Project goal
Reducing the number of piece set-ups and production time for railway bogies, increasing productivity levels.
Project solution
FR 6000 floor type milling-boring machine:
- Tailor-made configuration
- Machine equipped with several heads to cover different types of machining operations: automatic universal head, horizontal head, angular head and boring head
- Special design heads by SORALUCE for specific machine operations
- Automatic head changing system
- Vertical machining of the bogie for improved stock removal, reducing heat generation and avoiding workpiece deformation
- Pendulum machining to prevent idle times
- Full accessibility to the bogie for verification and measuring operations
The selection criteria for the SORALUCE machines were a high increase in productivity for us, based on the time studies made in advance and which were contractually guaranteed and retrospectively also proven in production
