FLOW-LINE FOR ASSEMBLING SECTIONS OF RAIL-AND-SLEEPER UNITS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: railway building machinery and equipment. SUBSTANCE: assembly flow-line has direct and return assembly flows which are parallel to each other and provided with transporting devices in the form of carriages which are installed on guide members. Length of carriages corresponds to length of track section. Also provided are positions with technological equipment and transfer facilities which link assembly flows together. In each assembly flow, carriages are installed close to each other to form trains of carriages. Assembly flow-line has mechanisms for longitudinal movement of carriage trains. These mechanisms are installed on transfer facilities. Technological equipment for operation with each similar-type component of track section is installed on guide members for moving along actual operating position. Aforesaid arrangement of assembly flow-line allows for simultaneous and independent fulfillment of work on operating positions with substantially less number of mechanisms for longitudinal movement of carriages. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 1 cl, 3 dwg
