Rail Cutting Machine

A rail cutting machine is a tool used specifically for railway maintenance. It is mainly used to accurately cut rails for replacement, repair or track adjustment. For railway maintenance companies and track engineering teams, rail cutters are an indispensable railway track maintenance equipment in daily track operations. Efficient and accurate rail cutting is crucial in railway maintenance and track construction. 

The rail track cutting machines launched by AGICO are widely used in railway maintenance, track replacement, emergency repair, and other scenarios. Whether it is a portable handheld rail cutting machine or a high-power internal combustion rail cutting machine, it can ensure that operators can complete the cutting task quickly and safely, improving construction efficiency.

Core Technical Parameters of AGICO Rail Track Cutting Machine

Equipment operation and classification

• Operation mode: Handheld
• Power mode: Two available models – internal combustion and electric

Durability and consumables

• Grinding wheel life: A single grinding wheel can cut 50kg/m rails ≥ 4 times, and 60kg/m rails ≥ 3 times.
• Key materials: The motor adopts IP54 protection level, dustproof and waterproof.

Safety design

• Protection measures: The rail cutter is equipped with an instantaneous brake button, which cuts off the power with one button, and the response time is less than 0.3s.
• Safety protection: The spark directional shielding plate can be adjusted in angle to direct 90% of the sparks to the ground to avoid igniting surrounding materials.

Humanized design

• Anti-slip handle: The handle adopts a diamond-shaped convex rubber + thumb groove design, which can be firmly held even with oily gloves.
• Low center of gravity structure: Click the sinking layout, the center of the internal combustion engine is 15% lower than that of competing products, making it easier to control the posture during transportation. The lower design has wheels, which can be easily pushed on the ground and on rails.

Main Application Scenarios of the Rail Cutting Machine

Rail cutting machines are mainly used to cut rails during railway track maintenance for replacement, repair, or adjustment. They can help solve key problems in the following scenarios:

1. Track replacement and repair

Replacement of damaged rails: When the rails are cracked, peeled, broken, etc., the old rails need to be cut and replaced with new ones to ensure driving safety.
Cutting before rail welding: Before rail welding, the ends of the rails need to be accurately cut to obtain a flat and standardized welding joint to improve the welding quality.

2. Track adjustment and reconstruction

Track length adjustment: When laying new tracks or replacing rails, the rails need to be precisely cut to ensure that the gauge and joints match and ensure track smoothness.
Turnout and special track structure adjustment: When constructing stations, branch sections or special track structures, the rail track cutting machine is used to accurately adjust the track size to adapt to complex line layouts.

3. Emergency repair of tracks

Quick handling of rail damage after an accident: After a railway accident (such as a train derailment, rail breakage, etc.), it is necessary to quickly cut the damaged rails and repair them to restore train operation as soon as possible.
Track repair after natural disasters (such as earthquakes and floods): Disasters may cause track deformation and breakage. The rail cutting machine can help the railway maintenance team quickly remove the damaged parts and carry out repair operations.

4. Track electrification and special construction

Insulation joint installation: During the construction of electrified railways or signal systems, insulation joints need to be installed on rails. Cutters are used to accurately split rails to ensure the quality of joint installation.
Track noise reduction and vibration reduction renovation: In the noise reduction and vibration reduction renovation projects of urban rails or high-speed rail lines, it may be necessary to partially cut the track to adjust the track structure or install buffer equipment.
