Cylindrical roller radial bearings for railway applications are experiencing an increase in demand. The manufacturing and inspection process needs to be streamlined to increase competitiveness in a demanding market. We have therefore decided to introduce automation and autonomous control of inspection processes in 2021, which will reduce overall production times and increase productivity.
By automating the finishing operations, we will eliminate the human factor and its subsequent impact on the final quality of bearings for rail transport, which is strictly monitored and subject to high demands not only in terms of quality but also durability.
Each bearing part that passes through the line is uniquely marked, i.e. it has its history recorded, together with all the parameters checked and measured. This allows us to trace, even after several years, when the bearing was manufactured, inspected and with what parameters. This is made possible by a specific database that is linked to the control line via a higher-level autonomous control system.
By introducing an automatic line, we have created technological and economic conditions for finishing roller bearings with higher performance characteristics intended for railway vehicles. At the same time, we have expanded the automatic CNC-controlled production process of railway bearings, which have been produced on a modern production line since 2016, including turning and grinding operations. This is an improvement in the working conditions for the operating staff. The automation of control will eliminate the physically demanding burden for operators and at the same time increase the quality and productivity of work.
用于铁路应用的圆柱滚子径向轴承的需求正在增加。制造和检验过程需要简化，以提高在苛刻市场中的竞争力。因此，我们决定在2021年引入检查流程的自动化和自主控制，这将减少总体生产时间并提高生产力。
通过自动化精加工操作，我们将消除人为因素及其对轨道运输轴承最终质量的影响，轨道运输轴承受到严格监控，不仅在质量方面，而且在耐用性方面都有很高的要求。
通过该线的每个轴承零件都有唯一的标记，即记录其历史，以及检查和测量的所有参数。这使我们能够跟踪轴承的制造、检查时间以及参数，甚至在几年后也是如此。这是通过一个特定的数据库实现的，该数据库通过更高级别的自主控制系统连接到控制线路。
通过引进自动化生产线，我们为精加工铁路车辆用高性能滚柱轴承创造了技术和经济条件。同时，我们扩大了铁路轴承的自动数控生产流程，自2016年以来，这些轴承一直在现代化的生产线上生产，包括车削和磨削操作。这改善了操作
人员的工作条件。控制自动化将消除操作员的体力负担，同时提高工作质量和生产力。
