The UGE 180 N Underfloor Wheel Lathe is a CNC double-saddle special-purpose lathe, designed for the machining of wheelsets used in rail vehicles. Its main application is reconditioning of wheel profiles and brake discs of light rail transit system vehicles (trams, metro, commuter) without dismantling of wheelsets from the vehicles. This significantly shortens the shutdown time of vehicles and thus increases the efficiency of their exploitation. Reprofiling of single wheelsets or bogies dismantled from vehicles is also possible.
The machine is installed on a pit-type foundation (below the traffic rails), which ensures its operation in a roll-through system.
The machine tool is also available in the tandem configuration - 2 UGE 180 N, which is capable of machining two wheelsets of the same bogie.
(1) - Another track gauge to be agreed upon. Multi-gauge version available. (2) - For track gauge of 1435 mm and standard execution. (3) - The height of machine tool base is zero reference. (4) - Lifting height of machine tool measuring device at moving zero position.
