US Classification:
148196
Abstract:
A method and system for cutting hub bores in metal railroad wheels is disclosed. The system includes a lead and second torch for cutting the hub bores. In the method, the lead torch is moved to an initial position above the wheel. The lead torch is energized and moved to cut through a part of the wheel. The second torch is moved to an initial position above the wheel. The second torch is then energized and moved to cut through a part of the wheel. The entire hub bore is cut in the wheel. Additional torches may also be provided. A gantry system for supporting the lead and second torches is disclosed. The gantry system includes lead and second linear movement means arranged parallel to each other and a third linear movement means perpendicular to the lead and second linear movement means. The gantry system also includes a lead torch carriage means for supporting the lead torch and a second torch carriage means for supporting the second torch. The lead torch carriage means is connected to be movable by the lead linear movement means and the second torch carriage means is connected to be movable by the second third linear movement means.

US Patent:
59385162, Aug 17, 1999
Filed:
Dec 17, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/992193
Inventors:
John F. Simpson - Naperville IL
Brian L. VanLaar - Lisle IL
Gary W. Bendik - Clyde MI
Assignee:
AMSTED Industries Incorporated - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B23F 2103
US Classification:
451541
Abstract:
An abrasive material grinding wheel for grinding the plate front face of an as-cast railroad wheel to remove sprues and riser pads has a projecting and leading edge to extend the ground surface into close proximity to a hub and fillet section of the railroad wheel, which grinding wheel has a reduced wall thickness, a recess for receiving a retaining flange to reduce the elements extending from the outer face of the grinding wheel, and a sloped outer grinding surface projecting the leading edge and providing a grinding-wheel surface adequate to grind the entire riser pad from the plate front surface between the wheel rim and the front hub fillet, and to generally retain the grinding wheel outer surface contour during multiple grinding operations.
