RAIL

• Traction Gearing
• Bogie Manufacture and Upgrade
• Wheel and Axle Components
• Inspection and Failure Analysis
• Component Refurbishment

Spiral Bevel Gears

• Case carburized TO 58—62 HRc and precision cut to DIN Class 3
• Capacity to manufacture spiral bevel gearing up to ? 2m.

Pinions

• Case carburised and accurately ground including taper crowning. A shot peened full root radius on our pinions provides a substantial strength increase.

Bull Gears

• Case carburized & shot peened and ground and/or skived
• Tooth by tooth full contour induction hardened and ground
• Profile regrinding of old worn bull gears to better than new AGMA 12 accuracy (gears can remain on axle)

 

STATE OF THE ART ROBOTIC BOGIE PRODUCTION

Robotic Fabrication Capacity

• 2x7 Axis robotic welding arms
• 2x5T robotic manipulators
• Fully automated robotic fabrication

Bogie Machining

• The bogie frames precision machined on one of our CNC heavy machining centres.

Bogie Fabrication

• CERTIFIED TO ISO3834 & EN15085 Bogie frames can be completely fabricated using both certified welders and robotic welding. Full
  stress relieving is also available.

 

MANUFACTURE & ASSEMBLY OF WHEELS & AXLES

Machining Wheels

• Forged wheels finished machined on one of our six Heavy Duty CNC 5 Axis Machining Centres including multi pallet changer.

Machining Axles

• Axles manufactured to AAR Standards or higher. Sourcing of forged material, NDT tested and finished machined.
