tolerance and has a perfect tapered angle there is a significant less amount of friction between the rail and the wheel.

this video is brilliant. thanks.

FASCINATING!!!

merci sandvik

Great video

Speaking of high demands, what kind of graphics processor and CAM software do i need to generate these simulations?

which software you have used to make this video ?

Nice clean rim

Thanks, good to know.

*amazing*

Is it common practice to re-machine the wheel surface while still on the train or is this a new technology?

It must be expensive to get the endless white void to put the factory in

Why 3D anim, why not the real pictures ?????

I have always found it interesting how small a train wheel flange is compared to how huge those trains are. All it takes is one inch of lift of the wheel for whatever reason to cause a major disaster. I'm beginning to think that flange climb is one of the main causes of derailments especially like I said before the flange being so short.

nice animation

Mounted on the... axis?

good

Roll bahn....so much better a word than...train.

9gag sent me here.

It dosent need any balancing after machining it?

No Michelins?

오 신기해요

Very interesting. You don't have anything about the type of steel used. That would be good to know too.

the bending process is called press-forging

I've seen imperfections like rust out spots and flat spotting on rail cars. The wheel goes down the rails banging or grinding . Holes are uncommon, but I've seen some of those too. Steel can be an imperfect metal to forge.

Now Forged Wheel will manufactured in India 🇮🇳 Also it will export to Europe.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET !!!

Bending machine MUST be made from really tough steel! Why don't use it for rail wheels?

I HAVE TURNED THE WHEELS BORED THEM OUT TO FIT ON THE AXLES

Luar biasa lokomotik canggih🚈🚃🆗️

so it's like pencil then, if it become "dull", you just "sharpen" it. Easy, long lasting, efficient!

The wheels are pressed on the 'axle', not the axis. The bearing is pressed on also, not held on by three bolts.

Axis? I think you mean Axle.

That's right, don't show is the real footage, just CGI the crap out of it instead and use a robot for the voice over. So convincing!

"ship evacuation"?

Why is this difficult? Because it's hard?

before compression forged ......... really..... that is what forging is and you wonder why I drink....

I thought they made train wheels not cartoons!

@10

CG is boring. Video of real wheel production would be better.

Why am I watching this? I don't even own a train 😅

Choo choo

Inte mycket kvar av det svenska. Bara engelska för hela slanten.

I'm sure/hope the wheels were secured to the axle a little better than they appeared to be at 01:47 - 01:53 ..and seemingly secured by x3 bolts!!! Should have shown the real/whole process. Good for youngsters I suppose.

Not how u really make it untrue

Animation?! Habt ihr keinen richtigen Film? Könnt ihr es in der Realität noch nicht?

Mounted on the "axis"? And the crap digital voiceover? Bleaughhh...

Made In China.

Fake animation..... Watch real factory processes instead of imaginary animation

Animated rubbish.

This totally sucks
