Wheel set presses and measuring technology (RADS series)

MAE wheel set presses - master force with accuracy, suitable for all wheel set types. Horizontal wheel set presses in the RADS series specialize in the assembly and disassembly of rail vehicle wheel sets:

Pressing forces: 1.600 - 5.000 kN, shaft lengths: 400 - 3.200 mm, wheel diameter: 400 - 1.500 mm, unit weights: up to 8.000 kg.

Various loading and unloading options, energy efficiency through demand-driven hydraulic system, excellent ergonomics, low space requirement - a big advantage of the patented RADS wheel set presses.

High stability through compact monoblock column concept, simple pressing and separating is possible thanks to the large, basic tools stored directly in the press uprights, even for critical wheel sets with tight space requirements.

Various procedures are used for pressing: conventional pressing, pressing with high-pressure assistance, positioning against a fixed end stop or free pressing of cylindrical and conical seats.

With MAE wheel set presses different types of wheel sets can be assembled, maintained or disassembled

including wheel sets with and without brake discs, drive wheel sets for railcars, wheel sets for locomotives with transmission and/or with traction motor.

RACOS - control computer and freely-programmable measurement technology, controls the automatic movement sequence of all drives in the freely-programmable sequence, from press cylinders and tool shifting to loading technology.

Remote maintenance, convenient Windows user interface, all process information and encoder signals for positions and forces flow together, force-displacement behavior displayed in real time on the screen.
