400 Tons Automatic Locomotive Wheel Mount And Demount Press Machine With Double Cylinders

Our fully automatic double cylinder wheelset press is the most advanced wheel press machine available on the market today. Available in capacity ranging from 200 to 500 tons. This machine features a precisely positioned cylinder on each side of the machine along with our state-of-the-art measuring system that utilizes a high-tech servo system and a series of analog laser measuring devices to position each wheel-set component with high precision. All tooling is specialized and easily exchanged to safely accommodate a large variety of wheel set components and configurations.

Application scope:

This Automatic Wheel Press Machine is mainly used for the mounting, dismounting and back pressure testing of locomotive wheelset wheel discs and driven gears of the HXD series locomotive wheelsets. It can generate, record, save and print the pressing curve (Pressure vs displacement, pressure vs time). Only required one operator to operate the wheel press machine.

Main technical parameters:

(*Above parameters are indicative, and can be modified as percustomer's requirements.)

Machine features:

• The Machine is a horizontal hydraulic wheel press and will be installed in a pit. (The model without pit is also available.)
• The Machine is able to mount/dismount both wheels on the same axle without turning the axle and in a sequence first the wheel at one side of the axle then the wheel at the other side.
• Gantry frame structure, with high strength, good rigidity and less deformation.
• Double-end cylinder pressing. Only need one positioning without reversal of the axle to proceed both sides’ wheel mounting/dismounting.
• The Machine is equipped with special patented centring devices at both ends of two ram cylinders for center hole positioning. The centre can insert into the center hole of both ends of the axle for wheelset positioning. During the whole operation process, it can ensure that the axle center line will be completely concentric with the two ram cylinder centerline to make the ram end face fully matched with the axle end face, without damage on axle center hole and preventing axle from upsetting.
• Unique Invention patented cylindrical ram for wheel mounting, with high pressing accuracy. The wheel mounting requires high accuracy and high pressing force. In order to ensure that the parts blocking the wheel are subjected to the force completely symmetrical, we adopts cylindrical ram for mounting wheel, not the side opening baffle.
• The Machine is equipped with an electrical axle lifting jack for wheelset pre-assembly and loading/unloading onto/off from the Machine. It will exit from the Machine during the mounting/dismounting operation.
• The Machine is equipped with a gearbox support to support the gearbox during the whole mounting/dismounting process.
• The Machine can track and control the whole process, detect the pressing condition of the
• wheelset, and analyze and process it through industrial computer. It can export the pressure vs displacement curve and other results onto the screen and printer.
• The Machine is designed with acoustic-light alarm to ensure the safe and reliable operation.
