Wheel Shop Automation: Wheel Mount Press Machine Cell

A Simmons automated railway wheel mount machine cell in a heavy haul railroad wheel set maintenance facility. This cell contains a Simmons SMP-200 200-Ton Single End Production Wheel Mount Press plus a variety of automated material handling systems. It pre-mounts and then mounts a wheel set after whatever needed operations have taken place elsewhere in the facility (measurement, wheel boring, axle reclaiming). Once mounted, the wheel set will be transferred to the bearing mount machine cell.

ATL-400 Simmons CNC Axle Finishing Lathe

The SIMMONS CNC Axle Finishing Lathe is designed to finish turn the wheel seats and bearing journals of an axle for new production as well as for 'reclaiming' of axles which involves finish turning of wheelseats only. For reclaiming operations, the lathe may be fitted with an automatic probing system designed to measure each axle wheel seat and determine the depth of cut to restore the finish and remove minimum material from the axle. Optional tool post mounted burnishing rollers are available for surface finish improvement. The lathe can be equipped with an optional elevator, electrically actuated and designed to interface with material handling systems for automatic loading and unloading of axles. The lathe is completely automatic. The axle drive system is accomplished via end face drivers and compressible center. The ATL-200 is an economical single carriage lathe. The ATL-400 has dual independent carriages for high production requirements.
