The new VAIA CAR KUBE welding head, created for mobile and fixed welding installations, is the most advanced system available for welding rails of any profile, including Vignoles, and for pre-tensioning them up to 1 km in length.
The advantages of this new head are the following:
- rapid welding cooling system.
- independent incorporated cutting
- blade for excess weld material.
- patented rail pre-tensioning system.
- excellent rail alignment.
- high quality weld process and welding results.
- high productivity and efficiency.
- low maintenance costs.
- simple to use.
Speed
speed on road in both directions 25 Km/h,
speed on rail in both directions 42 Km/h.
Clearance gauge configuration
the machine in question, loaded on the rail trolley is in compliance with the international clearance gauge.
Self-positioning on road or rail track
by operating the front and rear outriggers, the machine can be automatically positioned from a road surface to a railway line and vice versa also if the rails are not at the same level of the road
