Task:

Machining of long rail sections for switches

Solution:

  • Machining centre with a high-performance tilting spindle head
  • Pendulum mode: machine table diveded into two working spaces with a special clamping device in each
  • Assembly in parallel with machining
 

Special characteristics:

  • Special construction of hydraulic clamps and clamp jaws for rail tracks
  • Two NC rotary tables working in gantry mode ensure torsionally stiff suspension of the long clamping bridge
