| Equipement:
- 3 sleeper tamping unit made by six independent identical heads per rail with elliptical vibration.
- Penetration tools depth and squeezing time driven by computer in function of the track lift magnitude (patent pending).
- Universal leveling/lining clamp with 4 rollers for tamping in line, 2 hooks for tamping on switches and an automatic twist and gauge adjuster.
- The two dimension clamp movements correcting the geometry track errors are driven by computer that calculates the length to act in function of the pre-recorded track geometry (patent pending).
- Absolute system for measuring the position of the track (distance and level) in relationship to a fix point (i.e. catenary's pylon) at a speed up to 120 km/h (patent pending).
- Device for measuring the ballast compactness during tamping with the possibility to adjust and correct the insufficient results obtained (patent pending).
- Track geometry measurement system for recording, out of tamping works, with a speed up to 120 km/h and for checking the realized geometry during tamping.
P.S. Due to the new conception of this tamper, the usual reference system existing on the today's machines is no longer needed. |
