RGM Series: Rail-Bound Grinding Machines, Ideal for Turnouts and Long Track Sections

Up to 12 grinding modules in a single-wagon design or 24 grinding modules in a two-wagon design can be adjusted independently of one another via a computer-controlled grinding process and offer the capability for automatic turnout grinding. All actuators and drives of the grinding technology operate pneumatically or electrically, which minimises the fire risk and makes a significant contribution to environmental protection. Through the use of customer-specific signalling equipment and a corresponding interface, these machines can be integrated into a train consist or move fully independently within the rail network. A UIC compressed-air braking system provides the necessary safety. Air-conditioned and generously sized cabs at each end of the machine offer the operating personnel a comfortable workplace. With a powerful integrated generator, the machine can operate self-sufficiently for several days if required and, thanks to the EU 2016/1628 Stage V emissions standard, offers an optimal balance between efficiency, availability and environmental protection. Optionally, the machines can be equipped with various laser measuring systems for measuring the rail transverse profile, rail longitudinal profile and roughness. If required, a water system with a capacity of several thousand litres can be installed, which can be used for firefighting and track cleaning.
