Innovative solutions for a new technology of high-speed rail grinding

Abstract

Ensuring the quality of rail grinding work today is an unsolved problem due to the large influence of the human factor in the design and implementation of rail grinding technological processes. The problem is solved through the development of a set of digital software modules, which are combined into a common control system for the rail grinding process. This system is designed to work as part of a rail grinding train and provide monitoring of the results of operations on mechanical processing of rails and, if necessary, adjustment of grinding modes. The main goals of creating the system are: ensuring the accuracy and quality of mechanical processing of rails by grinding, optimizing the time resource of the technological window provided for grinding rails and forming a database to increase the efficiency of planning work on grinding rails. The presented software package is currently being implemented by STU in the project to create a new rail grinding train PXP 2.0 together with JSC Kaluga Plant Remputmash.
