101 543 en 12/2009 1.3-5

Layout The machine is placed in a pit underneath the approach rails.

Prior to the machining of a wheel set part of these rails (slide
rails) is hydraulically moved out of the machine range.
Two compact machine column are supporting:
 the drive and centring systems for the wheel set,

 the crossbeams with both tool posts,
 the hold-down unit,
Feed When the slide rails are closed, the wheel set to be machined
is positioned on the machine.
Photoelectric switches enable precise positioning of the wheel
set on the machine.
The wheel set is driven by means of infinitely variable three-

Drive phase motors. The drive forces are transmitted to the wheel
tread by 4 driving rollers.
Another 2 rollers serve as axial guiding system for the wheel

set.
Centering A maximum of rotational accuracy of the wheel set tread

relative to the axis of rotation can be achieved by fixing the
axle boxes while turning. For this purpose, an axle box fixing
device is provided on the machine.
The machine can be provided with outer and inner (optional)

axle box fixing units.
1.3-6 101 543 en 12/2009

Measure Wear measurements of the wheel set profiles and the

automatic positioning of the tool blocks are controlled by the
combined positioning and wear probe installed on the
longitudinal slide.
The electronic slippage monitor recognises momentary

slipping of the drive rollers (if existing).
Tools For wheel set machining, tools with throw away carbide inserts
are used.
Processing All highly-stressed positioning guides are tempered. All roller

bearings are sufficiently lubricated for their service life.
The gear units of the drive roller drive are filled with oil.
All positioning guides in the machining range are protected

against the penetration of turnings.
Control The machine is equipped with a CNC control system.

The electrical components are installed in the control cabinet
on the rear side of the machine. Machining can be performed
in either semi- or fully automatic modes. The machine is
operated from the main operating panel.
It is possible to observe the cutting via monitors (if available).
101 543 en 12/2009 1.3-7

Chip disposal The chips generated during machining are fed to the crusher (if
existing) by
means of the casings mounted on the machine,
where they are crushed and transported to the outside by a
chip conveyor (if existing).
Dust collection Any dust that arises during machining is sucked out of the
(if existing) working area of the machine.
Camera monitoring Cutting is monitored by CCD color cameras. Two monitors in

Wheel set drive
Wheel set driving system Wheel set take up and driving are effected by means of a
vertically floating friction roller drive system.
The friction rollers used for power transmission are mounted in
pairs in two separate roller carriers each of which is supported
in a low friction three-point mounting.
Within the area of the friction rollers, the mounting is

hydraulically pressurised via cylinders on a continuous basis
so that the system can follow non-positively the eccentricities
and flat spots of the wheel treads.
Opposite each of the two rear drive rollers, an axial guide roller
is located.
In combination with the wheel set centering methods

described below, the system guarantees a maximum
conversion capability of axle load into torque, that is, maximum
chip cross sections and optimum machining precision are
reached.
 A danger of accidents exists if protective devices are

bypassed.
Never reach into the rolling area of the machine when
in operation as the danger of injury here is very high.

Wheel set fixing / Hold-down systems
General In order to achieve ultimate machining precision it is important

that, during reprofiling, the position of the inserted wheel set is
kept constant to the reference points of the measuring and
turning tools. Depending upon vehicle and wheel set type, this
is achieved by radial and axial fixing of the wheel sets, with
priority over their bearing casing and inner tyre surface or the
axle centre bores.
Alongside this wheel set fixing, hold-down devices can provide

increased axle loads for light vehicles, thus also enabling
these to be machined economically with large chip sections.

Supporting outer bearing The axial bearing fixing device is used to support an axial-lying
fixing wheel set with a limited force (2 x ca. 25 kN) at the outer
bearing box (1), whereby the wheel set is centered in the
radial direction.
The wheel bearing is therefore at the rotational centre point

during the turning process, which guarantees optimal
precision.
The outer bearing fixing device comprises a horizontally

shiftable slide and a vertically adjustable base frame (2).
 The slide glides on two antifriction guideways that are
bolted onto the crossbeam. The movement is effected by
means of a hydraulic cylinder.
 The base plate is clamped into any vertical position by
means of a self-locking spindle. The spindle is driven by
means of a hydraulic motor.
The base frame can be provided with adapter elements (3)
which are suitably shaped to fit to the axle boxes.
The end positions of the base plate and the slide are
monitored by means of limit switches.
 When not being used or when wheel sets are being rolled
in and out, the adapter elements must be in their external
safety position.

Inner bearing fixing device In the case of wheel sets with smaller axle loads, the inner
bearing fixing device enables the drive rollers to be pressed
against the wheel set with greater force.
The wheel set is simultaneously held against the axle bearing

box (1) by this device and is thereby radially fixed.
The additional load exerted by the lifting cylinder pressing

wheel set, may not exceed 40 kN per wheel.
In the same way, the additional load is dependent upon the

design of the hold-down claws.

Profile wear measurement Measurements are taken by the two measuring wheels on the
measuring support (1). The number and position of the
measuring points on the wear profile is selectable. The
collected values are compared with the respective permissible
profiles for reprofiling contained in the CNC control system in
order to determine the new diameter to be turned. Radial and
axial eccentricity deviations, flat points, axial position of the
profile and gauges to be kept to are taken into account (see
chapter 2.1 "Operation", Menu screen "Premeasurement“).
This produces the values for an automatic cut segmentation

and tool lining in dependence on the selected machining
principles. The calculation can be performed with regard to
either the gauge or wheel flange.
The profile wear measurement is taken in working steps:

 When the wheel set is rotating, the measuring wheel (2)
determines the measured values from the top of flange till
the outer end of the running surface.
 In special cases and when the wheel set is stationary the
flange rear face is measured by the measuring wheel (3)
(suburban vehicles).
The measuring tool block is integrated into the longitudinal

slide and is hydraulically extended and retracted in the
X direction. When retracted the measuring tool block is
protected from chips by a flexible flap.

Aligning the machine
³ The recommendations and dimensions from the valid

foundation diagram are to be observed for all work!
Deviations from the standard execution are to be taken
into account correspondingly.
The machine must always be installed so that it is

• centrally aligned with the entry rails,
• level in the direction and perpendicular to the direction of
vehicle entry and
• its vertical position corresponds with the position of the
entry rails.
1. The points A2 and A1 are to be determined from the center
of the foundation at an interval of 10 m and the points B2
and B1 at an interval of 5 m. They must lie precisely on the
centre of the track.
2. A steel wire C must be drawn from point A2 to A1. The steel
wire must intersect points B2 and B1. If this is the case, it is
ensured that the rails are exactly opposed before and after
the machine. If the steel wire lies beside points B2 or B1,
the tracks must be corrected.

3. The machine must be deposited on the foundations with a

crane on the fixers.
4. Align the machine so that it is precisely horizontally and
vertically level on the cross-beam. Use a spirit level
(precision 0.04 mm/m) for aligning.
1.6-18 101 543 en 12/2009

5. Attach aligning aids (1) to both sides of the machine.

6. Mark arcs of an equal radius (approx. 4 m) around the
columns of the aligning aids with a third steel wire. The
1 intersection points D1 and D2 of the arcs must lie on the line
from A1 to A2.
The admissible tolerance of the intersections to the centre of
the track (steel wire) is ± 0.5 mm.
7. Place the rail bridges between the edge of the pit and the
machine and align them with the steel wire at the centre of
the track.
8. The machine stand with the rail bridges must be aligned with
the upper surface of the rail with the fixers on the machine
stand.
9. Then precisely align the machine stand. For this, apply a
spirit level to measuring points 2, 3, and 4.
Max. admissible deviation  0.02 mm.
