Stanray M-Series Wheel Truing Machines: The Next Step Forward in Wheel Set Maintenance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2022
- The Stanray® Wheel Truing Machine product line has been the Wheel Truing Standard for railway wheel set maintenance since 1949. Freight and transit railways worldwide depend on the Stanray’s robust milling machining technology to reprofile their wheel sets. Learn more about the advantages of milling and NSH USA’s continuous improvement efforts that created the next step forward in wheel set maintenance: the Stanray M-Series.

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 jmurphy@nsh-usa.com. Thanks for watching!
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!
Awesome!

Thanks! And 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!
Cool animation. Now I can show people what I make for a living without getting confused looks.
Glad to help, Dan! Thanks for watching.
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!
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.
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.
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
