What is Lontronrails’ Portal wheel lathe and why it is used?
What is a Portal wheel lathe?
Port portal lathes are the ideal solution when a wheelset needs to be dismantled from the bogies to operate on the wheel and the braking discs.
An automatic system for machining a double-gauge wheelset has been created and patented by Lontronrails.com.
Use a portal lathe to face the disc brakes and turn the wheels on railway wheel sets.
The following procedures are possible with portal lathes:
- Automated wheel profile measurement
- Reprofiling of motor or trailer wheelset types wheels
- Brand-new wheels turning
- With disc brakes
- Procedure for machining editing.
CSK8015/8011-[CNC] After the wheel sets are dropped, a CNC portal wheel lathe is appropriate for CNC machining and repairing the wheel sets of various types of vehicles (EMUs, tube trains, and urban rail vehicles) with a gauge of 1435 mm. It has features for automatic wheel size detection and measurement, measurement data transmission, and printing. It also has functions for machining and repairing wheel tread, wheel flange, inner rim surface, an axle-mounted brake disc (inner/outer side), and a wheel-mounted brake disc (inner/outer side).
How does the portal wheel lathe work?
The wheel lathe has an automatic wheelset size measurement feature that can measure the wheelset diameter, wheel flange thickness, wheel flange height, tread profile shape, wheel flange width, radial runout of the tread rolling circle, wheelset inner distance, axial runout of the inner end face of the rim, QR values, etc. The CNC system automatically saves, exports, and uploads the measurement data.
The CSK8015/8011-CNC wheel lathe uses friction transmission as its wheelset drive mode. Both the working environment and safety are protected by it. It contains a self-diagnosis feature for equipment failure and a display function for associated information. The wheel lathe uses a double tool holder machining technique and a through-type structure.
The portal wheel lathe also has a wheel stop system to prevent the wheelset from rolling inside the machine tool and a wheeling (pushing wheel) mechanism to prevent it from doing so.
