The solution from SCHUNK- Efficient wheel set maintenance with high flexibility.

Workpiece: 40 different types of railway wagon wheel sets.

Task: Flexible machining of different types of wheel sets without the need for any major conversions.

Solution: The wheel sets are placed on two ZENTRICO THL plus steady rests, are automatically centered, and axially clamped between a hydraulically actuated center from SCHUNK and the tailstock.

On the spindle side, the wheel set is transported using different adapters adjusted to the corresponding shaft types, which the customer has designed and manufactured itself in close cooperation with SCHUNK. Due to optimized lever kinematics, central lubrication, integrated roller rinsing, and dirt guard, the steady rests achieve maximum clamping forces for each roller, as well as constantly excellent centering and repeat accuracies. The hydraulic center developed by SCHUNK is impressive with its solid design and compact dimensions.

Customer benefits: With the help of SCHUNK products, the customer has developed a particularly economical machine for efficiently refurbishing railway wagon wheel sets, enabling efficient wheel set machining even at smaller locations.
