Turning of new railway wheels

Depending on train type the wheels have their different characteristics and requirements. To achieve the best possible result there are different considerations to be made, starting with choosing the right tools.

In order to achieve an undisturbed evacuation of the large volume of chips, the T-Max P holders offer stable clamping and are available with high precision over- and under coolant and Coromant Capto^® interface. Round and square inserts are available in different grades and geometry types. Together with the tool holders we can offer a highly productive standard offer, optimized for complete machining of a railway wheel.

The effects of coolant

• The effects of high precision coolant: Coolant delivered to the right spot at the cutting zone has a large impact on chip control and tool life for improved process security.
• The effects of under coolant: When machining at the same cutting data enables an increase of tool life and helps against the negative effect of thermal cracks.
