Welding of bogies using high efficiency welding procedure
Abstract
Bogies are integral elements of wagons that enable easier passage of railway vehicles through a curve by reducing friction and wear between the wheels and the rail. The axle assemblies and traction motor of the vehicle are attached to the bogie. In accordance with the standard EN 150852 classification level CL1, requirements have been set for the quality of welded joints of railway vehicles and certain components, with regard to the requirements, today bogies are produced in the company ĐĐSV using conventional welding procedures. The paper presents the application of current technology in the welding of turntables, as well as the test results and application of the robotic TWIN welding process.
