Goals of FIL Development
The main goal is development, manufacturing and introduction into commercial operation of automated FIL consisting of modern components and providing the following:
- Quality enhancement for manufactured railroad wheels
- Increase of production of railroad wheels with enhanced wear resistance
- Full automation of acceptance testing of railroad wheels:
- Washing and drying of railroad wheels
- Transportation of wheels through process area (un-stacking, tilting, stacking or putting wheels into cassettes, gathering of discarded wheels into stacks)
- Checking wheels disbalance
- Checking dimensional parameters of railroad wheels
- Checking hardness at of rim edge of the wheel,
- Visual checking of surface defects
- Ultrasound inspection of internal defects
- Magnet fluorescent inspection of wheel surface
- Shot blasting unit for wheel hardening
- Applying of anti-corrosion protective painting
- Applying diameter value on the wheel surface
- Putting marking on the wheel surface
- Information support with generating full data sheets, recording all parameters and features of the wheel (painting, shot blasting, internal structure etc)
- Automatic control of parameters, providing regular operation mode of FIL
- Routine collection, processing, transfer and storage of data on the state of FIL process equipment
- Displaying of parameters, reflecting the process progress and provision of servicing personnel with actual data about failures in operation of FIL equipment
- Remote automated and automatic control over process equipment.
