3500kN Locomotive Wheel Press Machine

Product Specification

3500kN Automatic Locomotive Wheelset Mount Press With Double Cylinders

Our fully automatic double cylinder wheelset press is the most advanced wheel press machine available on the market today. Available in capacity ranging from 200 to 500 tons. This machine features a precisely positioned cylinder on each side of the machine along with our state-of-the-art measuring system that utilizes a high-tech servo system and a series of analog laser measuring devices to position each wheel-set component with high precision. All tooling is specialized and easily exchanged to safely accommodate a large variety of wheel set components and configurations. A rotation device are optional to be supplied with the machine to perform wheel back-to-back, axial run-out and radial run-out measurements after the mounting process has been completed.

Application scope:

This Automatic Wheelset Mount Press machine is mainly used for the mounting work of the wheel discs and axles of the electrical locomotive wheelsets. It can generate, record, save and print the pressing curve (Pressure vs displacement, pressure vs time) in the required format. It's only required one operator to operate the wheel press machine.

Technical parameters:

(*Above parameters are indicative, and can be modified as percustomer's requirements.)

Machine features:

• Only one operator is required for the whole pressing operation.
• Special patented centring devices at both ends of two ram cylinders for center hole positioning. The centre can insert into the center hole of both ends of the axle for wheelset positioning. During the whole operation process, it can ensure that the axle center line will be completely concentric with the two ram cylinder centerline to make the ram end face fully matched with the axle end face, without damage on axle center hole and preventing axle from upsetting.
• Double-end cylinder pressing, only need one positioning without reversal of the axle to proceed both side wheels' mounting.
• Unique invention patented cylindrical ram for wheel mounting, with high pressing accuracy. The wheel mounting requires high accuracy and high pressing force. In order to ensure that the parts blocking the wheel are subjected to the force completely symmetrical, we adopts cylindrical ram for mounting wheel, not the side opening baffle.
• Overall gantry frame structure, with high strength, good rigidity and less deformation.
• Electrical support trolley for wheelset pre-assembly and loading/unloading onto/off from the Machine. It will exit from the Machine during the mounting/dismounting operation.
• A gearbox support is provided to support the gearbox during the whole mounting process.
• Automatic recording of mounting curve, radial and axial run-out and back pressure test of each mounted component;
• Siemens S7 PLC and Advantech Industrial computer for operation control.
• The Machine can track and control the whole process, detect the pressing condition of the wheelset, and analyze and process it through industrial computer. It can export the pressure vs displacement curve and other results onto the screen and printer.
• The Machine is designed with acoustic-light alarm to ensure the safe and reliable operation.
• High-pressure oil injection pump is provided for oiling pressing.
