Wheelset Assembly Line, Wheelset Press-fitting Line 

1. Machine Usage
This Wheelset Mounting Cell is mainly used to automatically mount the wheels (and brake disc) onto the axle and do the back-pressure test, without reversal of the axle. It's applicable for the coach wheelsets and metro wheelsets with gearbox.

2. Machine Composition
The wheelset production line mainly consists of the following parts:
1) Wheel (brake disc) conveyor line
2) Axle conveyor line
3) Wheelset transferring trolleys
4) Manipulator for grabbing wheel to the other side
5) Wheel overturning and pre-assembly machine
6) Wheelset Mounting press
7) Wheelset unloading machine
8) Hydraulic system
9) Electrical control system

3. Technical Parameters
1) Maximum pressing force: 300t / 3000kN
2) Number of ram cylinders: 2
3) Piston stroke: ≥700mm
4) Maximum hydraulic system pressure: 31.5MPa
5) Maximum wheelset weight: 3000kg
6) Applicable track gauge:1435mm
7) Applicable axle length: 2100-2400mm
8) Applicable wheel diameter: 750-920mm

4. Machine Features
1) Fully automatic operation, with high performance and productivity.
2) With double-ended cylinders and pressing ram.
3) Mount both side wheels onto the axle separately without reversal of the axle.
4) Automatically measure and control the wheel position and wheel back-to-back distance.
5) Adopts Siemens PLC and AdvanTech industrial PC to control and monitor the operation.
6) The control system (including measurement system and curve recording system) can automatically detect, monitor, display and save the pressing data, and plot the pressing curve of force vs displacement and generate the pressing report.
