CNC lathe DFR

horizontalfor train wheel machining

DFR (single and tandem version) is specifically designed and manufactured to reprofile locomotives and freight cars. Specialised lathe for locomotive and freight car wheel reprofiling Up to 40 ton 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 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 Smart machines make smart decisions The DFR adjusts the process parameters according to the incoming condition of each wheelset. Avoid human error, improve process reliability, reduce cycle time and minimize operating costs. If you need 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 Turning operations Measuring (1) (6) Wheel profile (2) External faces (3) Wheel mounted brake-disc facing (4) Axle mounted brake-disc facing (5) Wheelset clamping Centerless Between centers
