TOTAL CAM SOLUTIONS DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURER OF TRACK SLAB & TURN OUT JIGS
Track Slab Adjustment Jigs:
Purpose: To facilitate precise positioning and leveling of track slabs during installation.
Features:
* Adjustable components for fine-tuning slab position and gauge accuracy.
* Integrated levelling systems for real-time monitoring.
* Robust locking mechanisms to maintain slab position once adjusted.
Turnout Jigs:
Purpose: To ensure accurate installation of track turnouts (switches) that allow trains to change tracks.
Features:
* Design tailored to specific geometry requirements of different turnout types.
* Mechanisms for adjusting the angle and position of the turnout for optimal alignment.
* Built-in calibration tools to maintain gauge and track alignment.
Designing and manufacturing of both systems for railway tracks involves several important engineering considerations to ensure safety, performance, and durability. Here’s a structured approach to address the requirements required.
1. Needs Assessment:
We have conducted in-depth discussions with the multinational construction company to understand project requirements, timelines, and budget constraints.
2. Design Phase:
Developed initial designs for both track slab adjustment jigs and turnout jigs, incorporating feedback from engineering and construction teams.
Utilised CAD software to create detailed models and simulations to visualise jig functionality and performance.
3. Prototyping:
Created prototypes of the jigs to test their functionality and ease of use in real-world conditions.
Iterated on designs based on testing feedback to improve performance and user experience.
4. Manufacturing:
Implemented advanced manufacturing techniques to produce high-quality jigs that meet stringent engineering specifications.
Focused on material selection to ensure durability and resistance to wear and environmental factors.
5. Training and Support:
Provided training sessions for the construction crew on how to effectively use the jigs to achieve optimal results during installation.
Offered ongoing support and adjustments as needed throughout the construction phase.
Challenges Overcome:
Precision Requirements: Achieving the necessary precision in both gauge and alignment for the track slabs and turnouts, ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
Customisation: Adapting jigs to suit various project specifications and different types of rail configurations.
Time Constraints: Meeting project deadlines while ensuring high-quality outputs.
Benefits of the Jigs:
Purpose: Increased Efficiency: Streamlined the installation process, reducing the time required to lay track and ensuring quicker project completion.
Enhanced Accuracy: Improved precision in track alignment, contributing to safer and more reliable rail operations.
Cost Savings: Reduced rework and material wastage through accurate installations, ultimately leading to cost savings for the construction company.
