Rail processing machines include rail milling, grinding and welding machines. After long periods of operation, certain parts of the track, in particular the curved sections of the track, may suffer rail defects, such as wear of the rail, cross-section errors, damage resulting from ageing, short or long waviness and head checks. The milling and grinding processes reprofile the rail head to eliminate rail defects and improve the smoothness of the rail surface and improve the wheel-rail contact relation.
Rail welding machines are used for the construction of new railways, as well as the reformation of existing railway lines to complete on-railway, off-railway and lock welding. The welding machines are able to weld two rail ends together and, immediately following necessary post-welding treatments, the tracks are able to meet the requirements of railway operation.
