How does a Rail Bending Test Machine work?

A Rail Bend Testing Press is a critical tool for assessing the structural integrity of welded rails under real-world conditions. It simulates high axle loads, providing detailed insights into weld performance, failure modes, and ensuring safety and durability in rail operations.

RAIL BEND TESTING

In the rail bend test, the rail is loaded centrally on the weld to be evaluated while the load and displacement are recorded. This loading continues until either a preset deflection or load criterion is reached, or until the rail sample is broken. Our Rail Bend Testing Press ensures that the testing conditions mimic real-world scenarios, providing reliable results that can be applied directly to your rail operations.

The RBT326 rail bend testing machine is specifically designed to analyze weld failure modes under high axle load conditions, providing critical insights into potential weak points and enhancing rail safety.

DATA RECORDING

The application records and monitors data in real time during the bending process. The data is processed and displayed at high resolution in a graphical format and stored on storage media for further processing. This feature allows for easy access to historical data, which can be vital for quality audits and compliance checks.

The following parameters are recorded and displayed:

the load acting on the rail;
the displacement caused by the deflection of the tested rail.

This advanced recording feature supports quality audits, compliance checks, and data-driven decision-making.

By capturing detailed data on how rails perform under high axle loads, the RBT326 assists in developing strategies to reduce rail weld failures and enhance track longevity.

DETAILED REPORT

Upon completion of the bending test, a detailed report is stored and displayed indicating whether the test met the required parameters. This report includes graphical representations of the data, making it easier to interpret results and assess the quality of the welds. All bending reports are stored in a secure location and are accessible for viewing or printing. These detailed reports, securely stored and easily accessible, streamline quality assurance and ensure transparency in your rail operations.

For mobile testing needs, the RBT326 offers versatile solutions, allowing for both laboratory use and on-site testing. Its adaptable setup ensures accurate testing results regardless of the testing environment, contributing to more efficient rail maintenance and construction processes.
