THE TECHNOLOGY SMART MACHINING DEVELOPED BY DANOBAT REDUCES CYCLE TIMES AND INCREASES PROCESS RELIABILITY AND SAFETY, THUS EXTENDING THE USEFUL LIFETIMES OF THE WHEELS OF THE RAILWAY ROLLOING STOCK.
DANOBAT is to present its latest technology developed for the smart machining of wheels at the forthcoming INNOTRANS trade fair, where it will exhibit preventive and corrective solutions for a wide range of vehicles.
The company will also be showing its latest machine-tool solutions, high value-added production systems and fully flexible solutions tailored to the needs of the customer, integrating technologies developed in-house in the new paradigm of Industry 4.0.
DANOBAT will take the opportunity provided by the fair to present its new generation of DHD underfloor wheel lathes. A robust, reliable solution that provides a fully automatic machining process. Equipped with attachments for automatic hold-down device for inboard axleboxes and a continuous-contact high-precision measuring system.
The machine recognises the measurements of each wheel, and the smart machining algorithm uses those data to select the optimum profile, minimising the reduction in wheel diameter and maximising flange width.
The SMART MACHINING technology developed by DANOBAT reduces cycle times and increases process reliability and safety, thus extending the useful lifetimes of the wheels of railway rolling stock.
The system is also designed to work in extreme climates and offers easy maintenance and calibration as well as high precision and repeatability in measurements.
