- Maximum comfort for the operating personnel
Up to 12 grinding modules in a one-carriage design or 24 grinding modules in a two-carriage design can be set independently of each other via a computer-controlled grinding process and are capable of automatic turnout grinding.
All actuators and drives of the grinding technology operate pneumatically or electrically, which minimizes the risk of fire and makes a significant contribution to environmental protection.
Thanks to the use of customer-specific signaling equipment and the corresponding interface, these machines can be integrated into the train formation or move fully independently on the rail network.
A UIC air brake system ensures the necessary safety.
Air-conditioned and generously proportioned cabins at each end of the machine provide the operating personnel with a comfortable workplace.
With a powerful integrated generator, the machine can work autonomously for several days if required and offers an optimum balance between efficiency, availability and environmental protection thanks to the EU 2016/1628 Stage V emissions standard.
As an option, the machines are equipped with various laser measuring systems for measuring the transverse rail profile, longitudinal rail profile and roughness. If required, a water system with a capacity of several thousand liters can be installed, which can be used for firefighting and track cleaning.
