Track construction
The maintenance and renewal of track systems poses many challenges for those who maintain the infrastructure.
We like to take our time and develop the right solutions or have them already made.
Here are some of the solutions we came forward with in the past years, based on customer problems.
Railroad tracks
Railway tracks require regular maintenance. Removing, transporting and cleaning old rails requires special technical solutions.
We have developed special machinery for problems in maintenance and modernization of rail infrastructure throughout Europe. New solutions are always developed on customer problems. Here is a small selection of previous solutions:
- FMU brushing machine takes over the cleaning of rails semi-automatically. The rail head and rail base are prepared for welding. This makes the maintenance of used railway tracks much more efficient.
- FMU adhesion table supports the gluing of insulating joints with millimeter precision for automated train monitoring. The insulation required for electrical separation is precisely placed in the adhesion press.
- FMU plating machine seperates wooden sleepers, drills precise holes, screws the panels, stacks and straps the finished, serviced wooden sleepers at a cycle time of 2 sleepers per minute.
- FMU test press can test vertical and tensile forces on used rails. In this way the quality of the maintenance of railway tracks can be guaranteed.
- FMU rail crane enables easy loading and unloading of the rail on transport wagons. The fmu safety pliers are also used, which make lifting and lowering rails weighing tons safer and preventing them from slipping.
- FMU prestressing machine accelerates the production of concrete sleepers by automatically prestressing the iron wires before entering concrete. This also guarantees a uniform quality of the sleepers.
- FMU processing machine supports the production of concrete sleepers together with the wire tensioning device. The long cast is then cut to the necessary threshold width.
Sets
The maintenance and renewal of railway vehicles also poses challenges for the workshop.
Rail vehicles
Vehicle sets are regularly serviced and sometimes completely renewed. Large, heavy parts that can hardly be moved manually are often to be replaced. We have developed special systems for this, which greatly simplify the manipulation of heavy components in the workshop.
- FMU transport line is a conveyor belt between the individual production steps at the assembly of Flexity 2 cabins.
- FMU manipulator for built-in roofs helps in the production of train sets by correctly positioning the built-in roofs for the assembly.
- FMU remediation pit is mobile. We come to your remise and you can work on subfloors of long range sets (up to 150 meters) with dry ice or sand blasting.
- FMU high-bay warehouse for axles can carry and store the multi-ton axles on several levels to save space. A container crane is used for manipulation.
