Underfloor Wheel Lathe

CNC Under-floor Wheel Lathe is applicable to all types of CRH EMUs and existing passenger cars and freight cars, realizing the automatic re-profiling of wheel flange tread without disassembly of the wheel set, as well as the automatic re-profiling of the flange tread of a single wheel set. It can meet the requirement for simultaneously automatic re-profiling of two wheel sets of one bogie.

Functional Description

● The CNC under-floor wheel loathe is provided with a semi-closed loop control function, which can realize the automatic turning of the wheelset tread profile.

● The lathe is provided with the optional function between simultaneous machining at both sides and machining at a single side and is provided with automatic and manual control modes.

● The working overhang of the press-down mechanism is less than 300 mm and replaceable spindle box clamps are provided, which are applicable to the automatic re-profiling of wheelset tread for all types of CRH EMUs and other vehicles. The elevation of the press-down mechanism

(excluding the clamps) is consistent with that of the rail between vehicles, so as to achieve the machining of wheelset under the special conditions of the lower vehicle apron and closer to the spindle box.

● Friction roller driving mode is adopted for the main drive. The friction-driving rollers are used to support and drive the wheel set to be machined and realize the radial positioning of the wheelset. Independent left and right roller racks are employed for friction driving, with each roller rack driven

by a separate spindle motor.

● The lathe is provided with an automatic measuring device that can measure the axial position of the wheelset to be machined and realize automatic tool setting. With the help of a measuring device and computer system, the tool-cutting system of the lathe can carry out automatic alignment cutting for the wheelset with an axial positioning function.

● By applying the special interface for wheelset machining on the same operation interface, it is able to select the information input of train, vehicle, wheelset, wheel type, and operator and display such information.

● Measured values for wheelset before machining: wheel diameter, Qr value, the distance between backs of wheel flanges, tread run-out and axial play, wheel flange thickness, wheel flange height, and contour drawing of wheel flange tread.

● Target values of machining: wheel diameter and wheel flange thickness.

● Measured values for wheelset after machining: wheel diameter, Qr value, the distance between backs of wheel flanges, tread run-out and axial play, wheel flange thickness, wheel flange height, and contour drawing of wheel flange tread.

● The control system is provided with the function of "machining suggestion", which can realize economical re-profiling and display the machining procedures with different wheel flange thicknesses and wheel diameters on the operator interface for the operator's choice, so as to make the wheel diameter difference meet the limit requirement specified for operation.

● The contour of wheelset is measured by the continuous measurement method to guarantee the measurement accuracy of the contour, make the quantity of measuring points be adjustable between 50 and 100, and really achieve rational and economical re-profiling.

● The lathe is provided with the fault self-diagnosis function, which can make judgments accurately, give an alarm without delay and display the fault information in case of lathe fault.

● The lathe is provided with safety protection and a control function.

● The lathe can send its current status to the safety monitoring system so that the requirement for safety monitoring is met.

● The replaceable special machining tool for the wheelset is used, showing a good chip-breaking effect. In addition, a chip breaker and an enclosed collection device for chip removal are provided, so that the iron chip can be automatically transmitted through the enclosed passage to the iron chip

box above ground within the workshop.

● The lathe is equipped with standard wheels, which have the functions of adjustment and calibration.

● The lathe is provided with an anti-slip function, which can realize automatic tool retracting or shutdown in case of a cutting slip (stuck).

● The lathe is provided with the anti-misoperation function and the alarm display function in case that the selected action can not be carried out in the current state.

● The lathe is provided with the return function from cutting interruption and the operation panel is provided with the function key for tool replacement, so as to meet the tool replacement requirement during cutting.

● The lathe is provided with the zone machining function, which can select the machining zone based on the actual conditions of the contour, so as to reduce the unnecessary non-cutting stroke.

● The lathe is provided with the measurement function during machining, which can follow up and measure the actual diameter of wheel set simultaneously with re-profiling in case of multiple tool machining.

● The lathe is provided with a lubricating function, and a recovery device must be equipped when the lubricating oil is applied to meet the requirement for environmental protection.

● The traction device can ensure that the positioning accuracy of the wheelset is ± 50 mm and the maximum speed passing the under-floor lathe is 5 km/h.

● The human-computer interface is good and an advanced digital programming system and a solidification program are provided.

● The lathe is provided with data printing, recording, storage, and output functions.

● The electrical cabinet, electrical element, motor, reduction gearbox, bearing, straight guide rail, lead screw, and hydraulic system element shall be selected from the products of internationally famous brands.

● The electrical cabinet shall be provided with a dedicated industrial air conditioner, which has a protection class of IP54 and the function of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

● The oil inlet and outlet shall be provided with the anti-blocking alarm function.

● Safety lights shall be provided at locations easy to be observed and these lights shall display the initial positioning state of the wheelset, especially for directing the feeding and retracting of the vehicle to be machined.

● The lathe is provided with a networking function that can exchange information with the tread diagnosis system of the wheelset, as well as the interface with the EMU information management system.
