Wheel Presses

Atlas Rail has number of wheel mount/demount machines in single or double-ended designs, as well as wheel measurement devices for automated axle checking, back-to-back measurement and wheel diameter measurement.

Atlas Rail wheel profile measuring machines are used when wheel profile data is required. Profile measuring machines are commonly used prior to the use of portal wheel lathes, where the recorded data is passed to the portal wheel lathe prior to establishing machining requirements.

This enables the portal wheel lathe to commence cutting the wheelset as soon as it is loaded, without the need to conduct a measuring cycle thereby reducing overall machining cycle time.

Profile measuring machines can also be incorporated into various other stages of wheelset processing, as well as being incorporated into particular machines where required.

The wheel profile measuring machine is a highly effective means of reducing overall processing cycle time along with supporting data quality management systems.
