Type:
The MC3 type frog and switch point grinding machine is designed for grinding switch blades, frogs and wheel-guides on all types of points
and crossings
The tilt angle of the grinding head up to ±30° from vertical (with angle readout on a graduated rule) also enables certain number of fillet
radii to be ground.
Its exceptional performance, its sturdiness and its firm, accurate and ergonomic controls offer optimal ease of operation.
It has been totally designed by calling on the latest techniques used in the machine tool industry.
The combination of movement provided by its two carriages, which move in two perpendicular directions, gives access to a very wide zone
of action.
• Along the track (4-wheel trolley)
• Perpendicular to the track (carriage holding the machine's grinding wheel mechanism).
The grinding wheel moves both horizontally and vertically.
