Robotic Complex for Wheels and Tires Thermal Processing

This complex is aimed for conveying the following production during heating, heat hardening and tempering:

• Railroad wheel blanks with D 710-1260 mm as per GOST 9036-88, GOST 10791-2004
• Wheel blanks for export as per standards UIC 812, M107/М208
• Wheel blanks for cranage and other equipment with D 710-1260 mm as per TU 14-15-199-89, TU 14-102-170-96
• Carbon-steel wheel treads for standard-gauge railway rolling-stock, underground system and locomotives as per GOST 5000, UIC, ASTM
• Traction motor pinion blanks as per GOST Р51220

Materials for blanks and treads:

• Wheel steel as per GOST 10791
• Steel 20 - Steel 60 as per 1050
• 45ХН as per GOST 4543
• 55Ф as per GOST Р51220; UIC812; BS; М 107; Gв 1804; ТВ/Т2708; Т as per TU 0943-209оп-01124323-2005

Weight of blanks is from 280 to 1200 kg.

Within the framework of the project SME Tomsk Electronic Company as a Special Partner of Andritz MAERZ GmbH General Contractor provided the following services:

• Development and Customer approval of plan solution for the line including Andritz MAERZ GmbH equipment supply share
• Bringing Andritz MAERZ GmbH construction task in line with the Russian standards and formation of common construction task for the line
• Development of cost estimating documents for installation works including Andritz MAERZ GmbH equipment supply share
• Site equipment installation management and conclusion of contract for erection works with the local installation company
• Generation of report forms for equipment installation (КS-2, КS-3) for Andritz MAERZ GmbH.
• Development of construction documentation and manufacture of equipment for Robotic Technology Complex
• Сommissioning including connection with the existing rolling line

Introduction of Complex for Thermal Processing enabled:

• Changing from production of wheels and tires with hardness 320 HB to production of wheels and tires with stable hardness values up to 360 HB
• Blanks cooling maximum 50ºС down after leaving a heating furnace and providing 28 seconds for wheel delivery from the heating furnace to the back line of hardening machines (15 meters)
• Integrating the line information space into the shop and rolling line information space that provides information tracking of metal from the moment of heating till the moment of products shipment
