The automated line for magnetic particle and ultrasonic testing of railway wheel rim, hub, web and flange to be integrated into the wheel inspection station.
The line includes:
- Magnetic particle inspection equipment for in-production testing of railway wheels for surface defects by fluorescent-magnetic technique in accordance with EN 13262, ISO 6933, ААR M107, DIN EN ISO-9934-1,2,3, GOST 10791.
- The ultrasonic testing system ensures inspection of wheels according to EN 13262 & AAR M 107/208, GOST 10791, followed by return of tested wheels to the finished product acceptance stand.
The line solves the following tasks:
- conformity to quality control requirements for wheel products as per GOST 10791-2011, with test productivity of 25 wheels/hour;
- conformity to quality control requirements for machined wheel centers having a flange, as per TUU 35.2-23365425-640:2009 &TU U 35.2-23365425-643:2009, with test productivity of 20 wheel centers/hour;
- compliance with quality control requirements for machined locomotive wheels with outer diameter of the rolling circle up to 1350 mm, with test productivity of 10 - 20 wheels/hour, depending on the product size range and specific standard requirements;
- compliance with quality control requirements for machined freight car wheels of American railways with Ø28"÷ 43" and test productivity of 20 - 25 wheels/hour;
- test result data communication to a single server of the inspection station, followed by generation of test reports.
