Underfloor Wheel Truing Machine: The Stanray
Ғылым және технология
The Stanray® Underfloor Wheel Truing Machine's simplicity in design makes it ideal for heavy duty, heavy haul locomotive and rail vehicle wheel reprofiling. Railways throughout the world in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Africa, and India depend on the Stanray's productivity and durability. The machine is simple and safe to operate with the control panel located to the side of the vehicle instead of underneath the vehicle. The milling cutters guarantee “built-in” precision independent of operator skill level and wheel defects such as flat spots and shelling. The metal chips generated are easy to remove, creating no bottleneck to productivity or safety hazard to the operator. With Simmons' quick change tooling fixture and on-site spare parts program, machine utilization and productivity is maximized. The Stanray name means heavy duty reliability proven in railroading's harshest conditions.

The railroad in question asked that they not be named, so I'm going to honor that - I can say, however, that it is a North American Class I. Thanks for watching!

Why a climb cut?

Hi Bubbanski - based on our decades of experience with this milling application, we have found an increase in performance with climb milling (for example, better surface finish and increased insert life). Thanks for the question - and for watching!

@@nsh-usa thank you for the reply. What is the maximum cut for this procedure? Because sometimes there is tool grab. Also why is the finish so important? You could make a spring on final pass

Max depth of cut is .175 inches / 4.5 mm. Are you getting a lot of cutter grabs, or more just speaking historically? As for surface finish, it all depends on the customer in terms of importance.
That is a monstrously expensive machine tool. CN Edmonton Calder Engine shop payed $110 million Canadian for their and the cutting bits alone are $10,000 a piece. That's for a carefully sintered iridium, manganese steel chunk of metal not much bigger than 1 inch square and 1/4" thick.

Hi Phillip - thanks for checking out the video. However, I am confident that this machine did not cost CN anywhere close to $110 million Canadian.
Oh man, you just want to ride in on nasty wheels, let it true all six axles and ride out like you're sliding on butter.
