CNC Portal Wheel Lathe: Precision and Efficiency in Wheel Re-Profiling

  • Automatic Roll-Through Design: The CNC Portal Wheel Lathe features an automatic, portal-style construction with roll-through movement, ideal for efficient handling of wheel sets.
  • Versatile Application: It is suitable for simultaneous re-profiling of both new and worn wheels, disassembled from various railway vehicles, including locomotives, electric and diesel multiple units, coaches, wagons, metro, and tram coaches.

Robust Performance: This extremely rigid machine can handle depth cuts ranging from a minimum of 0.5 mm to a maximum of 12 mm on both wheels of a set, ensuring precise and efficient re-profiling in a single operation.

Pl. note that improvements is a continuous process. Hence, details explained above may undergo some changes meeting functional, quality and productivity requirements of the required technical specification.
