RAIL-HEAD PROFILE RESTORATION BY PLANING AND GRINDING

Severe rail-head wear calls for removal of appreciable metal to restore a running service profile and Plasser & Theurer's rail-planing machine SBM 200 is ideal for transposing rails in curves and planing "in situ" to reclaim rails previously disgarded as scrap. Futhermore the newly-introduced GWM 220 rail-grinding machine using oscilating stones is introduced for eradicating corrugations under service conditions. Accurate restoration of rail running-surfaces is ever more essential with sophisticated wheel-tread profiles as is the need to monitor for wear, also included in GWM 220 formation.
