DELTA WHEEL TRUING SOLUTION

UNDERFLOOR WHEEL LATHE FOR LOCOMOTIVES AND FREIGHT CARS

DWT (single and tandem version) is specifically designed and manufactured to reprofile locomotives and freight cars.

 

 

Great strength for high cutting forces and hardened materials

  • Full cast iron structure that absorbs vibrations
  • Best performance against temperature variations
  • Linear & prismatic guiding system for high-cutting forces
  • Extendable toolholder to improve accessibility for brake disc facing

The most cost-effective reprofiling process

Able to reprofile a wide range of wheel profiles with standard tools:

  • Minimal tooling cost
  • Less downtime, thanks to quick and easy insert indexing
  • High flexibility: The same tool can produce multiple toolpaths or wheel profiles
  • Optional brake disc facing

Specialised lathe for locomotive and freight car wheel reprofiling

  • Up to 88184.9 lb axle-load
  • Centerless or between centers machining
  • Different profile contours can be generated for wheel life increase
  • Brake disc facing possibility
  • Integrated diameter & wear measuring system
  • Automatic clamping option

If you want to minimise downtime, tandem is your solution

The DFR tandem reprofiles two wheelsets simultaneously.

  • Significantly reduces the time for turning a complete unit
  • The machine adjusts the wheelbase automatically
  • You need only one operator

When it comes to quality, every detail matters

The lathe automatically calculates an optimal wheel profile based on the worn condition, providing higher operating efficiencies.

  • Combination of accurate linear & prismatic guiding systems
  • Incorporates tool holders and measuring devices
     
  • Long-term stability compared to fabricated steel
  • Excellent vibration damping
  • Best performance against temperature variations
     

Highly robust, with the capacity to eliminate axial movement of the wheelset due to rotational and cutting forces. Increased life by means of hardened steel rollers and automatic lubrication.

During the turning operation, we spin the worn wheel using an area outside the rolling surface. This improves the rotational stability of the worn wheel.
