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
