Turning process:

NB! For training recommended for machinists to try cut wheels on

decommissioned carriages/railcars etc.

1. Use wheel chocks to prevent rail cars movement.

2. To cut rail car wheels, the rail car wheel set first must be lifted with two hydraulic jacks for 15-25mm above rail head.

3. From one side of rail car wheel set place and fix portable wheel lathe 1AK200 COMPACT and from anothers side - place and fix wheel

spinner WRD-380.

4. When starting wheel spinner, first make sure that the friction wheel rotates in the direction required for wheel cut and change if needed.

5. Set the minimum rotation speed of the friction wheel at beginning of railcar wheel rotation and increase speed to desired slowly.

(the optimal rotation speed is determined experimentally depending of the used turning inserts and railcar wheel defects).

6. Slowly move the tool holder with turning insert to rail car wheel and start cutting process at minimal cutting dept and speed.

7. The turned surface is controlled by a standard profile gauges.

8. After finishing the cutting process you should:

- smoothly reduce the speed of wheelset rotation and turn off the power supply

- smoothly move the tool holder roller away from the wheelset wheel

- smoothly lower the wheelset and remove the hydraulic jacks

- remove the wheel chocks
