how much cutting depth and feedrate? spindle speed? can do 10mm and 0.5mm feedrate?
All of this information (and more!) can be found on our website: nsh-usa.com/machine/niles-axle-lathe. Thanks for watching!
NSH USA is an awesome company. Digitalization is the future.
Thanks for the kind words, Jeff! It always helps to have awesome partners like you and the folks at Empire Dynamics.
As someone who works in a machine shop that is always trying to more effectively machine each part while maintaining safety, this video perfectly sums up the value of a digital verification. I love the Cut Measure Cut process, it is great way of ensuring a perfect part without having to worry about varying material or tool wear. Keep up the great work!
Yeah, the Cut Measure Cut process definitely helps decrease issues. Thanks for the kind words and watching!
Having a closed door machining principle must save so much time rather than moving and setting up several times. Not to mention increase in safety. Nice!
It's been a game changer around here! Thanks for watching.
Do most machines this size not have doors?
In this day and age, most machines of this size and type do have doors. The "closed door machining principle" is more of a metaphor than a comment on the actual doors. Thanks for watching!
Cutting edge stuff! Very impressive!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the kind words! We are going to be publishing more videos in this series, so keep your eyes peeled.
How much does it cost ....
We are always happy to talk pricing for our machines - send an email to [email protected] with more information about your project and we will take it from there. Thanks!
hello, I'm Indonesian, I want to work here, is that possible?
We are always accepting applications on our website: nsh-usa.com/employment/ - thanks for your interest!

We like to think so! Thanks for the kind words.
Каким образом вы собираетесь обеспечить соосност и элипсность?
Станки Stanray серии M имеют интегрированные процессы предварительного и последующего измерения, а также следящие рычаги, которые контролируют положение колесной пары во время процесса обработки. Спасибо за просмотр!
Hello! What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method of changing the wheel profile?
Glad you asked! The advantages include decreased operation intervention needed to generate the wheel profile, the milling machining process is optimal for extreme wheel wear conditions, and milling creates small chips that are easy to manage. The one disadvantage is that the milling cutter head is wheel profile-specific, so you cannot change profiles as fast as a CNC control can. Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for watching.
I want to know how to operate this machine because i am selected for this work in Indian railways
Your supervisor should provide you access to the Operation and Maintenance manual for this machine. If that document is no longer available, I'm sure we could dig it up. Hegenscheidt can also schedule additional training for you and/or your team - talk to your supervisor about such things. Good luck with your new job!
I am sure ....where you working there is hyt company machine....so you can contact hyt company they will provide proper training about all cnc lathe machine
О, ВКМ 😏
Thanks?
Да, ружья кирпичом не чистят...
Love this machine
We agree - it's quite the machine! Thanks for watching.
Awesome! 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
Thanks! And thanks for watching.
What type of oil is suitable for this machine?
What is the code for the circle diamond?
Hello Barış Burak KÜTÜK - I'm not certain what you are asking. Please provide more context so I can better assist you. Thanks!
@@nsh-usa Hello. What is the brand and code of the cutting tool? For example RCMT (SANDVIK) I have a chip breaking problem and I like the chip breaker form of the cutting tool in the video. my english is not very good sorry.Thank you.
@Barış Burak KÜTÜK Hello Barış Burak KÜTÜK - the cutting tool is a standard round insert geometry from the railway line of most major tooling suppliers. I hope that helps!
Any heat treatment needed after the wheel being machined?
No heat treatment after machining! Thanks for watching.
I am interested in being a distributor in Thailand because the company has contacts with the Thai railways.
Hello! Thanks for contacting NSH USA. We currently are covered in terms of a rep in Thailand - should that change, we will drop you a line.
@@nsh-usa Thank you for informing.
Do BNSF and Union Pacific own these lathes? What job titles operate this equipment?
Hello Mike - BSNF owns a similar sort of underfloor wheel lathe: the Niles UPM. The rest of their underfloor wheel reprofiling as well as all of UP's are done on a Stanray Underfloor Wheel Truing Machine, which is a mill instead of a lathe. Both get the wheels round again! As for job title, I would say "Machinist" is the most prevalent. Thanks for asking - and thanks for watching!
Do you know what alloy of steel used for railway axles. Why does a very long spiral chip shoot of at beginning of change cut direction?
Hi Charles - I don't immediately have answers to either of your questions. I will ask around and see what I can dig up for you. Thanks for watching!
narrow place . Not good for working for installation.
We've been doing fine for the last two years with this installation - thanks for watching!
soy de mexico y tengo un torno simmons de 1.200mm convencional, es una maquina que apesar de sus años trabaja muy bien me agrada mucho lo robusto de esta maquina
¡Me alegra saber que su torno Simmons sigue funcionando! Son grandes máquinas. ¡Gracias por ver nuestros videos!
@@nsh-usa gracias por contestar mi mensaje tendria una pregunta espero no molestar mi torno no encuentro fotos en internet pareciera ser unico ustedes tendran fotos de cuando los fabricaban ?
@@nsh-usa el agradecimiento por la atencion a mi mensaje espero y poder seguir en comunicacion con ustedes y mandarles algunas fotografias del torno, tambien felicitarles por maquinaria de muy buena calidad
Si nos envía una foto de la placa de identificación de la máquina o incluso solo el número de serie, es posible que pueda obtener más información sobre su torno. Por favor, hágamelo saber lo que es posible - gracias!
@@nsh-usa tienen alguna cuenta de facebook para que pueda mandar fotos por que por youtube solo puedo emonjis
That's badass! Skookum, some might say.
Seconded! Thanks for watching.
Cool animation. Now I can show people what I make for a living without getting confused looks.
Glad to help, Dan! Thanks for watching.
What an innovative method to true these train wheels! The video is really helpful for viewing it as well. Does this method decrease the amount of future defects as well as time in trueing over other methods?
Thanks! Keeping the wheel profile in its optimal state is definitely one way to prevent future defects, but there are certainly other factors: track conditions (they have an optimal profile as well!), vehicle conditions and operation, etc. Thanks for watching!
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.
Now we are talking! Thanks for watching.
But will those shiney new wheels be enough to disuade railway workers from striking?
Wtf is wrong with you rail workers are worked like dogs
Only management willing listen to Labor can do that
Nice video showing how that works! Couple of questions I hoped you could answer: 1. How many carbide teeth does each of these machines use? What is the average maintenance period to replace them? 2. How many times can wheels be refurbished? What cost savings do you estimate versus wheel replacement? 3. Can the machine detect cracks or un-fixable imperfections on the surface, other than just the depth gauge that the video showed?
Holy smokes - you are not messing around! #1 - It all depends on the work piece + profile that is being machined. I will have to get back to you on that one, as the person that has at least the range is visiting a customer today. #2 - Again, it depends on the diameter of the wheel and what depth of cut is needed to bring the profile back. Just in for preventative maintenance? Very little metal is coming off, so it will be back at the Stanray a few more times. Epic flat spot? More metal is going to have to come off. Sorry that that's a vague answer. As for cost savings, that one is less vague - the amount of time, people, and equipment to lift a rail vehicle, drop a bogie and/or wheel set, and then put a new wheel set in is substantial. And if you do not have the equipment to reprofile the wheel sets in that shop, then they have to be sent elsewhere! #3 - yeah, outside of external defects, this machine does not have the capability to detect cracks or other wear below the surface. Thanks for all the questions - and thanks for watching!
I don't own a train but if I did I would choo-choose you to resurface the wheels
We'll be here when you finally get that train - until then, thanks for watching!
I'm surprised we're not buying trains right now.
@@proscriptus There's no time like the present.
Very satisfying for my eye holes. Really hit my spot.
We made it precisely for your eye holes, so mission accomplished. Thanks for watching!
do you happen to offer any wheelset disassembly/assembly equipment?
@@JohnHall-zh7um We do indeed. What are you looking for? Here's a rundown of the Simmons presses we supply: nsh-usa.com/wheel-presses/ - if you have more questions, drop me a line at [email protected]. Thanks for watching!
Very cool stuff! 🚅
Thanks for watching, Jacob! And yeah, the video is cooooool.
@@nsh-usa You know, I have been wondering lately, what are the benefits of driven-tool machining vs single point turning?
Glad you asked! - The full profile milling process creates the optimal wheel profile every time; the finished profile is dependent on the tool, not the operator - Milling cuts through wheel defects without operator intervention - so no need for the operator to manage speeds/feeds or chip flow - The milling process creates small chips for ease of containment and collection - No need to undercut flat spots or other wear like the lathe - Also no need for the operators or maintenance staff to learn machine tool programming to operate and maintain the process - If one of the inserts breaks, it is not a dealbreaker like a single point cutting insert That's a start - happy to do a deeper dive if you are interested.
This is my dream job.

Get those reps in! Thanks for watching.
What lubricant do you put fit the wheel to the axle? Thanksss
Hi Jose - that would likely be Wheel Mounting Compound WM-10. Thanks for watching!
@@nsh-usa thank so much!! Do you know if the axes are sanded before introducing the wheel?
Hi!! Nice video, what lubricant do you put to fit the wheel to the axle? Thanks
ｇｏｏｄ
First
I never doubted such things, Dave - thanks for watching.
Do you pump oil between the axle and the wheel before pressing
For demounting wheel set components, we will do that when applicable to the work piece. For mounting wheel set components, it's usually just lubricant. In the video above, the application did not require oil injection. Thanks for watching!
DO you have a sales partner in India?
We do! Send us an email at [email protected] with information about your project, and we will take it from there. Thanks!
@@nsh-usa I did send an email but the email was not delivered to your end. System message: "The group sales only accepts messages from people in its organization or on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list".
@@ssematerialcell2073 That's no good! Thanks for letting me know about this issue - I am working to rectify as we speak. In the meantime, you can drop me a line at [email protected].

Beep beep
And a "beep, beep" right back at you! Thanks for watching.
Little more work required, swarf dumped on the floor, skip required, robot then turns wheel over again dumping swarf on conveyor. I expect this was a new installation, nice job otherwise.
Bingo! The facility this machine and material handling were being installed in had a chip disposal conveyor / system right there on the floor, as there were a number of machines lined up like this. The manufacturing facility where the testing (and this video) were happening, however, did not have that chip disposal system in place. Thanks for watching!
I never knew such precision went in to railroad wheels.
We got to keep them running on the tracks safely and efficiently! It is wild (and reassuring) just how precise all of it is. Thanks for watching!
@@nsh-usa Thanks for posting the video.
There's more where that came from! Enjoy.
You recall memories, in the early 80's, I worked for Canadian Steel Wheel in Montreal, I started on Webster & Bennett boring machines. The most impressive part of the factory was the foundry and the forge. It was in this (very noisy) factory that I started to have tinnitus.
Wild! Yeah, those lathes can start screaming when they really get going. Sorry to hear about the tinnitus.
Step dad worked at a box car plant as a welder, they also turned axles and wheels but on old punch card and tape NC machines.... Yes it was the 70s ! Pullman Standard Bessemer AL
Very cool! I am betting those machines your stepfather worked on were either Farrel or Niles machines. Thanks for watching!
thats a fantastic design. I imagine that this machine would reduce costs of keeping the train axles/wheels straight and running trues since the wheels stay on the train and not taken off. Fantastic !
Definitely true! It reduces dwell time needed for maintenance, increases the lifespan of the wheel sets, and increases safety by maintaining the optimal wheel profile. Thanks for watching!
