CNC Design have developed worlds leading CNC technology for Wheel lathes for Machine Tool builders who manufacture New Machines and for Retrofitting of existing Underfloor and Above Floor Wheel Lathes used by Railway Maintenance Workshops for re-profiling wheel sets.

Siemens Digital CNC control SINUMERIK 840D and SIMODRIVE 611D are used as the technology platform.

Technology developed for Wheel Lathes includes:

  • Wheel profile and diameter measurement, recording and display
  • Intelligent machining cycles for wheel profiles.
  • Reporting and database management.
  • Tool life, wear and breakage monitoring
  • Friendly HMI for ease of use.

Wheel Presses Technology

  • PC based controller
  • Force v Distance monitoring
  • Wheel runout and concentricity.
  • Automatic pressing cycles
  • Data storage for all measuring data with traceability.
  • Servo positioning of hydraulic ram
