Railway wheel lathe RAFAMET UBC 150

The UBC 150 is a high-performance wheel turning machine specifically designed for the re-profiling of railway wheelsets without the need for disassembly. Engineered for in-floor installation, it allows for efficient and accurate machining of wheel profiles directly on rolling stock, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance effort.
Equipped with two synchronously operating cutting units, the UBC 150 ensures symmetrical machining of both wheels of a wheelset in a single cycle. Its robust construction guarantees long-term precision and operational stability.
The UBC 150 is ideally suited for railway workshops, depots, and maintenance facilities aiming to streamline wheelset servicing and ensure the operational safety of their rolling stock.
