Mobile and stationary flash butt welding machines
and stand-alone systems for railway tracks
Efficiency and reliability with the help of flash butt welding
Flash butt welding is the most reliable joining technology for track construction and it is a proven fact that it provides the lowest failure frequency. Schlatter offers welding machines that run in different
customized systems.
Welding machines and systems
Worldwide flash butt welding has become increasingly popular for production of continuous welded
rails.
Mobile rail welding systems
With the help of the mobile welding systems, continuous track sections are produced directly in-track.
With our high level of system expertise, we are able to assemble complete mobile rail welding systems from compact welding machines, carrier vehicles, power generators and further
auxiliary equipment.
Stationary rail welding systems
Stationary welding systems are mainly used in large welding plants for joining short rails to long rails. Furthermore, components for switch construction can be welded.
The Schlatter welding machines are the heart of this welding process and can be supplemented with additional machines to create a complete system.
Stationary rail welding machines GAAS80 and GAA100
System GAAS80
The GAAS80 welds short rails of any length to long welded rails up to 500 m lengths and even longer.
Its main feature is the exact lateral alignment of the running edge and vertical alignment of the running surface. The web clamping device is independent from the electrodes and it
ensures the rails do not slip during upsetting.
